Stock Quote Services#

Daily stock prices can be downloaded from a configured stock quote service.  Select Stock Quote Account from the Online Menu to configure your service. When this information is downloaded you will see full stock quote information available in the Stock Chart.

MyMoney can download from twelvedata.com or yahoo.com .  These services require a registered account and will provide an API Key which you enter here.  Depending on your plan you will also have limits on the number of requests per minute or per day or per month.  Enter those numbers here and MyMoney will ensure those limits are not exceeded.  Just leave the value at 0 if there is no limit.  MyMoney recommends using twelvedata.com.

During the download you will see some progress information in the status bar on the bottom right.  If the download is blocked on the quota limits this progress bar may pause for a moment.  If you reach daily or monthly limits the download will print an error message explaining why the stock quotes are not updating right now.

https://twelvedata.com/ TwelveData provides stock, forex, cryptocurrency, ETF info with up to 20 years of historical data. The free account can do 8 requests/minute, and 800 per day. To setup a free account on their website, click their Get Started button, create a new account and copy the "api key" to the API Key field in the MyMoney Stock Quote Service Dialog.

Cache#

The stock quote information is cached in a folder named StockQuotes next to your *.mmdb money database file. There is also a special DownloadLog.xml index file in this folder which keeps tabs on how recently the stock quotes were updated and so on. These cached files are used to efficiently compute the historical market value for your investment accounts which you can view by selecting different dates in the Portfolio Report and in the Networth Report.
