KeymasterOvernight Yahoo removed the capability to download multiple quotes which impacts STT. This is being resolved and a fix will be released in the coming days.
November 1, 2017 at 9:41 pm #107930KeymasterContinue to use STT as normal until a fix is done.
Updates and immediate workarounds can be found here:

ParticipantWhy can’t STT link into data vendors. I know it’s free to Chartist members and I appreciate that but if I had to subscribe to it, linking it to Yahoo would be a fatal flaw. Yahoo data is erroneous at the best of times. It’s an Excel spreadsheet but it’s bordering on a program and maybe that’s where it needs to go.

ParticipantNick would you mind posting when the fix is up as I’m not sure I’m on the update email list for STT

InactiveXL automation’s website says this has been updated with a fix – but I’ve tried to upgrade and says there’s no new version available. Maybe it’s only the paid version that’s been upgraded?
I haven’t actually contacted XL yet, but just thought i’d see if anyone has any info before I do.
November 8, 2017 at 4:07 am #107958KeymasterThey have fixed v3.0 which is the paid version. Our version will be fixed in the next few days.
Again, I will post accordingly.
November 10, 2017 at 3:39 am #107959KeymasterAfter the fix in v3.o the developer stumbled on another issue regarding the number of quotes allowed to be downloaded. It was in batches of 100, but now Yahoo limited it to 1.
This therefore creates a nightmare to update quotes.
In order to overcome this he is working on a new fix that will only pull data for open positions rather than all symbols in the workbook.
This will actually make the workbook operate a lot faster. Bottom line is that a fix will (should) be available this weekend.
November 10, 2017 at 4:02 am #107961ParticipantNick do you think it might be worthwhile having him try to access data from Norgate? We all use Norgate so have the data on our machines. I wouldn’t have a clue how to do it, but it does seem that the Yahoo model is possibly not sustainable going forward. This is the second change they have made to their data in the last few months and we could future proof the situation by changing to Norgate, or a paid data service maybe?
Just a thought

Julian have a look about 5 posts up.
November 10, 2017 at 7:56 am #107963KeymasterI have today negotiated an upgrade for all members to v3.0. There is no cost to members, either for the upgrade or recurring.
V3.0 not only provides more functionality, but also has considerably faster processing time and the user can select from dual data sources.
Will revert once complete.

Some history is needed.
STT was initially designed by the developer for his own management of the Growth Portfolio. This is not his sole business (like other providers) so he’s not trying to, and cannot, dedicate swathes of time to it.
He approached me to commercialise it to our members. It was designed as a basic portfolio reporting tool, and as it stands it suits 99% of our members.
They get it for free and I get a value-add feature for my service.
To introduce Norgate, or any other commercial data provider, will incur a recurring royalty on a per user basis. That will not fit the current business model.
It may fit Mentor Course students as you already have the data, and that would be a discussion I could have with the developer, although it would require more expense.
November 10, 2017 at 9:18 am #107967ParticipantI’m happy to start enquires. I don’t mind paying for it if it is reasonable. I’m just thinking that in the future there could be more problems and it is a very good tool.
November 10, 2017 at 9:24 am #107965ParticipantThat’s excellent. Thanks a lot for the upgrade Nick

What do you mean by the last line?
