I chose NOT to use the same names. One mutual fund I properly named and the other one I used an invented name. I am having trouble retrieving the Quote Loader program daily price for the mutual fund with the invented name. Of course, there might be another reason for this problem. Please advise.</p>

<p>Perhaps share the two ticker numbers</p></div>Stuart Beesley (Mr Toolbox)tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/551362322022-07-27T07:07:01Z2022-07-27T07:07:01Zsecurity names<div><p>I am not support staff, just a user.<br>
Hi mrengr</p>
<p>If you post the two ticker symbols and the names you are using other can test for you.</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/551362322022-07-27T07:44:52Z2022-07-27T07:44:52Zsecurity names<div><p>Security name is not relevant for Quote Loader, it works entirely on<br>

The ticker symbols in parenthesis are not part of the names entered. The first one works, but the<br>
2nd one does not. The first one can be used by Quote Loader and the 2nd can not. Seemngly.</p>

Hi mrengr</p>
<p>As Mike both securities worked in Quote Loader. I also tried FT and FT HD and they worked as well.<br>
See set up in Moneydance 2022.5(4088).<br>
In later builds of Moneydance information about securities was enhanced so older builds may look different.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/551362322022-07-27T14:04:31Z2022-07-27T14:04:31Zsecurity names<div><p>I am pretty sure I fixed the problem. As the mutual fund that caused the problem was recently added,<br>
I made a change to that entry to fix the problem. This change consisted of adding Yahoo HD to the ‘Source’ column in Quote Loader to this most recent entry so downloading price update info to MD via Quote Loader goes smoothly.<br>
