: Where do I set it up to collect ohlc. I went to options data, and redownloaded but nothing changed.

: : : : I use the pro version. When I try to switch to candlesticks in technical analysis, the price line disappears. What am I doing wrong?

: : recorded for that investment. If that information isn't recorded, then
: : Fund Manager can't draw the candlesticks.

Hi Steve,

The ohlv will download automatically, as long as you're using a quote
server that provides that information. If you're using the
"Yahoo (Adjusted Historical)" that server does not provide ohlv. Instead,
you can use the "Yahoo (Historical)", which does. Also, most of the daily
quote servers, like the plain Yahoo server provide ohlv.

You can verify what data you have by using "Edit / All Data..." and selecting
the "Prices" data type.

This page shows more detailed information on each quote server, so you can
see which servers offer open, high, low, and volume:
