3. Open the Portfolio Grid by clicking the Filing cabinet icon   and select the security in question.
4. Click the Refresh History icon   on the Portfolio grid toolbar to show the following form.

                                 

5. Click the Refresh History button to download the historical data for the security specified.

 

The yellow progress bar will turn blue as the data file is downloaded.
