Q：Can Tiger Account hold funds in multiple currencies at the same time?
Yes.
Q：After making a deposit (not in USD), does the system automatically convert the funds into USD?
Tiger Trade APP does not do the currency exchange automatically. The base currency in Tiger is USD, so the currency displayed is USD. The client may view the actual cash amount via APP > Trade > Account > Cash. For example, if a client deposits SGD and intends to trade US stocks with Tiger, he has two options: 1. Currency Exchange: APP > Trade > Account > Cash > Exchange; 2. Trading by financing.
Q：Can I trade on margin or do I have to trade in cash?
Both are available with Tiger Brokers.
1. Margin Trading (Financing): deposit in any currency, then trade in any market by financing if your Tiger Account is a Margin Account; or
2. Cash Trading (available for both Margin Account and Cash Account):
2-1. deposit SGD, USD or HKD, then trade in corresponding market(s) using the deposited cash without financing; or
2-2. deposit SGD, USD or HKD and do the currency exchange on Tiger Trade, then trade using cash
Notes on 2-2: The settlement date of currency exchange is T+2. If you prefer that no finaning interest is incurred, you may refer to the following tips based on the rules made by Exchanges:
1) Immediately after the currency exchange, using cash to trade products of which the settlement date is T+2 (eg. US, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australian stocks) will be free of interest.
2) 1 trading day after the currency exchange, using cash to trade products of which the settlement date is T+1 (eg. China A-shares, futures, and US stock options) will be free of interest.
3) 2 trading days after the currency exchange, withdrawing the cash will be free of interest.
[You may also immediately carry out the above operations, which might incur the corresponding financing interest.]
