Try clicking on the “i” button at the bottom of the screen and then playing with the settings at the bottom of the next screen. You could always get a better 3rd-party stocks app from the App Store too.

I’m missing the current price and the relative change in my version and I have no recollection of ever seeing them and can’t find any option to alter it.
Is there a way for me to get them back?

If you need just simple stock portfolio tracker that does not require any accounts and registrations, this one is ideal:

If you touch the bar at the very bottom of the screen, where there re three dots, it will rotate between the graph, news, and stats. Just keep touching the three dots to rotate through them.

I touched the stock graph at the bottom of the stock quotes and the graph disappeared and was replaced with news items. How do I get the graph back?

You need to put it exactly as “XAUUSD=X”…ie all the characters between the quotes. I think you just missed out on the =X part. This works for me. I also use XAGUSD=X for silver.

Search through Yahoo finance until you find the code for it.

how can I add the TXS Composite to the list of exchanges?

Looks like gold may be ^YHOh714 and silver may be ^YHOh715
I found them by searching for “gold prices yahoo” and then getting to a Yahoo “Industry Center” page, and then clicking on the “Gold” link to go to a regular finance page which used the code. Same for Silver.

It is just a matter of finding the Yahoo stock code for those things. Whatever works in Yahoo finance should work in the app. I don’t know what they would be, though.

I’d like to get spot gold and silver prices from this application, not a separate webpage. One poster suggested using “xauusd” for gold but that does not work. I’ve searched yahoo since I understand the iphone app uses yahoo’s stock engine but haven’t found any symbols that give spot gold and silver prices.

Any suggestions?

The default stock app is for amateurs ….

Have you guys checked out PortfolioLive? I use it each and every day to track 3 of my portfolios (45 stocks in total). It is super easy to use, has advanced Portfolio management features (like shorts, multiple lots, cash). The devs are also releasing updates very frequently …

Oh and it has an awesome real-time stock engine … you can barely see the little communication icon go off. No charts but there is no easier way to check your stocks while at line at the deli.

John: No, you can’t remove the built-in apps, at least not yet. But you can move it to the last screen to get it out of your way.

Thank you!

aeiseman: No, there really aren’t any options. It is a simple app. If you want something more custom, you may want to find a Web site that shows stocks like you want, and then create an icon bookmark for that Web site.

Is there any way to remove the graph? I just want the list with the numbers.

drmarkz: The stocks app pulls its data from Yahoo. So if you figure out how to refer to the stock in Yahoo, then it should work in the stocks app. However, there are also many good third-party apps that show stocks too.

Is it possible to add mutual funds such as AGF china focus class from canada. I know the code (agu*chi) but the application can’t find anything.

peter: I just tried adding one and it worked: “RDSA.L” This is a Yahoo application, so anything you enter into Yahoo Finance should work.

Is it possible to change the way the name of the stock is displayed i.e. from IXIC to NASDAQ?
