MSMoneyQuotes has stopped working for me

Yes, ft.com. It added it in USD (my portfolio is otherwise in GBP). I have not experimented further: MSMoney used to recognise USD quotes (and other currencies) and convert at the current (or specified) exchange rate. Don't know if it still can with Dan's fix, or if you need to manipulate the .CSV file to get it into whatever currency you require.

Just checked - downloading from msn loads the £/Euro rate into MSMoney where it is used correctly, though I am not yet sure whether it is the latest price as it has not changesd much in the past week. Download from ft.com does not update FX rates. So looks like those of us with non UK priced investments will have to use both MSN and FT.

MSN Money seems to be getting worse - some more of my funds have stopped updating daily, and the last price is Wednesday's.

I've just tried importing a .csv file from an FT.com watchlist. It worked, but MoneyQuotes wants the price change as an absolute, not a percentage. Anyone know how to change this in FT.com? It doesn't seem obvious!

You need to create a customised view on ft.com before exporting.
Do this on all three tabs - Equities/ETFs/Funds

Thanks. I saw this, but those screenshots don't look like FT.com anymore. I'm on my way out, but I'll have another look later.

You need to set up an ft.com portfolio, not a watchlist. The Gaiersoft program runs straight off the csv generated by selecting "Actions/export" on the RHS and then clicking on the "download" button on the LHS.

I see. It's odd because even Dan himself recommends setting up a watchlist at one point: https://gaiersoftware.com/Money/FTQuotes

The watchlist brings in the right price, just not the right 'last change' figure.

Aah, sorry. I thought you were having problems getting it to work at all. I dont use the last change but rather the last weeks change as calculated by MSMoney. The portfolio csv doesnt include the last change.

It seems you can get round the issue by just clearing off the last change values. I don't need them to appear in MS Money anyway. I just want to know how big my portfolio is!

For anyone still using Microsoft Money and MSMoneyQuotes... 

For the past couple of days, MSN Money seems to be coming up with OEIC prices much more quickly. Before, some of my funds updated once a week, eventually. Now there seems to be more or less daily pricing.

Thanks for info, not been able to do my usual updating due to illness so hadn't seen this.....although seeing what's happened to the markets this week I think I prefer last weeks prices 😅
