Can't update security prices automatically
I have followed the instructions and in turn I have tried Quotes and Exchange Rates Updater (message "unable to get rate"), Security Price Entry (nothing) and Quote Loader (nothing); I have obtained an Alphadvantage key; but nothing works to update prices automatically. The manual process works but is a lot of effort. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Yahoo changed their system and the Quotes and Exchange rate extension has not been updated to reflect this, hence Yahoo will fail.
Alphavantage has increasingly become an unreliable data source.
Quote Loader does work there are pointers to instructions in:

I am not support staff, just a user.
Hi helen3lbl
I can also confirm that Quote Loader is working just great. I use it after every trading day including this morning.
Just read the PDF attached to the post from the link provided by dwg.
Have Fun, Stay Safe.

Hi Helen,
We are sorry to hear about the problem you have encountered.
I can see you’ve received a reply from some of our knowledgeable Moneydance customers.
I would like to confirm that although generally to update your stock price, you can use the extension Quotes and Exchange Rate Updater or the Quote Loader, since Yahoo introduced some restrictions, unfortunately the Quote and Exchange Rate extension stopped working.
While the development team are working to fix the Quote and Exchange Rate extension, you could safely use the Quote Loader.
You can find more information about the extension on post 112 in this thread.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions or need more assistance.

Many thanks to all who responded - particularly, the Quote Loader
instructions link provided by DWG was very helpful. I think I have it set
up now using Quote Loader and FT source, though still not totally sure and
watching to see how it works in practice.
