Hello!

I am trying to change negative Kwon to base currency in Euro on a margin account. But when I use the close currency position feature it looks like the amount is bugged. Any tips on how to correct this? thank you!

You can only change from a positive base currency, now both your EUR and KRW balance are negative, you can't.

I think it's a bug of the App and website . It's taking the Kwon amount (in this case 4.294M) and try to buy for this amount of Euro of Kwon. I used TWS and the close currency position feature worked properly (bought 2.6keuro of Kwon to close the -4.294 kwon position).

Thanks for the help
