Reminder - Sell $ amount of mutual fund

Unknown

Windows R17.4 -- I make all entries manually. I do not download any transactions.

Years ago I set up two reminders to automatically  record  the sale of the RMD from my mutual fund and deposit to my checking account. The first reminder automatically sells a given $ amount of the mutual fund.  The second reminder then transfers (xout) the funds to my bank account and the income tax withholding.  I do have to each month adjust the number of shares sold, but this is Ok.

Now I wish to do much the same with a different non IRA mutual fund; however, I am unable to set up a reminder to sell the mutual fund. I can not find a way to set up a reminder to sell (either Sold or SoldX) a mutual fund. Has this feature been removed?

I do not have any problem setting up the reminder for the transfer out (xout) , but I have to manually enter a sell transaction each month.

Unknown

I only now noticed that the sell transaction for the old RMD does not show up in the  "Manager Bill and Income Reminders" tab.   Where is this investment reminder stored ?

I am using Quicken 2017 Rental Property Manager  for Windows  R17.4

You can have "Reminders" in an Investment Account but they are basically memos or "things to remember" as you can't associate an "action" to them.

It sounds like a Memorized Investment Transaction used along with a Scheduled Transaction Group Reminder.

But how to Schedule???????  

Are you saying that in Quicken 2017 there is no way to Schedule a memorized investment  transaction?  But my OLD RMD schedule works well.

I've never used a memorized Investment Account transaction but it looks like you go down to the empty line at the bottom of the transaction list, enter an appropriate date and then right-click and select "Memorized investment transaction list", then pick up the transaction you want.  That transaction will have an "action" associated with it, like a "Sold" action if that's how you memorized it.

Use a Scheduled Transaction Group.

Tools | Manage Bill & Income Reminders

From the menu, Create New | Scheduled Transaction Group

The problem with scheduling Buy and Sell transactions is that unless the security has a fixed share price like a money market fund, you don't know in advance what the share price will be. Quicken lets you schedule these and enter them in your transaction list, but you will have to go back and edit them after the fact to correct the price to get the correct share quantity or proceeds.

For fixed-price securities, you can safely memorize the transaction then include it in a "Scheduled transaction group" which works like other reminders. CAVEAT: I have seen flakiness with these in QWin 2018/19, such as skipping months in the schedule, even after similar problems with ordinary reminders were resolved.

1.  As I wrote "I do have to each month adjust the number of shares sold, but this is OK."

2.  I think the Scheduled Transaction Group will work.  Now I need to understand how to set up the group. It looks like I can use if for some other problem I have.  Is there a good How to text or video some place.

You might start by searching the Quicken Help for "investment transaction groups"

Include the quotes to find the exact phrase

I have not had any issues with reminders or scheduled transaction groups in QW2017 26.1.15.5.

For setting up the Scheduled Transaction Group, once you click Create New, select the desired investment account, then select the Investment radio button to see the list of Memorized Investment Transactions that can be selected to include in the group.
