Dealing Rates Window

The Dealing Rates window, shown on the right, is used to track  currency pairs' prices and to buy or sell them.

The first column in the Dealing Rates window which shows a list of the currency pairs (insturments) you can trade. Next to the pairs are the current prices for the Bid (sell price) and Ask (buy price). These values are determined by market dynamics and are constantly changing. As soon as the smallest movement of prices for that currency pair in the market has occurred, the Bid and Ask prices will change. The corresponding cell will reflect this change by changing to either blue or red.

Dealing Rates Options

To buy or sell a pair you would right click on either the instument, the bid or ask cells for a particular pair. You will see a menu of options where you can buy or sell the currency, place entry orders, or set price alerts. 

We’ll cover opening positions, along with 1-Click Orders, in more detail later.

You can also choose to enter the Dealing Rates window properties from this menu. There, you can adjust the look and feel of this window in many ways.
