How can I stop or disable old securities from getting price updates?

Question

I noticed I am getting updates in mutual funds that I sold off many years ago.  How do I stop that from happening.

I know I can do it at the moment I update historical prices, but the de-selection is not persisted.

Just find each of the funds in the Security List and de-select "Download Quotes"

Try Tools | Security List and uncheck Download Quotes for the securities where you no longer want price updates.

You also need to look for a checkmark at Watch List in the Security List and remove it.

Quicken will download quotes when

* you own greater than zero shares of a security
* or the Watch List field is checked

Actually the Watch List selection is secondary to the Download Quotes selection. The logic for downloading quotes from Quicken's quote provider is:

Quotes downloaded IF the security is in their database AND it has a valid ticker symbol AND Download Quotes box ix checked AND ((shares currently held NOT = 0) OR (Watch List box is checked))

If you are downloading transactions from your brokerage, you will also get quotes from them, even if they are not available from the quote provider.

If quotes are available from both sources, the ones from the quote provider are used.
