: How soon after the market closes are closing price downloads for the day available? thank you.

Hi Emily,

I'm not sure, and I don't know if there is a certain answer for all cases. It depends on whether it is a stock or mutual fund, and also on which quote server you're using. For stocks, it is probably just 20 minutes after the market close. For mutual funds, this time may vary between funds, and quote servers. You can experiment using your funds and your quote server, to see at what time the new quotes become available. If you're retrieving from Yahoo the quotes are provided with date information, so you'll be able to see when the new quotes come in.

Thanks,
Mark
