What IB base account currency to use for RoboRay?

Since RoboRay would be trading on US Stocks, the currency in effect for the transaction will be USD. There are 2 options to make this work:

1. Using USD base currency. Any account type (CASH or MARGIN) should work. 

2. Using non-USD base currency. Only works with account type MARGIN, since forex conversion would not be possible in account type CASH.

Attempt to link non-USD account type CASH to RoboRay will result in "Order Rejected, Setttled Cash: 0". Refer to the following article on how to convert account type CASH to MARGIN:
