Hi,
I found historical rates for different currencies on
www.oanda.com/convert/fxhistory

Try it,

Succes, Jan

: : : 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.
