: : Hi, Mark,

: : I have a couple of questions. First, I have not been able to download US stock options prices. I've tried different quote servers--Yahoo(historical), PCQuote, etc., but none seems to deliver any options data. The only options data I get is the buy/sell data imported from my brokerage.

: : Second, this is a feature-rich program. And I might be missing something. Is there any way to show only open positions or closed trades?

: : Thanks,
: : KC

: Hi KC,

: Have you checked with your browser to see if the option quotes are available on the server you're using? Please just use your web browser to verify that you can get the quotes that way, and check what symbol the server is using for the quote you want. If you can find the quote using your browser, but can't retrieve it in FM, please let me know an example ticker symbol and quote server that isn't working. Links to all the quote servers are available here:

: There is a feature that allows you to "hide" investments. See "Investment Properties... / Other / Hidden" to manually toggle this property for a given investment. You can also automatically hide all sold investments using "File / File Operations / Hide Sold Investments...". To control whether hidden investments are displayed or not, use "View / Hidden Investments".

I see what you mean, Mark. For the Yahoo (Historical) quotes, the five character options symbols have to be suffixed with ".X". But for PCQuote, they are to be prefixed with a "." Now does it mean that I have to modify the options symbols in my portofolio accordingly in order to retrieve prices from these servers? That would be really time consuming, though.
