Hello, I have a share trading account. I recently put a sum of money into this account.
I want to convert the money into US dollars. I know that when i go to my "live accounts" I will find an overview of my share trading account and it has a line-item in the overview called "currency conversion". I click on this and there is a page called Currency Conversion where you can select either Manual or Instant currency conversion. I want to manually convert my currency to US dollars when it's more favourable conversion-wise, not necessarily when I buy a shares. This page doesn't really explain how I can do that. It just allows you to choose between Manual or Instant conversion.

Does anyone know how I can do this?
