how to update OTC quote ? #18

Closed camous closed 7 months ago

camous commented 7 months ago

Hello,

I'm struggling for making OTC quote updated, this one specificaly (https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/0P00000S5C?.tsrc=fin-srch). I understood that msquote uses the country defined on the quote in msmoney for suffixing the search (eg germany -> .F (francfort)).

But for OTC, there isn't a country. Is there way to make it work ?

You should add this security to your Money file using the symbol 0P00000S5C and Country/Region set to United States. If the base currency of your Money file is US Dollar there is nothing further to do. If it's another currency then you need to remove the Money exchange prefix by following the instructions here.

Thanks for your help. unfortunately I may doing something wrong. my base currency is in EURO and country FR

  1. security initial screen (I created it initially for germany/francfort) image
  2. replacing prefix with FR and clicking on comment + NO image
  3. displaying back DE but expected according to documentation
  4. running msquote still pointing to 0P00000S5C.F image

Hi, you need to change the Pays/Région to États-Unis first (and accept the currency change prompt) before you over-type the Money exchange prefix with FR.
