I have two securities that require adjusting

I have two securities that require manually adjusting value. After reading this forum I have tried unmatching them from online securities but they just match back up again the next time I download prices. Has anybody figured out how to permanently unmatch them so I don't have to keep deleting downloaded prices?

    After unmatching, the next time you download should spawn a window asking whether the the securities should be matched.  Choose no and create a new one.

    If you have the wrong symbol (or name) assigned to the security, change it in security details, then try again.

    You haven't clearly described the issue; "adjusting" is a pretty broad term.  If you are talking about price, the only way you get the wrong one is to not have the correct symbol assigned.

    Thank you for answering. The security is an asset backed corporate bond and the price has to be adjusted down by a certain % depending on how long you hold it. I prefer to manually calculate the price and enter it at the end of each month but every time I unmatch it, it rematches the next time. I have never gotten a window asking if it should be matched...it just rematches and downloads again. The symbol and Cusips are correct...my current price (value) is not the market price.

    If you don't want the prices to download, you should go to the Securities List and un-check Download Quotes for that security.

    Yep, I've done that. Boxes are unchecked but prices still download every time. I don't want to delete the security and enter it as a new one without matching Cusip because I don't want to lose the history. I may just have to keep adjusting prices manually.

    If Download Quotes is un-checked, the incorrect prices must be coming from your financial institution. You would have to take that up with them.
