Hi All,
For anyone who resides outside the USA, funds deposited into their trading account will not be in USD. Within interactive brokers there exists an option to “Convert All to Base Currency”. I am wondering if that same option exists or can be easily implemented within the Lean Engine.
Currently, I am sending Non-USD into my account each month, then manually converting them to USD in order to trade US markets with QC and IB. I am wondering if I can have my QC algorithm handle this process for me whenever it observes NON USD currency within the account?
Many Thanks!

Hi Mark Reeve,
If we are trading the US equities, we do not need to worry about changing the currency to USD; Lean takes care of it. Refer to the following thread for more information.
Best,
