For US stocks/bonds/funds, I’d recommend using yahoo_JSON instead of alphavantage as the quote source. I haven’t had any trouble getting 25 quotes at a time that way. I think I still get 2 currency quotes via alphavantage, but that hasn’t been a problem either.
My recollection is that someone reported yahoo_JSON as less than useful for some non-US stocks/funds. But I can’t remember any specifics. -- Dave Reiser dbrei...@icloud.com > On Aug 9, 2018, at 12:39 PM, samsurd2 <samsu...@comcast.net> wrote: > > Had the same problem yesterday although my impatience didn't allow me to let > things run for 4 hours.
