Change Currencies

Content on this page:

Some fields are locked when there is an existing position on the security. This is because a change would impact the existing position. These fields include Asset Currency, Investment Type, Processing Security Type, Quantity Type, Price Multiplier, and Quantity Scale. Other fields are locked so they cannot be changed. See the About Locked Security Master Record Fields page for more information.

If you need to change a security master record, Eagle recommends canceling the security, making changes to the security master record, and rebooking the security.
