How to Change Currency in TradingView Charts
Changing a chart's display currency, selecting a different quoted instrument and changing a Paper Trading account's currency are three different operations. Choose the one that matches your purpose before changing settings.
Convert a Supported Chart
For supported symbols, use the currency control at the top of the price scale and select an available currency. TradingView's conversion instructions explain that the chart and indicators are recalculated. Not every symbol supports conversion.
A converted chart has limitations: you cannot create new alerts or place orders on it, and Bar Replay is unavailable in converted-currency mode. Existing alerts and orders in the original currency remain separate. Return to the original denomination when configuring those operations.
Do not assume that today's FX rate is applied uniformly to every historical bar; that claim is not established by the cited guide. For a calculation requiring a specific conversion methodology, inspect the underlying data and documentation rather than inferring it from the display.
Distinguish a Converted Display From a Trading Pair
Selecting a genuine BTC/AUD market is different from converting a BTC/USD chart to AUD. The former is a separately quoted instrument on a specified venue; the latter is a display conversion. Liquidity, history and provider can differ.
Use the full exchange-qualified symbol and check its quote currency. A currency pair example does not mean every stock has a separately tradable listing in every requested denomination.
Change Paper Trading Account Currency
TradingView documents two routes: create a new Paper Trading account with an available currency, or reset an existing account and select a currency. See the account-currency guide.
Resetting deletes transaction history, active orders and open positions. Save any needed records before choosing that route, or create a separate account if you want to retain the old practice history. Choose from the actual menu; this guide does not promise every ISO currency or cryptocurrency.
On Mobile
Inspect the controls available for your symbol in the current app version. If the conversion control is missing, confirm symbol support and consult current help or the web chart. Do not use an assumed tap sequence to conclude that a feature is broken.
Does chart conversion change my broker account currency?
No. Chart display, quoted instrument and account denomination are separate settings.
Can I create an alert on the converted chart?
TradingView documents restrictions on new alerts and orders in converted-currency mode. Use the original denomination for those actions.
Will resetting Paper Trading preserve my trades?
No. The documented reset removes transaction history, active orders and open positions. Preserve records first if you need them.
