Go into your Security List.Check that - the "Download Quotes" box for this security is checked- the security has the correct Type: Stock, Mutual Fund, etc., not "Market Index".
I forgot to add
- the security has a valid Ticker Symbol- the security is not marked as hidden.- remove the Watch List checkmark.
Go to the Investing tab, click the v triangle next to the Update button.Click Historical PricesCheck the list to make sure the new securities have a checkmark (or simply click "Mark all").Click Update Now.
Are you now getting downloads for the new securities?
Yes to all of the above. I will repeat, it only updates when it's on the watch list. If it is on the watch list, it's not hidden, it has the correct symbol, and as I stated before I added the security to my portfolio, therefore I have a position.This started when I upgraded to 2017. never had the issue before, when I added a new security to my holdings.Thanks
Quicken will only download quotes for a security if ALL of the following is true.Valid ticker symbol.Security isn't hidden.Security is either on the wish list or there is a position (was bought) in one of your registers.The Download Quotes check box is selected.
I have never previously owned he security, all the criteria you mentioned above are correct. For whatever reason there's a flaw in the software. L have been using quicken for approx. 19 years and this is the first time this has happened with a new security.What you mentioned about a security that had been sold and the repurchased, yes it has happened, but this is totally different.
I think what you are reporting is consistent with what QPW told you. Quicken will only download quotes for a security if ALL of the following is true.Valid ticker symbol.Security isn't hidden.Security is either on the wish list or there is a position (was bought) in one of your registers.The Download Quotes check box is selected.The security must be owned or on the Watch list to be included in the downloaded prices. (I have not checked his 2nd and 4th criteria). I believe my QW2014 behaved the same way. Longer ago, that was not the case - the download prices check box was sufficient. At some point in the past years, a tweak was made whereby if you sold off all shares of a security, that security was effectively removed from the download list even though it was still checked as to-be-downloaded. I don't know if that tweak relates to this behavior you are citing today. One of the ramifications of that tweak, if you subsequently re-established a position in that security at a later date, the security would not be automatically re-added back onto the list.Bottom line -- if you want to watch the prices and don't own it, you have to put it on your Watch List.

Definitely a flaw in the software, hopefully quicken will correct the issue. It must be happening to others
