Currencies¶
Maintain the currency catalog used for trading-account currencies and display-currency conversion.
Prerequisites
- Your role grants access to the currencies page.
The currency grid¶
Open Currencies in the sidebar. Each currency is a row in an editable grid with a search box above it:
- Code — the currency's short code, such as USD. It is fixed after creation.
- Name and Description.
- Digits — the number of decimal places (0–10) used when displaying amounts.
- Sign — the display symbol, such as $.
- Type — Forex or Crypto.
- Enabled — a Yes/No badge.
Edit cells inline, then click Save to commit all changed rows together; Cancel discards pending edits.
Add a currency¶
- Click Add Currency.
- Enter the Code (it is stored upper-cased and must be unique — a duplicate is rejected with an explanation) and the Name.
- Choose the Type, and optionally set a Description, Sign, and the number of Digits (defaults to 2).
- Leave Enabled checked unless you are staging the currency for later.
- Click Create.
Note
The catalog defines the currencies themselves — codes, symbols, and precision. Conversion between currencies elsewhere in the Backoffice (for example, the display-currency selector on the trading accounts monitor) uses live market rates, not values set on this page.
