Chris, Yes thanks. I actually discovered that myself later on. Obviously it was picking up some other US stock called WES.
I find this online quote stuff needlessly confusing though. I fretted trying to work out what to configure as the "Type" for my stocks given none of the default ones (NASDAQ, EUREX, etc) seemed appropriate to my ASX stocks. Also, that field is confusingly called "Namespace" when you look in the securities editor. Then I eventually discovered the Type/Namespace field serves no purpose whatever and can be configured to whatever you want to make up! That field should be removed. Also, why is it required to configure a timezone? The software is only after the latest quote price and should be able to hide that complexity from the user. -- Mark Blakeney.
