Manually update bond current value

[cah1942]

I assume that we still can't have bond current value's automatically update. My question is how can I manually update the current value of a bond that I own.

Hello cah1942,

There are a couple of ways you may be able to automatically update your bond prices.

1) See the Finra - Bonds quote server.

2) If you are retrieving transactions for the account holding this bond, the price will be updated by the broker whenever you do a transaction retrieve. Retrieving transactions also updates prices for the current date, as specified by your broker.

You can also manually update the price. There are several ways, but one way is under the Data Register and with the "Prices" data type. Just select "New..." and enter a price. You can also right mouse click on an investment, and choose "Investment Data / Update Price".

Mark; thanks I used the last simplest option and it worked fine.
