Fundwatch Now Downloads Free Historical Data!*

In September 2024, Yahoo!® (yahoo.com) became a subscription-based service, requiring Fundwatch users to pay for a Yahoo Gold subscription to continue downloading historical security data.

Fundwatch 19 now allows downloading of limited historical data* for FREE without any subscription. While the new data is limited, it allows you to compare and analyze new and old securities, bridging the gap with existing data. Capabilities that were recently degraded due to data restrictions are now fully restored (real-time streamer, intra-day tracking, screen/search securities, etc). Fundwatch 19 adds a number of new features as well, and you do NOT need a subscription of any kind to use any of Fundwatch's many features.

Fundwatch 19 continues to allow you to sign in to a Yahoo Gold account in order to continue to access full historical data. Yahoo offers a free trial period for Gold subscriptions, and we recommend you test Yahoo's service before committing to a paid term.

Fundwatch 19 provides you many options for obtaining and maintaining security data. You can still import historical data into Fundwatch from text files, and you can still add prices manually.  

*The free data has limitations. Please read the Help file to understand these limitations. Please also remember we cannot guarantee access to third-party services, whether free or paid, and cannot predict what changes third parties may make going forward.
