initializing
Mike Loeb
I am moving to MD from Quicken. Need help initializing my investment accounts (wasn't tracking them in Q). I know how to add securities. How do I put them into various accounts? Also, how to have prices updated daily. Not interested in capital gains so I don't need to put in complete history - just a snapshot of today's holdings. I've installed the extension for Quote Updating. Details please - what screen, tc.
Thanks for any help
Mike

Hi Mike
This link takes you to all support articles covering investments

There are two methods within Moneydance for obtaining security prices and exchange rates automatically.
The extension “Quote and Exchange Rate Updater” found under EXTENSIONS – MANAGE EXTENSIONS. Check you are running the latest build v1024. For exchange rates use the source European Central Bank. Alpha Vantage covers the US as well as some securities outside the US, but is very, very slow. It’s my understanding that the source IEX Trading no longer works.
If the Quote and exchange rate updater does not work well for you try the extension Quote Loader under EXTENSIONS – MANAGE EXTENSION
