Seraf automatically updates daily exchange rates and tracks historical rates, but you can also add your own foreign exchange rate as of a specific date, to be as precise as needed in your calculations. There are two ways to add a new foreign exchange, as noted below.
To add a new exchange rate for a currency in your account:
- Add a new transaction and enter the exchange rate directly into the FX Rate field. This will override the default entry and create a new FX record for that date.
Or, you can also add an exchange rate to better reflect the value of your holdings at a specific date in time.
- Navigate to the FX Rates tab of Portfolio Management.
- Enter the Date.
- Choose the Currency.
- Enter the Rate. Per unit of your default currency.
- Click the button for Set FX Rate to save your entry.
- Update Calculations to have the new exchange rate take effect throughout your portfolio.
Notes:
- The foreign exchange rate you set will override the system exchange rate for the specified date and will update any rate you have previously entered for this date.
- All holdings in the currency for which a rate is recorded will be updated to reflect the rate as of that date.
- A rate will not take effect until the associated date occurs.
- To delete an exchange rate, click the trash can icon to the right of your entry.
