Display in USD?

[Guest stevencr00k]

Hey,

 

I'm in Australia and I'm looking at getting the platform to display charts etc in USD to match up with triggers I have signed up to receive. Is it possible to have the platform display in USD?

 

Regards,

Hi , thanks for the post and welcome!

 

Which market charts are you looking at exactly?  You can change the base currency of your trading account to be USD, but not how the underlying market is priced.  So for example, if you are looking at the ASX, this will always be quoted in AUD, but currency pairs will be quoted in the second named currency (eg AUD/USD is quoted in USD).

 

If you can specify what you are looking to do then we can see if we can help!

 

Thanks,

Hannah

Hi , thanks for your post.

 

If you'd like to change the base currency of your account, you'll just need to contact our helpdesk.  They'll confirm you don't have any open positions and that if you have a balance, you're happy for it to be converted at the spot rate plus 0.3%.

 

Thank you,

 

Hannah
