: : I have been mostly able to get this to work from Yahoo in 6 month chunks repeating back, however I am wondering if this should (or is there a way ) update all of the investments in the portfolio at the same time when I do this? It seems to run thru all the symbols but some dont seem to update. I am now trying to get historical prices in for IGN Goldman Networking Index iShare and cant seem to get this to download historical prices at all. It will update one at a time but would rather not have to do that. Any ideas?

: Hi Mike,

: When you do a retrieve all open investments should get updated.

: There should be no difference between updating an investment if it is open

: by itself, or part of a portfolio. Are you changing the "Default Quote Server"

: or are you changing the server under the investment properties of the

: investment? Normally, you'd just leave the investment properties set to

: "Default Server", and then change the global default server under

: "Options/Internet Settings...". This will then apply to all open investments

: with the "Default server" set as their server.

: What is the symbol of the investment you're not able to get historical

: prices for? It may not be available.

: I'm not sure if this helps at all?

: Thanks,

: Mark

Thanks, I am checking settings and it could be that the IGN I have the symbol setting for internet at yahoo instead of default. I am pretty sure this symbol is ok for yahoo although I may have a couple of other index symbols that I got wrong between my Tradestation platform and Yahoo which I will need to fix.
