Where do exchange rates come from, and can I change them?

Where to find it: RATES/YIELDS and CURRENCIES

MRA obtains current currency exchange rates from the European Central Bank. They are used to express foreign-currency holdings and cash flows in Canadian dollars. A foreign pension’s currency is selected on the income entry; a holding’s currency is selected on its investment entry.

Open RATES/YIELDS and CURRENCIES to review the currency rates. Use Edit on the relevant rate to set your own assumption. Changing its start date to a future date adds a rate for that future period.

For example, a USD holding remains entered in USD, while the account summary shows its converted Canadian value.
