I’m tyring to track some money I have on different currencies, and follow the gains I have and whatnot. For that, I added an exchange rate to the securities and I’m using Yahoo finance to get the quotes.
I can see the history, and buy currency to track the results. But the numbers look very weird, it seems is doing a double conversion, so I guess I’m doing it wrong. Is there a better way to do this?
That’s generally a bad idea. For the usual currencies, you should simply rely on the ECB reference rates that are fetched automatically. (Since you already added a manual exchange rate, you should delete it.)
To track money, the proper way is to use deposit accounts. You add one (or multiple) in the relevant currency and use the normal functions to move money (deposit, withdrawal, transfer).
