Closing stock quotes

drh908

I am wondering if there is a way to get stock quotes as of the closing time of the market. Right now, the software seems to grab the "after market" quotes when I request them. Many times, they are significantly different than the closing price of the security. That is not really what I'm looking for. I want to use these values in order to compare them to the closing prices of the major stock indices.

Hello @drh908,

Thanks for reaching out!

To ensure Quicken retrieves official market closing prices without including after-hours data, please follow these steps:​

1. Open Quicken: Launch your Quicken application.​
2. Access Preferences: Navigate to the "Edit" menu and select "Preferences."​
3. Select Investments: In the left pane of the Preferences window, click on "Investments."​
4. Disable Real-Time Quotes: In the right pane, uncheck the box labeled "Real-time quotes."​
5. Save and Exit: Click "OK" to save your changes and exit the Preferences window.​

By disabling real-time quotes, Quicken will download the official closing prices, excluding after-hours data. This adjustment should provide you with more accurate data for comparing your securities' closing prices with major stock indices.​

Important Note: Some users have reported that the "Real-time quotes" setting may re-enable itself after certain actions, such as performing a One Step Update or updating individual accounts. To ensure the setting remains disabled, please verify the "Real-time quotes" checkbox status after performing updates. If you notice it has re-enabled, you may need to uncheck it again.

I hope this helps!
