## How It Works Now
### **1. Transaction Addition**
1. User adds transaction (e.g., Apple stock in USD to EUR portfolio)
### **1. Historical Transaction Addition**
1. User adds transaction (e.g., Apple stock in USD to EUR portfolio on 2024-01-15)
2. System detects USD currency from Yahoo Finance
3. Fetches USD/EUR exchange rate from API
4. Caches rate for 1 hour
5. Displays both original (USD) and converted (EUR) amounts
3. Fetches historical USD/EUR exchange rate for 2024-01-15 from API
4. Falls back to current rate if historical rate unavailable
5. Caches rate for 24 hours (historical) or 1 hour (current)
6. Displays both original (USD) and converted (EUR) amounts with accuracy indicator
### **2. Transaction Display**
