Each element of the list has a distinct currency. Some brokerages like Questrade [allows holding multiple currencies in the same account](https://www.questrade.com/learning/questrade-basics/balances-and-reports/understanding-your-account-balances). Check your API key on the [Customer Dashboard billing page](https://dashboard.snaptrade.com/settings/billing) to see if you have real-time data access: - If you do, this endpoint returns real-time data. - If you don't, Daily data is cached and refreshed once a day. Exact refresh timing may vary by brokerage. If you need real-time, use the [manual refresh](/reference/Connections/Connections_refreshBrokerageAuthorization) endpoint. If the connection has become disabled, it can no longer access the latest data from the brokerage, but will continue to return the last available cached state. Please see [this guide](/docs/fix-broken-connections) on how to fix a disabled connection.
