You did nothing wrong and there is nothing wrong with gnucash. Alphavantage only allows 5 quotes per minute. You, like me, are tracking more than that and gnucash is not providing this adjustment for a single quote source. Personally, I've written a python script to get this done using an SQLite backend and if I knew this problem would last a long time I would polish it up and make it public. > To get the latest, I am now resorting to manually populating all of the > security prices.

Open the security editor (Tools -> Security Editor) 2. Display the 'Get Quote' column by using the pulldown on the right and ticking 'Get Quotes' 3. Untick (double-click to get the editor) all of them except the first 4 (they say 5 but I swear it is 4.) 4. In 'Price Database' dialog, 'Get Quotes' 4.1 Wait 60 less the time it took to do steps 3 and 4 in seconds 5. Untick, re-tick, repeat as necessary. That has got to be marginally better than manual entry. This is also a good time to review your list of securities and untick 'Get Quotes' for stocks you have sold off (0 in your portfolio). _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
