When downloading daily data after the market close using the Data Manager and Fidelity or Yahoo data sets, how do you get today's data? Even right clicking on the chart for a security and selecting Reload does not get today's data.

Keep in mind that updates might not be available instantly after the market close. It usually takes some time (even hours) for most datafeeds to propagate today's updates.

With Yahoo! Daily data, you can "Always return data with partial bar" in its preferences dialog (Data Manager > Yahoo). This will append the "ghost" bar.

I was incorrect about the Yahoo data feed -- those data sets do update with end of day data for the current date. The Fidelity data feeds do not.

The time frame I am using is generally 7PM Eastern and I have also tried later than that with no data updates for the current date from the Fidelity data feeds.

It's not recommended to update the Fidelity EOD data after the market close on the same day. Consider scheduling the update to early AM next day. Check this out:
