: Hi,
: When constructing price charts using Yahoo historical prices, I used to be able to pull in arond 190 days at a time. This appears to have been cut back to 90 days. I'm using version 5.2.344.

: Anyone know why the cutback?

: Carl

Hi Carl,

Here is the long answer: In the 5.x versions, Fund Manager only made a single request to Yahoo, and it was up to Yahoo to provide all the historical pricing at once. Yahoo changed to only provide a limited amount of data per request. In the 7.x versions this has been improved, so that Fund Manager will make multiple requests, so you can get all the historical pricing data.

The short answer is, that if you use 7.x you will get all of the data you request.

Thanks,
Mark
