MyPrices
MyPrices is a FREE data source included to Share Trade Tracker that replaced the unreliable Yahoo Data Source in December, 2024. This data source utilises the built-in Stocks Data Type and some manual configuration to create an external file that holds the Price and Company information for all the positions in Share Trade Tracker. The Stocks Data Type will return the latest prices for each found security and then using the existing Share Trade Tracker functions for 'Update Prices' and 'Security Check' it will return the latest available information to Share Trade Tracker
This data source will NOT return Historical Prices or Dividend Details. If you require this data then you will need to subscribe to one of the paid data sources
