Ok, sorry. I am running Linux Mint 18.2 with GC 2.6.21. I am still
having problems with AlphaVantage but manage to get downloads a couple
of time per week.
For the record, I have been using GC since 2008.
I setup the new stock by click new account, entered the name of the
stock and selected stock from the list and selected CAD for currency.
This took me to the Security Editor where I reentered the stock name and
its ticker symbol. I checked get stock quotes and selected AlphaVantage
for the source.
I then went back to the stock in my investments folder and entered the
date acquired, the number of shares and the price, then the amount of
the charge for the purchase, and then selected the brokerage account.
Clicked save.

Les,
It is important that you clearly define your problem when you ask for
help in this maillist.
I see that you have been trying things out with GnuCash for some time
now, but when I sampled your comments I did not find a consistent
pattern of mentioning the OS, or GnuCash version when asking about a
problem. I think that you are using release 2.6.21 installed by a
procedure called Snap, which I know nothing about, into some version
of Linux. If you are now trying to use release 3.2, there is a
completely different set of possible issues.
Further, I am confused about whether you completed the entire process
of creating a security in the security list (which is not an account,
by the way) with a proper ticker reference and security type as well
as creating a security account associated with a brokerage account and
entering an initial buy or sell transaction. While the part of
creating a security account and recording a purchase or sale is
optional, it (a)helps to have a way to see the security in your data
and (b)creates an initial price entry in the price database.
I also saw that you were having issues with setting up AlphaVantage
earlier. Did you resolve those, or is that a part of the problem you
are now having with the price editor?
Several of us are willing to help, but we need more specific details.

Previously I posted a problem where I had created a new stock
entry but it never got populated in Price Editor although it is in
Security Editor and in my list of stocks.
Since I have not received any suggestions, I attempted to "fix"
this myself but removing the account from my list of stocks and
from Security Editor. I was able to remove it from my list of
stocks, but when I attempted to remove it from Security Editor, I
was prevented from doing so.
So, I am appealing to the list for assistance with this issue. Any
suggestions greatly appreciated.
