What Are The Quote List and Quote Panel?
The Quote List and Quote Panel show different views of the current OANDA buy/sell rates for
currency pairs supported by the fxTrade Platform. These rates are updated in real time.
When there is movement in the exchange rate for a currency pair, the up/down (green/red)
indicators alert you to the direction of change. These indicators help you track the currency pairs
you're not currently viewing in the graph.
View the Quote List and Quote Panel by clicking on their respective tabs:

How Rates Are Shown in the Quote List and Quote Panel
The first rate displayed is the bid (sell) rate (the rate at which you would sell the base currency
and buy the quote currency). The second rate is the ask (buy) rate (the rate you would buy the
base currency and sell the quoted currency). For more information on bid and ask rates, refer to
the currency trading conventions page of the fxTrade web site tutorial.
Most currency pair quotes use five decimal places, with the fourth decimal place the "pip" and the
fifth decimal place the "pipette." Some pairs use three decimal places (for example, XAU/USD or
those with a quote currency of JPY, THB, or HUF). In this case, the pip is the second decimal
place and the pipette is the third decimal place.
