Exchange rate for non-USD fiat is based on UTC and not tax optimized

Users may experience:
- As a user, I am not US based. I have set my account currency to my respective region. I expect that when I import my portfolio into CoinTracker to calculate my taxes that the exchange rates in my calculations respect the time zone I am in.
- Currently CoinTracker fetches our exchange rate for the date MM/DD/YYYY + X:XX UTC. This means that users in regions with earlier timezones may be fetching outdated or non-ideal rates for their respective markets.
- As an example, if CoinTracker fetches exchange rates for 09/28/2023 07:30UTC and a user is located in New Zealand, the timestamp in that region would be 09/28/2023 19:30 NZST.
- The exchange rates that CoinTracker users are fixed meaning we use the same rate for the entire day. As a user, I would expect these rates to be optimized or dynamic to account for the shifting fiat rates.
As a user, what should I do?
- This report is being submitted as a bug to represent exchange rate optimization. Please see add an upvote to this feature request to support custom exchange rates.
