Is it possible to have Live currency rates updates to be scheduled (eg. cron job) so lets say its triggered every day at 7:00 in the morning or any other custom value?
I did not see any mention of this in user manual...

That would be a great function to have as the rates change so frequently

It's not at present. Updating currencies automatically is something we've considered though it would need some work to get that working.
The biggest worry we had was updating rates with no manual approval process. It just seems a bit risky if something goes wrong. I'm thinking maybe instead we could set a time limit, and it would nag you to update rates in the task list if the period has passed.
The ECB feed does seem pretty reliable though - in the past the requests came into our server, so the manual process was one way of helping limit requests, but I am pretty sure the ECB could keep up with the load.

i know that on other scripts that i'm using, there is one cron job (WHMCS) that is triggered one time a day at specific time. in my case 7:00 in the morning that triggers first currency updates, checks if there is some invoice to be created, accounts suspended or unsuspended etc... all with one cron job...
