Summary: Selecting "Use different currency" for cash deposits does not allow for transaction FX spread.

Context:

My base currency is non-USD (non-US home market), but I trade in USD.
I convert cash from my home currency to USD to make these trades.
My brokerage applies an unknown spread to this currency conversion trade.
To properly track returns, I need to take this spread into account.

Problem:

When adding a cash deposit activity, I have 1 of 2 options:
- Deposit in non-USD: BUY exchange rate calculations are calculated dynamically. This does not accurately reflect the actual conversion activity.
- Deposit in USD: I cannot specify an associated base currency amount. This means currency spread is not reflected.

Request:

Add transaction-specific base currency exchange rates for cash activities, OR allow adding a base currency amount for cash activities.
Note that I am not sure of any dependencies this would have on book cost, net deposit, or other calculations.
