Trouble updating bond price on FINRA

[fmnewbie]

I'm trying to update prices on 2 corporate bonds using the FINRA server. I see from a previous post that FINRA does not supply historical quotes, but I can't get the current quotation either. I have double-checked the CUSIP on both bonds in Investment Properties. I also checked FINRA's website and found both bonds using their "Quick Bond Search" page (tickers are ibm.le and pep.lc).

Any ideas?

Hi fmnewbie,

Yes, make sure that you are entering the bond's CUSIP into the "symbol" property of the investment. The symbol field is used for retrieving prices for all investments. I just test retrieved the symbol of 459200GT2 (which is the CUSIP for ibm.le) and it retrieved properly.

Aha! I was only putting it into "CUSIP" field. Now it works for current prices. Thanks Mark for quick response.
