: : Mark,
: : I am setting up a portfolio with CAD as the default currency. However, it seems I have trouble retrieving historical rates for non USD cross rates. I tried GBPCAD=X for Yahoo historical and /GBPCAD for MSN historical. Both will give the current quote but not historical.

: : What am I doing wrong?

: Hi Martin,

: Unfortunately Yahoo (Historical) doesn't offer historical exchange rate quotes. You can only get the current quote using Yahoo. I suspect the same is true of MSN historical, although I haven't verified that. I'm not aware of a source for this historical data.

Mark,
So that you know, you can get historical on MSN for USD cross rates.
Cheers,
Martin
