Securities#

You can view a list of your stocks, mutual funds and so on using the "Securities" View menu item.  The following view appears, and is where you can specify the Type of the security.    The current price for Securities is automatically retrieved if you configure your Stock Quote Service.  The "LastPrice" is the previous day's closing price and %Change is the daily change since the last download.

You can right click a stock to get a context menu:

Where the Update History option here forces an update regardless of cached timestamps. This has the shortcut F5.

The Type column can have these values:

The Private type allows you to track other kinds of non-publicly traded investments.  If the Stock Quote Service doesn't know what it is then you can enter the price details manually. 

The little triangle arrow on the left side expands to show the stock split information. You can edit this grid to add any missing stock splits.  Click the triangle again to hide the stock splits.

You only need to go back as far as your first Buy transaction for each security.  The following web site can be a good source of stock split history information: https://www.stocksplithistory.com

You can use the filter button at the top of the view to list only securities that are currently held rather than all the securities you have owned in the past.

Lastly the CUSIP column may be important for automatically finding the right security when you download your statements.  For this to work you need to look up the CUSIP number for your security (you can sometimes find it the memo field or the Payee field - for a new security we haven't seen before).  You can then add the new security with that CUSPID and correct Name and Symbol, then future downloads will match that correctly. If you are using OFX downloading from a brokerage account this should happen automatically, where the download will automatically add new Securities with their correct CUSIP number if it did not find them.
