Updating Price of securities

[reddragon]

What is generally the problem when a few securities are not updating price. They have a * next to them?

Hi reddragon,

It sounds like there is no price for those investments on the report's date. Take a look at your recorded closing prices for those investments in the Data Register to verify. See the "Prices" data type in the Data Register.

If the investments aren't updating, make sure they are set to retrieve prices, and their symbol is recorded as shown on whatever quote server you're using. The global quote server is set under "Options / Internet Settings...", but it can be overridden on a per-investment basis under "Investment Properties... / Internet Retrieve".

Hello I have one security Wynn that has a asteric next to it after I update pricing. I guess that means interpolet price and it is not updating the price. Just that security. What could be the problem?

Hi reddragon,

There is an FAQ here, on the things to check, and steps to debug this:

If you still have questions, please let me know the symbol, quote server, and quote module version in question.

Hello I do not get correct pricing for brokered cd's . Is there something wrong or is this something you have to manually input everytime with these.

Hi reddragon,

Do you see them quoted on any of our supported quote servers? Please go look with a web browser, and see if they are listed. If so, what symbol do they use, and what server did you see them on?

It is obvious that these cd's are not pricing on my default server which is Yahoo. I don,t understand how to check to find out what server to use to get a price. Can you help?

This is the message it gives after it says could not update any quote server.

Hi reddragon,

Sure, just go here to start. That shows a list of all the available quote servers supported by Fund Manager. Try going to one you think might offer your quotes. For example, click on "Yahoo" in that list, and it will take you to their site, where you can search for your investment. If you can find it, then record whatever Yahoo is displaying as the symbol in your Fund Manager investment. If you can't find it on Yahoo, try a different server. If you do find it on a different server, set this investment to retrieve from that server, instead of Yahoo. You do this under "Investment Properties... / Internet Retrieve" on that investment.

Do you think I just need to update Fund Manager?

[Mark]

Hi reddragon,

I doubt the issue would be resolved by upgrading to Fund Manager 2018. You will still need to make sure you have a valid symbol entered for whatever security you're trying to update.

[reddragon]

What would the symbol be for a CD? Just the cusip? When you go to the different quote services how do you search the symbol?

[Mark]

Hi reddragon,

A CD won't have a retrievable price. Just keep it fixed at a price of $1, like cash. Turn off the property:

Investment Properties... / Internet Retrieve / Retrieve Price

so that it does not attempt to retrieve for that investment.

These brokered CD's price fluctuate with interest rates. For example Wells fargo bank on the statement has a price of 0.9997 as of August 31, 2017. So unless I put that in as price I can not get portfolio to balance every month. I can,t just leave it as 1.
