Earlier today an market order to sell all my HKD and convert it to USD was submitted to my IB account and I did not know why. Later I found out in the NT Log that NT submitted this order after I hit "Flatten Everything" and name of the order was "Close".
I'm not sure why NT submitted this order but my guess is that NT assumes any non-USD currency held in an account is an open position and closes it when flattening the account? My IB account's base currency is actually HKD so I end up having a open position after flattening everything.
If I am correct about why that happened, is it possible to set the base currency in NT?
Thanks in advance!
