Rate list and rate panel

The rate list and rate panel show different views of the current OANDA buy/sell rates for currency pairs supported by the OANDA 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 are not currently viewing in the graph.

View the rate list and rate panel by clicking on their respective tabs.

The first rate displayed is the bid (sell) rate. The second rate is the ask (buy) rate.

Most currency pair rates use five decimal places, with the fourth decimal place acting as the "pip" and the fifth decimal place acting as the "pipette." Some pairs use three decimal places (for example, XAU/USD, or those with a rate currency of JPY, THB, or HUF). In this case, the pip is the second decimal place and the pipette is the third decimal place.
