This guide will provide you with an explanation and examples of how to add a currency selector to your trading platform widget.
*guide technical level : developers only.

In order to add a curency to your trading platfrom you will have to use a url parameter named "currency".
when calling the trading platform widget (iframe) on your content site trading page all you have to do is include this parameter in the iframe url

Lets take the "Tradesmarter" brand trading platfrom as an example,
your iframe url is: http://trading.tradesmarter.com

In order to change the platform currency you will have to include the "currency" parameter,
so for USD currency you will have to change the iframe sourcce to:
http://trading.tradesmarter.com?currency=1
this will load the trading platfrom with USD currency.

Creating a dynamic currency selector:

First you will have to create an html "select" input like so:

<select>
<option value="?currency=1">USD</option>
<option value="?currency=2">EUR</option>
<option value="?currency=3">AUD</option>
<option value="?currency=4">CNY</option>
<option value="?currency=5">GBP</option>
<option value="?currency=6">JPY</option>
<option value="?currency=7">RUB</option>
</select>

Later you will have to:

1. add a script that will detect a change event on the select input

2. get the selected value from the select input

3. change the trading platfrom iframe url and add the relevant curency parameter

Overall your Trading platform source code should look somthing like that:

<div id="curency-selector">
<select>
<option value="?currency=1">USD</option>
<option value="?currency=2">EUR</option>
<option value="?currency=3">AUD</option>
<option value="?currency=4">CNY</option>
<option value="?currency=5">GBP</option>
<option value="?currency=6">JPY</option>
<option value="?currency=7">RUB</option>
</select>
</div>

<script>
                (function($) {
                    $(document).ready(function() {
                        var TsPlatfrom = $("#trading-platfrom");
                        var baseSrc = TsPlatfrom.attr("src");
                        var CurencySelector = $("#curency-selector");
                     
                        $(document).on('change', CurencySelector, function() {
                            var selectedCurreny = CurencySelector.find('option:selected').val();
                            TsPlatfrom.attr("src", baseSrc + selectedCurreny);

                        });

                    });

                })(jQuery);
            </script>

<iframe id="trading-platfrom" onload="scrollTo(0,2);" src="http://trading.tradesmarter.com/en" id="iframe" width="100%" height="1900" style="border: none;" scrolling="no"></iframe>
