Hi, I am not sure if I should put this in the bug reporting because it is something that has been working for a long time.
I am using Multicharts Ver 8.0 build 5620 to pull down free quotes for both (US stocks + 1 index) and (Canadian stocks + 1 index). The quotes are coming down fine on MultiCharts for the US stocks. The Canadian side has stopped (April 12th was the last quote). I checked the Yahoo finance using the following corresponding links
https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/quote/ENB. ... y?p=ENB.TO
https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/quote/BCE.TO/history?ltr=1
https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EG ... =%5EGSPTSE
As you can see the numbers are out there right up until today so it appears that MC has stopped picking up the data for these symbols. I tried reloads and this does not solve it. I tried using the reload menus for a week back and all date as well. I also tried ctrl+r. It is not getting the data. I opened up the quote manager and did a screen print and save to png to show the errors. Hopefully you can read it.
I am wondering if there is anything else I can try.
Thanks,
John

Re: Free quotes problem.
Hello John,
Yahoo Finance connection parameters have changed, we are currently working on an update to support these changes and will send a solution to the customers as soon as possible. At the moment we cannot tell whether it will be compatible with MultiCharts Ver 8.0 build 5620 or not.

Re: Free quotes problem.
Thanks Henry. How will we know the solution is available or maybe the question should be (how will you know who to send the solution to)? When I get the solution and try it I will let you know if it works on MC V8.0. If it does not work and you want me to stay on 8.0 and work with you to ensure it works on 8.0 I can do that. Otherwise if it does not work and you don't have time/resources to make it work I will try an upgradeYahoo Finance connection parameters have changed, we are currently working on an update to support these changes and will send a solution to the customers as soon as possible.

Re: Free quotes problem.
Hi Henry,
I am running Win 7 with 8 GB ram and I am running a 64 bit system with 3 GHz CPU speed (quad core).
To the best of my memory I am running 32 bit MC so I installed the 32 bit version from the links you provided.
After that I ran the updater from the "C:\Users\John Bowles\Downloads\MC_100\MC_100" directory
(I left both the the updater.xml file and the tsFreeDataFeed.dll in that directory)
I got this message in the updater window.
So this includes all 8 feeds (both the Canadian stocks/index and the U.S stocks/index).
So not only the Canadian ones are not loading now but also the U.S. ones too.
Sometimes I get this message but normally it resolves itself in short order.
I attached the quote manager messages.
So did I do something wrong or might the dll not be working for this older version?
Thanks,
John

I then stated MC Ver 8.0 build 5620 and all of the freequotes data feeds say "Establishing Connection... (H: Online)".Product: MultiCharts
Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\TS Support\MultiCharts\
Image: C:\Program Files (x86)\TS Support\MultiCharts\MultiCharts.exe
Version: 8.0.5620.401
Action: FreeQuotes Datafeed update

copy to: C:\Program Files (x86)\TS Support\MultiCharts\DataFeeds
registry com...
regsvr32.exe "tsFreeDataFeed.dll" /s
DONE

Re: Free quotes problem.
The process is correct. Please upgrade your MultiCharts to the latest release.So did I do something wrong or might the dll not be working for this older version?
Re: Free quotes problem.
Multicharts 32 bit version 10.0 build 14186 is now up and running.
I had an abort on the first startup but it corrected itself somehow and two subsequent starts had no problem.
The custom settings were all there.
The chart data is reloading now so all charts are up to date with the current bars.
Everything looks good.
I don't use all of MC by any stretch but for my current uses MC is a great program.
Thanks so much!

Re: Free quotes problem.
You guys might want to read over this thread. A new problem has developed and at this point I am not sure if it is Yahoo or MC.

Re: Free quotes problem. [SOLVED]
Dear users,
We have done multiple improvements in the platform to adopt to recent changes on Yahoo Finance side. Connection has been successfully restored in MultiCharts 10.0 Release 7 builds 14415/14417 and MultiCharts .NET 10.0 Release 7 builds 14419/14420 or higher versions. Please update your platform and enable Yahoo Finance in the Free Quotes data source settings (QuoteManager->Tools->Data sources) if it was disabled. Full platform restart and data reload are required to apply the changes.

Re: Free quotes problem.
scuba,
Just tested it - everything works properly.
1. Please reload the chart (Ctrl+R).
2. If it doesn't work, make sure you have Yahoo finance enabled in feed settings in QuoteManager (full platform restart is needed after making the changes)
3. What's the build number of your installation?
