At FXTRADING.com, we understand that managing your trading accounts effectively is crucial for your success. One common question we receive is about changing the base currency of existing trading accounts. Let's explore this topic and provide some helpful solutions.
​
Can I change the base currency of my existing trading account?
​
Unfortunately, it's not possible to change the base currency of an existing trading account due to trading logic constraints. However, we offer several alternatives to help you trade in your preferred currency.
​
What's the recommended solution for trading in a different currency?
​
We recommend creating a new account with your desired base currency through our Client Portal (https://fxtrading.com/en/trading-platform/) . Once set up, you can deposit funds into this new account and begin trading.
​
Is it possible to transfer funds between accounts with different currencies?
​
Yes, you can request a transfer of funds from one currency account to another, such as from a USD account to a GBP account. However, please note that this process involves currency conversion.
​
Are there fees for transferring funds between accounts with different currencies?
​
Yes, an exchange rate conversion fee applies when converting from one currency to another.
​
How is the exchange rate determined for currency conversions?
​
The exchange rate used is the one in effect on the day of the conversion. This rate may differ from bank foreign exchange rates during the same period.
​
What if I want to avoid potential losses due to exchange rate conversion?
​
If you're concerned about potential losses from exchange rate fluctuations, we suggest withdrawing all funds from your existing account and making a new deposit directly into an account with your desired base currency.
