- Use daily open, high, low, and close data for the specified pair.
- Avoid repeating the same manual lookup across conversations.

- 2Create an automation through the portal or by telling Notis what FX lookup to perform.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve daily history only when a DM specifies both base and quote currency codes.
