Update Prices

The automated update of prices is one of the key time saving features that Share Trade Tracker offers. It takes the list of open positions in your portfolio and then searches for the last traded price for each of those securities and then returns that price and other securities details for display in the worksheets.

The prices are retrieved from Yahoo Finance and use the security code and exchange code to find the correct security details. The prices are 20 minutes delayed.

When to Update Prices

You can update prices at any time by selecting the "Update Prices" function from the Share Trade Tracker menu. You may be prompted to update prices after completing other actions in Share Trade Tracker, for example after adding a new buy trade you may see the following message.

Clicking "Yes" on this message box will perform a search just for that security code.

Another example may be after uploading trades to Share Trade Tracker.

Clicking "Yes" will perform a full search for all securities in Share Trade Tracker.
