<p>Yahoo finance and Google pulled the plug on their quote servers. Yahoo still provides quotes but not through the Quotes & Exchange Rates updater extension.</p>
<p>What version of Moneydance are you using?</p>
<p>There are a couple of options depending on the version.</p>

I'm using MoneyDance version 2014.5 (980). What do you suggest I do?</p></div>Paul Smithtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/444133712018-01-01T21:00:54Z2018-01-01T21:02:09ZStock price updater<div><p>Hi Paul,</p>
<p>Take a look at this free tool from forum member hleofxquote.</p>
<p>It requires Java, so you'll need to install that if you haven't done so already.</p>
<p>You'll need to add your ticker symbols (a one-time process) to either of two tabs (Yahoo2 or FT) depending on where to glean your quotes from.</p>
<p>After receiving the quotes, the tool can save the downloaded data as a QIF file that you then import into Moneydance.</p>
<p>Here's a link to the tool<br>
<a href="https://github.com/hleofxquotes/hleofxquotes/tree/master/dist">https://github.com/hleofxquotes/hleofxquotes/tree/master/dist</a><br>
Click on the hleOfxQuotes-gui-Build_20171230_170.zip link, then click the 'Download' link.</p>
<p>There's a Readme there too.</p>
<p>Let me know how it works for you OK?</p>
<p>There is one other extension that forum member Mike Bray wrote that can import a CSV file of quotes (if that's something that you may be interested in, let me know and I'll provide the links to it.)</p>

I have a lot of stocks. Is there a solution where I don't have to re-enter all the stocks? Like, if I upgrade to MD 2017 will it automatically work with my current data?</p></div>Paul Smithtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/444133712018-01-01T22:05:21Z2018-01-01T22:05:37ZStock price updater<div><p>Hi Paul,</p>
<p>The Q&ER updater (currently v.1012) has been updated to work with AlphaVantage when using MD 2017.</p>
<p>Some users are reporting errors with the data from AlphaVantage.</p>
<p>Some users are reporting that mutual fund prices are not supplied until late at night or early morning.</p>
<p>Some users are reporting issues with Pence vs. Pound pricing.</p>
<p>Exchange rates may or may not be an issue. TBH, I'm not involved with them.</p>
<p>It may be worth your while to try hleofxquote's tool before committing to the upgrade.</p>

Not only did that not work, but now I can't figure out how to sync my data across my computer and my wife's computer, which I used to do by saving the data file to a shared Dropbox folder. Ugh. Is there a way to get someone from Moneydance on the phone to talk me through this?</p></div>Paul Smithtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/444133712018-01-02T10:57:35Z2018-01-02T10:57:35ZStock price updater<div><p>I am not support staff, just a user.</p>
<p>Take a look at this thread and the attached PDF at <a href="http://help.infinitekind.com/discussions/investments/3036-third-party-quote-and-exchange-rate-program-from-hleofxquotes">http://help.infinitekind.com/discussions/investments/3036-third-par...</a><br>
If you need a relatively easy method of extracting stock symbols from Moneydance post in that thread.<br>
As for syncing data between computer 2017 user a completely new syncing method, see <a href="http://help.infinitekind.com/kb/syncing-and-sharing-data">http://help.infinitekind.com/kb/syncing-and-sharing-data</a> if you have any problems setting it up just post.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p></div>derekkent23
