Manual enter of Stock Prices

Comments

You don't mention which version of Quicken you are using, but in all versions, you can enter stock prices manually.
In QMac 2015-2018, open the Securities window (menu Window > Securities). Click on a stock, then click the pencil icon at the bottom (or just double click the stock). Then click on Price History at the top. Fill in the fields (High, Low and Volume are optional). Then click Add. Lather, rinse and repeat.
If you click the Options button at the bottom, then Import History from CSV File, it will allow you to import any number of price points all at once from a Comma Separated Value file (essentially an Excel file). When you choose that option, a popup will provide instructions.Quicken Mac Subscription; Quicken Mac user since the early 90s0 -
I just set up Q2017 for Mac about 2 months ago. I previously used Q2003 for Windows XP. I like doing everything manually and all works ok except the financials.0

Carol, I don't understand your response. The entire Quicken program is about financials.
Did my reply not answer your question about manually entering stock prices?Quicken Mac Subscription; Quicken Mac user since the early 90s0 -
In your first response you stated that I did not mention which version of Q I was using so, I gave you the info.
Sorry my use of the term financial was misleading. I'm trying to set up my investments. I tried what you suggested but it is not working as I can't get same balance as is on my statement but will try again.0 -
Okay, let us know if you get it working. If not, I'm sure we can figure it out.Carol Berkeley said:In your first response you stated that I did not mention which version of Q I was using so, I gave you the info.

BTW, if you don't want quotes to download automatically, you need to uncheck the box in Preferences > General:
If quotes are being downloaded, then those prices might override the price you are entering and not exactly match the price on your statement, thus making your numbers disagree a bit.
Also, if you are comparing Quicken's portfolio to your statement, you would want to tell Quicken to give you values for the same date as the closing date of the statement. You can do so in the upper right corner of the Portfolio view:Quicken Mac Subscription; Quicken Mac user since the early 90s0 -
