Overview

Your Euro Pacific Trader “base currency” refers to the currency in which your account is denominated in, in terms of reports, statements, and accounting.

In other words, it’s the currency in which you view your entire account, which can be composed of international securities in different currencies. The Base Currency is also the currency used for determining margin requirements.

Please note that having a Base Currency does not mean you cannot hold other currencies. Please read our article Do I need sub-accounts in different currencies? to learn how Euro Pacific Trader’s single multi-currency account works.
