Forex, Funds, Indexes, Commodities

Forex Market
Foreign Exchange (Forex) is by far the largest market in the world, in terms of cash value traded, and includes trading between large banks, central banks, currency speculators, multinational corporations, governments, and other financial markets, institutions and entities. Forex traders simultaneously buy one currency and sell another and currencies are always priced and traded in pairs. There is no central physical exchange where Forex transactions occur since currency trading is freely carried out between counterparties, in person, by phone or online.

Current Forex Rates
Our Forex rates are based on current average interbank trading activity. Each instrument has bid price (for you to sell), offer price (for you to buy), last price (average of bid and offer), change from daily open price, highest and lowest daily prices and price update time-stamp.


Funds Market
Investment funds are offered by various institutions, investment banks, financial firms and other entities, and fund shares are purchased and sold through centralized exchanges or in direct retail sale. Funds are often structured to target specific geographic regions, specific industries or investment styles. Fund investors are typically advised to hold their shares for at least one year to offset initial charges and potential drawdowns in fund share prices. Funds are considered long-term investments and are normally not associated with speculative and day-trading.

Current Fund Rates
Our Fund rates are based on Fund pricing models (e.g. net asset value, preset percentage). Each instrument has bid price (for you to sell), ask price (for you to buy), last price (average of bid and ask), change from daily open price, annual yield (profit in the last 365 days), price update time-stamp and currency the prices are quoted in.

Market Indexes
Market index is a representation of value of a set of securities that constitute certain market sector or industry, have similar market capitalization, or are listed on the same exchange. Indexes often serve as barometers against which financial or economic performance is measured. Various methods are utilized to determine index values, some of them favoring market capitalization, others market share or price of a security. Major international market indexes are commonly published in media as indicators of economic trends in various parts of the world.

Current Index Rates
Our Index rates are based on current index values provided by various exchanges and financial institutions. Each instrument has bid price (for you to sell), ask price (for you to buy), last price (average of bid and ask), change from daily open price, highest and lowest daily prices and price update time-stamp.

Commodities Market
Commodities are basic resources and raw or primary products such as metals, energy and agricultural products. These resources and products are traded on commodities exchanges and over-the-counter markets, in which they are bought and sold in standardized contracts. Open auction, which involved traders meeting face-to-face in trading pits, was the primary method of trading before introduction of today prevalent electronic trading systems. Participants in commodities trading range from farming cooperatives hedging against a poor harvest to oil companies and market speculators.

Current Commodity Rates
Our Commodity rates are based on current prices quoted on largest commodity exchanges. Each instrument has bid price (for you to sell), ask price (for you to buy), last price (average of bid and ask), change from daily open price, highest and lowest daily prices, price update time-stamp and currency the prices are quoted in.
