I would like to see the ability to get Real Time Quotes as part of drop down menu right on the Investing Tab. Currently you have to go to EDIT then PREFERENCES then INVESTMENTS then place a CHECKMARK. Pain as I like to change it daily after market close. Thanks for considering.

    Why do you keep changing it? I don't understand. If you only want to get the quotes after the close then uncheck every the 15 min and just download the quotes when you want. There's a couple other ways. Go up to menu item Investing > Download Activity > Quotes or click on the Investing Tab then on the Update button on right. It is already on the Investing Tab.

    I'm staying on Quicken 2013 Premier for Windows.

    After Hours I do not want RT quotes. During Trading Day I do. So I switch daily. You do you, I do me. This is only a suggestion, not looking for comment or user solution.

    EDIT: I thought I posted this in a section called PRODUCT IDEAS. Not sure if can be moved. This was only meant as a suggestion not a need for an answer. Thanks

    Part of the idea / suggestion process needs to be making a case for the requested change. Thus a complete description of why you want this type of change is certainly helpful to getting others on board with your thoughts.

    So you want real time quotes during the trading hours. What is the problem with leaving the feature active after hours? Slows Quicken? Gets in the way? Might a change to the real time quote process suffice just as well, where it only applied during normal trading hours?

    For many users, they have seen pricing issues develop when real time quotes are activated. Are you seeing that at all? Only after hours? Not a problem for you? That broad issue is one reason many users opt not to activate real time quotes at all.

    Thanks. Probably should not have posted. I just wanted to save myself several steps to initiate and take off the RTQ feature. I have MY reasons. I am sure majority do not monitor portfolios and online brokers as I do. I have been using Quicken since late 80s and LOVE the product. Problem for ME leaving RTQ on after hours is the prices can vary so much on low volume…..i buy and sell AH and monitor the prices with my broker. So yes the RTQ feature only during market hours would be a nice addition.

    Here is a suggestion show me how I can get a SUGGESTION to developers that will make my experience better without it being on a user forum. I have a few more but will try to post in the right area and would rather not get responses. I certainly appreciate any response if I were having a problem or issue. Thanks again.

    what are real time quotes? I selected it from investment under preferences and the prices were totally whacky….

    Go first to the ideas for Windows area

    https://community.quicken.com/categories/windows-ideas

    From there select the most appropriate sub-category (Investments?) and then click the New Idea button there.

    I've asked a moderator to relocate this discussion to that idea section.

    To enter a suggestion, you should create an Idea post.

    I converted your original post to an Idea, but I need to get a Moderator to move it to the correct Category.

    Real time quotes have less delay the standard 15 minutes or so. This is a Premier and up feature.

    The issue here is that if they are enabled, they also provide quotes at times when the markets are closed. Because trading is very thin at those times, the prices vary much more than during the day.

    Another issue is that there is a bug if this option is enabled, which causes securities that have no ticker symbol but have Download Quotes enabled to get the price for the first security alphabetically in your security list (often AAPL).
