Currency Preference
Your base currency is always the one that you already have chosen with your broker. Once it’s set, any deposit you make from anywhere in the world will be converted to the account’s default currency.
For example, you live in UAE, your account’s default currency is USD. When you deposit any dirhams from your desired payment method, you get a converted amount of USD. Keep in mind that the current conversion rate on currencies is applied while depositing. So checking the conversion rate from your local currency to the account’s currency before making a deposit may be a good idea.
One thing to note is ZuluTrade supports specific base currencies for each currency. Here is a list of the brokers, minimum deposits required, trading platforms, and supported base currencies:[1]
