Tap on the different category tabs or the Favorites tab to find the relevant instruments. You can also use the magnifying glass icon to search for a specific instrument using the exact text.

   

   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 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. To help you see a daily change, there are daily % and pips changes displayed in green/red under each currency pair. When there’s movement in the exchange rate for a currency pair, the up/down (green/red) indicators show you the change direction. These indicators help you track the currency pairs you aren’t currently viewing on the graph.
