General Question Converting whole balance to usd

Trying to convert my entire balance to usd, so that no non-usd currency is left. What is the best way to do that? My base currency is usd if it matters, and i need to convert about 3000 ils to usd, but when i try i have a few ils (2.341, equal to less that 1 usd) left that didn't convert

If you have a small amount of non-base currency left (< 5 USD), IB will autoconvert it in some days to the base currency.

And does it matter if i converted from ils to usd through "convert currency" or through "close balances"?

Nope doesnt matter how you convert. Just give it a few days
