Converting Account Currency

[Master.Aurora]

Hello Support,

I would like to start by thanking you for the great support you guys are providing.

Today i have a question regarding the Currency conversion of the account cash value. My IB account is in EUR and i want to convert the cash value that i get from there to USD and then use it in my order volume calculations. Is there a direct way to go about this?

I tried using this:

Account.GetAccountValue(AccountItem.CashValue, Currency.UsDollar).Value;

But it doesn't work. Do i need to write custom code to convert the cash value based on the current FOREX value for the pair EURUSD?

Please advise.

Thanks

Is there a way to find out the account base currency?
