# Data Isn't Loading or Updating

> Fix issues with stock data, prices, or portfolio not loading or updating in Rallies.ai. Troubleshooting steps for stale data and sync problems.

# Data Isn't Loading or Updating

If stock prices, portfolio data, or other information seems stuck or won't load, this guide will help you troubleshoot and fix the issue.

## Quick Fixes

Try these first—they resolve most data loading issues:

### 1. Refresh the Page/App

**On Web:**

* Press `Ctrl + R` (Windows) or `Cmd + R` (Mac)
* Or click the browser refresh button

**On Mobile:**

* Pull down on the screen to refresh
* Or close and reopen the app

### 2. Check Your Internet Connection

* Try loading another website or app
* If other sites work, the issue is specific to Rallies
* Try switching from WiFi to mobile data (or vice versa)

### 3. Wait a Moment

* Brief data delays can occur during high market activity
* Wait 30 seconds and refresh again
* If markets just opened, initial data may take a moment

## Specific Data Issues

### Prices Not Updating

**If prices seem frozen:**

1. **Check market hours**
   * US markets: 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET, Mon-Fri
   * Prices don't change when markets are closed
   * After-hours prices may not display on all views

2. **Check your plan**
   * **Free:** 15-minute delayed quotes
   * **Pro:** Real-time quotes
   * If on Free, prices update every 15 minutes, not in real-time

3. **Look at the timestamp**
   * Check when data was last updated
   * If timestamp is old, try refreshing

4. **Clear cache and refresh**
   * Web: `Ctrl + Shift + R` (Windows) or `Cmd + Shift + R` (Mac)
   * Mobile: Close app fully and reopen

### Portfolio Not Syncing

**If connected portfolio data is outdated:**

1. **Force a manual sync**
   * Go to Portfolio
   * Click/tap the refresh or "Sync" button
   * Wait for sync to complete

2. **Check connection status**
   * Go to Settings → Connected Accounts
   * Verify your brokerage shows as "Connected"
   * If disconnected, reconnect your brokerage

3. **Understand sync timing**
   * Portfolios sync multiple times per day but not instantly
   * New trades may take hours to appear
   * Very recent activity might not show yet

4. **Reconnect if needed**
   * Disconnect and reconnect your brokerage
   * This refreshes the connection and re-syncs data

### Charts Not Loading

**If price charts show blank or won't display:**

1. **Try a different timeframe**
   * Click 1D, 1W, 1M to switch views
   * Sometimes one timeframe loads while another doesn't

2. **Disable browser extensions**
   * Ad blockers can interfere with charts
   * Try in incognito/private mode

3. **Check JavaScript**
   * Charts require JavaScript
   * Ensure it's enabled in your browser

4. **Try a different browser**
   * Some browsers render charts better than others
   * Chrome typically has best compatibility

### Watchlist Prices Stale

**If watchlist prices aren't updating:**

1. **Refresh the watchlist page**
   * Pull to refresh on mobile
   * Refresh button on web

2. **Check your plan**
   * Free tier has 15-minute delayed data
   * Prices may seem stale but are actually on delay schedule

3. **Clear app cache (mobile)**
   * iOS: Delete and reinstall app
   * Android: Settings → Apps → Rallies → Clear Cache

### Financial Data Seems Wrong

**If financial statements or metrics look incorrect:**

1. **Check the data date**
   * Financials update quarterly
   * Look for "as of" date to see which period is shown

2. **Verify the source**
   * Compare with official filings if concerned
   * SEC EDGAR has official company filings

3. **Report the issue**
   * If data is genuinely incorrect, [contact support](/support/contact)
   * Include the ticker, data point, and what you believe is wrong

### News Not Loading

**If news section is empty or outdated:**

1. **Refresh the page**
   * News feeds can have brief delays

2. **Check the company**
   * Smaller companies may have less news coverage
   * Not all stocks have frequent news

3. **Check your connection**
   * News requires a stable internet connection

## App-Specific Fixes

### Web Browser

**Clear cache:**

1. Press `Ctrl + Shift + Delete` (Windows) or `Cmd + Shift + Delete` (Mac)
2. Select "Cached images and files"
3. Clear and refresh Rallies

**Try incognito mode:**

1. Open incognito/private window
2. Go to rallies.ai and sign in
3. If it works, a browser extension is likely the issue

### iOS App

**Force close and reopen:**

1. Swipe up from bottom, pause on app switcher
2. Swipe Rallies away to close
3. Reopen from home screen

**Clear cache:**

1. Delete the Rallies app
2. Reinstall from App Store
3. Sign back in (your data is saved in the cloud)

### Android App

**Clear app cache:**

1. Go to Settings → Apps → Rallies
2. Tap Storage → Clear Cache
3. Reopen the app

**Force stop:**

1. Settings → Apps → Rallies
2. Tap Force Stop
3. Reopen the app

## When Data Issues Are Expected

Sometimes "missing" data is actually normal:

### Outside Market Hours

* Stock prices don't change when markets are closed
* Weekend prices show Friday's close
* After-hours/pre-market data may be limited

### 15-Minute Delay (Free Tier)

* If you're on Free, data is delayed by 15 minutes
* This is not a bug—it's the free tier data policy
* Upgrade to Pro for real-time data

### Newly Added Stocks

* If you just added a stock, give it a moment to load data
* Some data (like financials) may take longer to populate

### Recent IPOs

* Very new public companies may have limited data
* Historical financials build up over time

### International Stocks

* Coverage varies by market
* Some data may be less comprehensive than US stocks

If many features aren't working:

1. Visit our [status page](https://status.rallies.ai) (if available)
2. Check [@RalliesAI on Twitter](https://twitter.com/RalliesAI) for announcements
3. If there's an outage, we're working on it

## Still Having Issues?

If none of the above helps:

**Contact support with:**

* When the issue started
* Screenshots if possible
* What you've already tried

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Why are prices different from my brokerage?

* Free tier has 15-minute delay
* Different data providers can have slight variations
* After-hours prices may display differently

### How often does portfolio data sync?

Multiple times per day, but not in real-time. For immediate accuracy, check your actual brokerage app.

### Why does financial data still show last quarter?
