: Hi there, all!

: I've just joined the group. Looks like a great program, using the Pro version.

: I come across two problems:

: 1. Yahoo does not have Pink Sheet historical data available. Yet, for proper portfolio tracking (the 1 reason why I bought FM) I desperately need those. Of course preferrably through download. I simply hate manually entering price data. That's not what software is intended for :-)

: Anyone suggestions? Which specific download server should I use?

: 2. OHL..V missing
: I set all of my investments to < default server> and the default server is set to Yahoo or just ...it doesn't make any difference to this problem. You see, ONLY closing prices are being downloaded. And no OHLV data. That's really sad, since Yahoo does provide them for download. And as a result, my OHLCV charts are of nu use.

: What am I missing here? Is this a bug or should I be changing some settings? I cannot find any solution to it.

: Thanks for your help in advance!

: Regards,
: Stan

Hello Stan,

First of all, welcome to Fund Manager!

1) I am not aware that any of our supported quote servers offer pink sheet quotes. I'm not even aware of a server that offers free pink sheet quotes. You may need to subscribe (usually costs $) to some service that can provide the quotes. Hopefully you can download them to a file, and then you'd be able to import them into Fund Manager, rather than manually entering the quotes.

2) It sounds like you are indeed using "Yahoo (Adjusted Historical)", as when you use that server, it only downloads closing prices, as that is the only value available in "Adjusted" terms. If you instead use the "Yahoo (Historical)" quote server you'll get all the fields (close, open, high, low, and vol).

Thanks,
Mark
