Portfolio pricing

Question

My portfolio recalls incorrect pricing prior to the market opening.  When I select yesterday's look, pricing is correct.  Move forward to current date it reflects pricing that is not correct.  This is all done before stock market opening.  I suspect it is a bug as I have been using Quicken for 40+years.

If it's not the Real time Quotes and the incorrect prices are only being downloaded on weekends, they are probably coming from your broker. Charles Schwab has been doing this recently. See this discussion for more information.

There is a setting in the Security Details that prevents price updates from your broker.

To enable this, go to Tools > Security List and click on the name of the affected security to open the Security Detail view. Click on Edit Details then Other Info and check the "Ignore prices from broker download" box.

Jim,  Thanks for the suggestion.  I already had "Real Time Quotes" unchecked.   The issue seems to be my pricing gets updated on every Saturday at the same pricing each week?

If you are running Premier or higher, check the setting at Edit > Preferences > Investments > Real time quotes and un-check it if it is checked. The Real time quotes option gets after-market prices, which might explain what you are seeing.

This will not correct incorrect prices that have been downloaded, but it should help prevent new ones.
