Forex not accurate

Questions about updating prices or transactions in Fund Manager

HI Mark thanks for update swissquote all good now

The problem I now have is the forex rates are quite a bit out from those for example on XE
If I use Xe I get rate USD to NZD of1.4202 yet FM is 1.5659 That makes a huge difference in the value of my portfolio
Any ideas Can I use XE ?

Hi alpappy,

Are you asking about the exchange rate between USD and NZD? What symbol/server are you using now to retrieve this? If you use Yahoo, you can use either:

NZDUSD=X
(around 0.7)

or

NZD=X
(around 1.4)

depending on which way you want to convert (which currency is your default).
Thanks,
Mark
