If that's the case then I'd say the Quicken programers have screwed the pooch here. In Quicken Deluxe I've always used a "Short Sale" action when selling covered calls.

You create a new security, e. That puts the cash in the account and establishes the security that you can value manually as the price of the option changes from day to day. It also leaves the share balance unchanged so you can "match" to the FI.

If you purchase back the option before expiration you simply enter a "Cover Short Sale" action that reduces cash by the amount of your buy and creates a gain or loss accordingly.

That leaves the cash unchanged and finexo forex trading your gain on the quicken call option. I have been with TD for decades and would not change.

Q is the entity that has to revamp their format. If the option can be downloaded from TD with complete info quicken call option the price, it should be able to tesco hatfield currency exchange opening times updated quotes for the "ask" price.

For now, I will manually update in "Edit security prices". NotACPASuperUserPoints. Fidelity, my broker, provides option quotes.

Everything else comes from the FI. Security prices come form 2 places for purposes of this discussion - Quicken's servers which do not include options, or from the brokerages.

Brokerages may include options. If they do, it is because they are reporting to Quicken the value of each security that they hold so that holdings can be compared. If you are getting prices supplied through the brokerage, the brokerage security the option and the Quicken security must be matched together.

When you are getting the pricing through the brokerage, the ticker for the security is immaterial. Also, the brokerage is only reporting the prices for one specific day.

The user needs to download from the brokerage each day to get daily prices if that is desired. That is the answer and it must be done the following morning. I was doing TD downloads during the day and the quotes were not updating. I tried this morning and all option prices have been updated.
