Does the CSCO price retrieval work in GnuCash?
I created a CHFEUR=X security, set it to retrieve quotes from Alphavantage, and
successfully retrieved the price in GnuCash.
Note, however, that it’s not a meaningful value: CHFEUR=X retrieves the price
in EUR of 1CHF, but Finance::Quote treats it as USD because Alphavantage
doesn’t tell it otherwise.
