Bob Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Using Yahoo Finance portfolio data does not update. I have cleared data and used backfill. Indicators show backfill is working, however, data does not show in the portfolio view. I have tried restoring to an earlier date when all worked. Data is correct in RAW DATA, Historical chart and Intraday chart. Suggestions welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 in SETTINGS / Data Sources / Setup Accounts, click on Yahoo. Then check the HTML Quotes option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted March 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Followed instructions, tried backfill, the only column that shows is Avg Vol. Anything else to try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 I need to get the log file to see what the problem is. Please do the following: go to FILE / Export Settings. Leave the checkboxes already checked, and also check LOG FILE. Export, then email me the exported file please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kebabman Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Is there a fix as I may have the same problem, I have HTML quotes selected. I also have no bid, ask or share name for about a third of my shares here from Yahoo uk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 @kebabman, Are the quotes updating other than those fields? What exact symbols have the issue, as entered in MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kebabman Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 The symbols are UK shares from the FTSE 350 such as AAL:L which shows no bid , ask or name but the Last, change and change % I think are updating OK. Whilst ABF:L has some figures in the bid and ask boxes but they are wrong and the name of the stock is showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Yahoo html quotes don't have bid/ask size data, which is why MT does not update it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kebabman Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Ok thanks for letting me know about the bid and ask, what about the fact that about a third of the stocks are not showing the stocks name, I think they did previously?

Jerry Medved Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 same issue if I remember correctly. MT shows the last value it received, so if you got some non HTML quotes before for some symbols, their names will be shown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kebabman Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks for the explanation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
