Correcting Price History

slewkowicz

For several days now , Quicken is running a task to Correct Price History. This occurs following a download from ETrade and after the Matching Securities window is completed. When I click Done on that window, a popup shows that is Correcting Price History.

Unfortunately, this task takes about 30 minutes to complete and holds up any further action in my account until it completes. Is this a bug introduced during most recent update? I wouldn't mind this correction action if it didn't take so long. The process also locks up any current open windows so I can't access them.

Reloading this inquiry after I forgot to check if there was any response.

Quicken Anja asked me to provide file location for Quicken. It's shown below. I will continue to monitor this thread until it's resolved.

The reason the moderators ask for where your data file is located is because the general policy is not to keep your data file on a network drive or in a "cloud folder". So, basically once anything that isn't easy to explain happens, they are going to suggest that you move your data file out of such a location to a local folder.

And there is a basic disconnect from that recommendation and the fact that the default location for your data file is in your Documents folder, which when people are using OneDrive to back up their files Microsoft moves it to under OneDrive.

Whether this will actually fix your problem, I'm doubtful, but it might be worth a try.

I personally use: C:\Quicken as the folder where I keep my data file. Note it is fine to keep the backups in OneDrive, the recommendation is only about the data file that you are opening in Quicken.

To move your data file First use Windows File Explorer to create a new folder that is outside of OneDrive and then use it to move your data file there. Then you can double click on it to open it in Quicken. Then from there on Quicken will know it is at this new spot.

@slewkowicz it's not clear what troubleshooting you have done for this issue. Here are some steps to try -

1. Make a backup of your data file

2. Run Validate & Repair
File → Validate & Repair →
- Validate file
- Correct investing price history

- Do NOT select “Delete investing price history.”
That option wipes all historical prices and cannot be undone.

3. Run Super Validate.
Close Quicken → reopen while holding Ctrl+Shift → Super validate file.

4. Check the price history of any securities involved in Matching Securities.
Tools → Security List → Edit Price History → remove only bad/duplicate entries.

5. If the issue persists, temporarily disable quote downloads for the problematic securities and test again.

6. If the issue still persists, make a Quicken copy of your data file and see if the issue occurs in the data file copy

Please note that online services for all accounts will be disconnected in the data file copy. You will need to reactivate online connections for all accounts, or at least the accounts you need to test. If the issue seems to be resolved in the data file copy, then reactivate all accounts and use the data file copy ongoing.
