Following John Ralls' suggestions, I was able to enter a price manually.  So this issue is solved. Les On 06/24/2018 08:42 AM, D wrote: Les, You say that you cannot enter a price manually. That is exceptional, as in not at all expected. What steps are you taking? When I try to enter a

No, I hadn't thought of that.  However, I did a search for the company in question and could not find one.  The company only came into being on 05/18/2018 as a result of a spinout. Even when I try to get a quote manually using a terminal, there is no data. Les On 06/23/2018 04:30 AM, Graham

Les, As John points out, you can use the Add button to enter a price even if the security has no prices displayed already. In fact, this is a freeform entry where you can manually enter prices for any security or currency in any currency, whether you have or have not set up a security account in

Les, You can’t see it in price editor because it doesn’t have any prices yet. If you marked it for retrieval and Alphavantage is feeling cooperative, “Get Prices” from the Price Database dialog will pull in a price; otherwise you can click “Add Price”, the top button on the Price Database

Yesterday, I created a new stock account, like all of the other stock accounts that I have.  The strange thing is while the stock is listed in my Security Editor, it is NOT listed in Price Editor.  How is this possible? How can I fix this problem? Thanks, Les
