The success of qchartist makes that the usage of the yahoo finance data source requests exceeds the maximum curl requests allowed by yahoo finance api.
This problem appears because i did not set a custom user agent for curl.
This problem will be fixed in the build 312 ; in the menu tools > settings you will be able to change the user agent for curl with an appropriate text box
Then when you get a chart from the data source using yahoo finance, it will work again.]]> max 100 requests per hour seems to be allowed from the yahoo api server side

Possible workaround : use python Selenium WebDriver to get the web page but its complicate to make it portable and to use it successfully with WineHQ (wine has only internet explorer by default and it bugs with the window handle)

For the momebt i am still looking for a portable headless browser that is compatible with WineHQ, this would rescue the watchlist functionality.

Tiingo Crypto still works with the watchlist free but is limited to 50 tickers max in the list which is not very satisfactory.

I am currently trying to find leads for a functional and non limited free watchlist.


Alternatively for the moment you can use a watchlist outside qchartist software, for example:
- open the yahoo watchlist url in your web browser https://finance.yahoo.com/quotes/GC=F,CL=F/view/v1 and change the url with your tickers
- use your broker's integrated watchlist
- coinmarketcap
- tradingview
 etc. many alternate solutions are possible

Sorry for the inconveignance.

Time and work will tell if a solution is possible for a usable integrated watchlist in qchartist. I work on that.]]> Thus the watchlist free is no longer functional with Yahoo for the moment.
