Price retrieval keeps turning back on

Questions about updating prices or transactions in Fund Manager

Postby flight » Sat Dec 16, 2017 8:17 am

Mark - I'm using FM 2014.

I noticed some securities where I have manually unchecked the retrieve price seem to be getting turned back on, without any doing on my part.

do you have any recommendations here?

thanks

Hi flight,

Could you maybe be using the "File / File Operations / Hide Sold Investments" command? That can turn on/off the price retrieve property, based on whether the investment is considered sold or not.
Thanks,
Mark

I definitely use the File / File Operations / Hide Sold Investments" command to hide closed investments.

I just don't know what it has to do with turning back on price retrieval, I don't use it that often.

Hi flight,

That command can modify both the "Hidden" attribute, as well as the "Retrieve Price" attribute of investments. On that dialog, notice the 2 options:

Turn off price retrieve for sold investments
Turn on price retrieve for non-sold investments

So, if you run this command, and enter a date range where some shares are owned in an investment, that investment is considered non-sold. Any non-sold investment will have the "Retrieve Price" attribute turned on if you leave on that option.
Thanks,
Mark

Mark - Is it strange that I have only recently experienced this problem. I've done Hide Sold Investments all the time, and never had trouble?

Maybe its the "Turn On Price Retrieval for Non-Sold Investments". Is there any reason to have this checked off? Presumably you'd already have it turned on anyways if its an open position

Hi flight,

Yes, that option will turn back on retrieve price. It has always worked this way, nothing is really new here. You may want that option on if you've re-purchased something previously sold.
Thanks,
