Exchange Rate OHLC

[Glenn2]

I am getting my exchange rate price from Yahoo and though it works it only gives me a daily close price. Open, high, low and volume are all 0. Where can I get this information from each day?

Hi Glenn2,

The Yahoo server is only providing current exchange rate data, and only the "close". I'm not aware of another server that offers open, high, and low. I'm not sure volume would make sense for an exchange rate... If you look up the rate on Yahoo Finance and click on the "Download Data" link, you'll see what information is being provided. This is where Fund Manager is getting the quote information.

Thanks for the reply. Is there another server that provides better/more data?

Hi Glenn2,

Not that I know about... Yahoo is the one I usually recommend for exchange rates. Only the "Close" is ever utilized by Fund Manager for determining the exchange rate on a particular date.

Thanks. Just to clarify things, I was after the Open, High, Low for graphing and analysis purposes and not for use in transactions.

Hi Glenn2,

Understood, that makes sense.
