Prices are not getting updated from YAHOO, YAHOO-INDIA

[sreedharvreddy]

For a long time I am facing problem of my stocks listed in National Stock Exchange India like ITC.NS, NMDC.NS, SINTEX.NS etc. are not getting updated while trying to retrieve the prices from Yahoo or Yahoo-India servers. I am getting updates only from Historical Quote server Yahoo(Adjusted Historical). Can you please look into this issue.

Thanks

Hi Sreedhar,

I see the same problem with Yahoo for these symbols. When Fund Manager retrieves prices from Yahoo it is getting it from the CSV download they offer. On the quote page, see the link to "Download Data (delayed)" in their "Toolbox" section. That CSV file normally has the pricing information, but in the case of these symbols, it is showing as N/A.

You can either write to Yahoo asking them why that download link isn't working, or you can just switch to another quote server. For example, you can get the ITC.NS on Bloomberg by changing the symbol to ITC:IN. Bloomberg uses the ":" instead of "." and the suffix is IN for this exchange. I verified that when using the symbol ITC:IN Fund Manager retrieves the quote correctly from Bloomberg. You can set the quote server globally under "Options / Internet Settings...". You can override the quote server on a per-investment basis under "Investment Properties... / Internet Retrieve".

I switched to Bloomberg quote server. It is working fine now.
