    Alphavantage has become increasing unreliable over the years, in the Q & ER extension I would suggest using the ECB as the source for exchange rates.

    Hi adham.damen

    The other option is to try the extension Quote Loader under EXTENSIONS – MANAGE EXTENSION

    This extension provides Exchange Rates as well as Security Prices.

    For information on the features of Quote Loader and how to use https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/discussions/investments/7595-quo...

    Download the PDF’s attached to post 112 and have a read.

    To get an overview take a look at the YouTube videos by using the links on page 1 and 2 of the PDF.

    The Quick Start Video is intended to give a quick overview so the user can see if Quite loader looks like it could work for them. The Short Video expands the user’s knowledge giving more detail. The Full Video goes even further but may be too wordy for some.

    The PDF reinforces what’s leaned in the videos, provides step by step instructions, a must read and provide answers on how to handle less obvious issues some users may come across.

    Let us know how you get on or if you need help just post.

    Hope this helps.

    As Derek suggested have you tried using the Quote Loader extension instead?

    Hi adham.damen

    Using the extension Quote Loader see screen shot where a number of Exchange Rate are retrieved for a base currency of US Dollar including JOD.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi adham.damen

    Sorry, the exchange rate for ILS with a base currency of JOD is not supported.
