Home, Positions, Compliance and Watchlists each show a freshness label, a tag that says how old the page’s prices are. The label reads the age of the price, with one exception: Market closed also reads whether the US market is shut.

Reading the label

Market closed appears only when every symbol on the page follows the US session. A page with a crypto or forex pair, which trades outside stock market hours, reads Stale once its price is 15 minutes old. A price written before the last close also reads Stale. The app shows the age beside the other labels, such as “3m ago”. When a page summarizes several symbols, the oldest price sets the label, so one stale holding makes the whole view read Stale.

When prices aren’t available

If Allocait can’t get a fresher quote, the app keeps showing the last one it has and lets it age from Latest quote to Delayed to Stale. It doesn’t invent a price. Adding a symbol while prices are unavailable can fail with “Price temporarily unavailable. Try again shortly.” Wait a moment and add it again. If you check many symbols in quick succession, the app asks you to wait before checking more.
