How do I convert currency using the IBKR Mobile Order Ticket?

To create a currency order using the mobile Order Ticket:

  1. Tap the More menu in the top left corner and then tap Order Ticket
  2. Search for the first currency of the pair you want to trade (e.g. EUR) and select Forex under the IDEALPRO section
  3. Select the currency pair from the list (e.g. EUR.USD)
  4. Tap on the action button (Buy/Sell), which will be for the first currency in the pair. For example, if you would like to be long EUR 500 you would place a trade to Buy 500 EUR.USD
  5. Enter the order quantity, which by default is in terms of units of the first currency of the pair
  6. Configure your trade as you wish and transmit the order when ready.

Please Note

  • Only one symbol is available for each currency pair, for ex. EUR.USD is available but not USD.EUR.
  • Residual cash balances in non-base currencies are converted automatically into your base currency within two working days at no cost to clients.

Alternatively, click on the Trade menu followed by Convert Currency to establish a cash position or trade foreign products. See additional details below.
