How can I import security, stock or mutual fund prices?

Moneydance can automatically download price information from Yahoo! (using the finance.yahoo.com service). Almost all ticker symbols that you can use with the yahoo site are provided for download. You can access this information by installing the appropriate Moneydance extension. You need to install two extensions to get this to work. First the "Yahoo Stock Quotes" extension. This does the downloading and integrating of the the latest available prices and "Stocks/Forex quotes auto synchroniser" automatically invokes and runs the the other extension at regular intervals. To install these extensions:

Select Extensions->Add... Click Next Select the extension you want and Click Next Click Finish

Do this for both of the mentioned extensions.

Then set the ticker symbol for your securities.

Select Tools->"Edit Securities..." Select the security form the list and click the Edit... button. Then Click the Edit... button to the right of the security name. Enter the ticker symbol Click OK Click Done Repeat for each of your securities.

You can go to yahoo.finance.com to search for the appropriate ticker symbol. If the security is not listed on this website we cannot get price information for it. Please note that if you are using securities that are traded on foreign exchanges a suffix must be added to the symbol in accordance with the guidelines in this document:

Please note that yahoo has failed to provide price information for some Canadian Mutual Funds and there is nothing we can do about this.
