<p>We are sorry to hear about the problem you have encountered.</p>
<p>Can you check you're running the latest version of the Quotes and Exchange Rates extension? To do this, choose Extensions --> Manage Extensions. The latest version of the extension is v.1024. You should see an 'Update' button if you're using an older version, or remove the extension and re-install.</p>
<p>Can you also check which version and build of Moneydance you are running?<br>
To do this, open Moneydance and select Help --> About Moneydance (or Moneydance --> About Moneydance on a Mac) where the version and build number will be displayed.</p>
<p>Moneydance previously obtained rates using Yahoo, but unfortunately they stopped supporting downloads to third party applications in the last year or so. Since then we've been trying to locate other services we can include, but few are free and reliable. We currently use Alphavantage and IEX Trading.</p>
<p>Alphavantage worked well for some time, but recently changed their services and introduced a premium membership. This has limited the number of downloads per minute for free accounts, so you may find the updates are slower.<br>
We've included IEX trading as another source for updating rates. This website includes a list of eligible symbols IEX trading uses - <a href="https://iextrading.com/trading/eligible-symbols/">https://iextrading.com/trading/eligible-symbols/</a></p>
<p>Recently, a knowledgeable Moneydance customer and developer (Mike Bray) has created a third party extension called 'Quotes Loader'. This extension doesn't adhere to the same limitations as the program and is able to connect with Yahoo. You can find more information about the extension in <a href="http://help.infinitekind.com/discussions/investments/4039-quote-loader-securitycurrency-price-loader-for-moneydance-2019/page/2#comment_46912465">this thread</a> from the public discussion board. I'd be happy to provide further guidance if you want to try this to connect with Yahoo.</p>
<p>I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have further questions or need any assistance.</p>

Hi Robert</p>
<p>Just to add, the more direct link to the latest free third-party Quote Loader is post 205<br>
at <a href="https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/discussions/investments/4039-quo">https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/discussions/investments/4039-quo</a>...</p>
<p>The way Quote Loader is downloaded and installed has been updated since the linked post provided by Maddy.</p>
<p>Download the PDF attached to post 205 and have a read.</p>
<p>To get an overview take a look at the YouTube video by using the link on page one of the PDF.</p>
<p>Let us know how you get on or if you need help just post.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/475988172019-09-07T09:54:05Z2019-09-07T09:54:05ZUpdate Prices<div><p>Hi Bob,</p>

I am still having download issues for current stock prices but it looks like I download from my brokers site using Quicken format. I adjusted starting balance in account edit and will see how this works going forward.</p>

Hi chadsolo1</p>
<p>If you are having problems updating security prices can you provide a number of ticker symbols along with the full security names so I can test and then advise on what will work for you.</p></div>derekkent23
