Configuration for Multi Currency


LFM

Recommended Posts

I trade mostly on UK and US markets - I am in UK.

My base currency is GBP and I wish to use multi-currency on the platform  GBP  and USD

I have changed the Currency Conversion option to Manual,  but when I did a test transfer in to the account of USD,  the account did not display two fund pools, only the GBP and it looks like it did a automatic currency transfer.  The transfer history shows USD did arrive at the platform.

How do I get the platform to display and manage the two currencies?    Objective US trades draw from USD pool and other trades from base currency (GBP) pool

I can't see instructions on the site and chat has not helped

Following this as the topic is still very relevant.  I can see that ii and IBKR have either currency accounts or equivalent currency wallets which reduce the cost of back & forth.

Hi @Augustin1978,

Thank you for your post.

Please note that a way around this is to go to My IG > Live accounts > Currency conversion. There is an 'Account Balances' section.

All the best!
