What is the base currency for my account?

The base currency is the main currency used to display account values, reports, balances and performance figures. It is also used for certain account calculations, including margin-related calculations. The base currency does not necessarily limit the currencies you can hold, deposit, withdraw or trade in, where supported.
You can confirm your account base currency from Client Portal by logging in, clicking the User menu in the top-right corner and selecting Settings. Then go to Account Reporting and select Base Currency. The current base currency will be shown on that page..
