For anyone interested, a working configuration for getting online mutual fund quotes from the Globe & Mail is as follows. It uses the GreatWest Life subdomain to allow access to Class F funds.
Settings - Configure KMyMoney - Online Quotes - Globe & Mail Url http://www.globefund.greatwestlife.com/ ... undsymbol=%1 Symbol %1 Price Current Price: \$(.*) Daily Date As of (.*) Current Date Format %m %d %y Leave Skip HTML Stripping unchecked |

Thank you for sharing this detail. I was having trouble downloading information on TD investments. Thanks to your post, my problem has been resolved.

It looks like GreatWestLife has revamped their site and the URL is dead. An alternative is to setup TMX Money
URL http://web.tmxmoney.com/funds-ca-quote.php?qm_symbol=%1 Symbol %1 Price \$<span>((?:\d*\.)\d+)<\/span> Date <\/h2>\n(.*)<\/div> Date Format %m %d %y CHECK ON Skip HTML Stripping (the HTML tags are needed to parse the date) |

Thank you for this. I'm going to keep this code in my back pocket for use in the event my existing strategy fails. I noticed the Great West Life failure a week or so ago when none of my Mutual Funds would update. When I couldn't figure out how to fix the GW link I started looking at other providers. In the end I managed to get The Globe & Mail site working. Doing so meant changing the Symbol ID of each affected fund. Everything else, code and other fund details remained the same. During trouble shooting I discovered many On-Line quote providers use a Symbol ID that differs from the ID provided by the fund holder. To find the funds Symbol ID used by the Globe & Mail I used their search engine, entered the fund name and established the Symbol ID based on URL returned (The last part of the URL contains the fund ID). Once I discovered this I simply update each fund with the revised Symbol ID then pointed the Online Tool to the Globe & Mail site. It wasn't my preferred solution but it worked so I was happy.

HI, sorry for posting to an older thread. I followed the instructions provided by mcian (and thanks for that!). but I'm receiving an error:
Fetching URL http://web.tmxmoney.com/funds-ca-quote. ... ENB.PR.P... Could not start process Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Unknown protocol ''. . Unable to update price for ENB.PR.P (empty quote data) I have no idea how to resolve this? or what the error is pointing to... if anyone can assist, very appreciated. d Ok..it appears I had a space where there shouldn't have been from a copy paste...appears to be working ... thanks |

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 which includes KMY 5.0. The online quote window has changed slight but still works fine for TMX Money. A strong reminder to watch for leading or trailing spaces in entering the fields. I wasted some time puzzling out why it wasn't working when I copied a leading space in my own data.

TMX has done some irritating reformatting. The following reg exp has been working for me. Some extra spaces in the Price (add \s+), and a different position for Date.
