Detailed quote information from TSX

My US equities download the full quote detail (screenshot 1) while for my TSX stocks, the quote information is quite limited (screenshot 2) with most data shown as N/A. Is this just the way things are, or am I missing something out?

    I get the same results. I've never questioned this, but it is an interesting contrast. There are many aspects of Quicken that are not as well implemented in the Canadian version as in the USA version, IMHO.

    But the OP's comment isn't about QCdn vs QUS … both of the examples are from QCdn. It's about the display of US stocks vs Cdn stocks in QCdn … which seems quite odd to me.

    Assuming that both stocks are held at the same brokerage, it would seem to be a difference in what TSX provides vs what NYSE provides. And I doubt that Q can do anything about that.

    You’re probably on the right track, but I find it odd that TSX would not provide such basic data, which is why I felt maybe there was a Q-setting I had to tweak.

    It is a nuanced matter… the intent of my comment is that Quicken makes a lesser investment in the Canadian version. All the missing information is available for TSX traded stocks. The matter is where is Quicken obtaining from and what data are they paying to obtain. That data is available - you just need to pay for the service.

    TSX does provide such data - you can see it on Morninstar.ca, for example. It is a matter of where Quicken is obtaining the data from and what data they are paying to obtain. Hence my comment about features provided for persons who invest in Canadian securities (regardless of the version of Quicken).
