The base currency is the currency in which a trading account's balance, equity, margin and profit or loss are displayed. The currencies available are shown when you create the account.
Why does the base currency matter?
A conversion may apply when:
you deposit in a different currency;
you withdraw to a payout method using a different currency;
you transfer between accounts or wallets with different base currencies; or
an instrument's profit, loss, fee or financing amount is converted into the account currency.
The transaction preview should show the available conversion information before you confirm a deposit, withdrawal or transfer.
Select a currency
Sign in to the FXTRADING.com Client Portal.
Start the trading-account creation flow.
Select the platform and account type.
Choose from the base currencies displayed.
Review the selection before creating the account.
The base currency normally cannot be changed after the account is created through self-service. If you need another currency, create a new eligible account using the required base currency.
Can I hold accounts in different currencies?
If the Client Portal allows another account to be created, you can select one of the currencies offered for that account. Availability and account limits can depend on the profile, platform and account type.
When should I contact FXTRADING.com?
Contact FXTRADING.com if the required currency is not displayed, a conversion is unclear, or the preview does not show enough information to understand the expected credit or payout.
Provide the source currency, destination currency, account or wallet reference and a redacted screenshot of the preview. Never provide a password or one-time code.
