I have some bitcoins in an exchange and I found today that, without any transactions being made, the quantity has gone down.

I have contacted the exchange who have said:

Quote
the balance varies according to the prices that are floating

Is this correct? In my view the quantity of bitcoins I have should not fluctuate, only the value of said coins. Or am I missing something?

Any explanations would be great!

If you have deposited in USD or any other currency but not in BTC then it looks reasonable that you balance in BTC is fluctuating. But if your balance was in BTC from the beginning then there should be no fluctuations, 1 BTC is always 1 BTC.
