Hi,

I am using the IEXCloud version. Quite nice. Would it be possible to add a per-stock currency conversion? I get most prices in US$ while my bank shows everything in EUR. Automatically get US$-EUR. And also apply to purchase prices.

Good idea, but I think it might be irritating because if you show the value in EUR it looks like it lists a European exchange while the real price in European exchanges is different.

I'm thinking about it.

New API yahoo finance also supports foreign tickers. So it makes more sense to use a European exchange if you want EUR prices instead of converting the US stock price. Closing this for now
