: Mark,
: is there any way you can track currence exchanges and download the daily changes to a chart. for example I would like to trend $ vs LB or $ vs Yen, or $ vs Assi $.

Hi Jim,

Yes, you can track the exchange rates as their own investments. Yahoo has most of these. See:

http://finance.yahoo.com/currency

Also, if you track investments in multiple currencies we have a tutorial on how to do this in FM here:

Yahoo only offers current quotes on the exchange rates, but historical exchange rate quotes can be downloaded and imported from OANDA (save using the CSV format and generic price import with the format string MM/DD/YY,NAV).

Thanks,
Mark
