Dealing Rates

The Dealing Rates window is a versatile window that allows the trader to pick his favorite instruments. The current default window features six different instruments, although the trader has the ability to increase or decrease the number and types of instrument displayed. The trader can also detach the window in order to view the rates on any window or computer page that he has open, independent of the AvaTrader forex trading platform.

The main function of this window is to carry out trades. By right clicking the instrument "Bid" or "Ask", the trader is able to choose between a "market", "limit" or "stop" order. The trader selects the amount he wishes to trade and clicks the "ok" button to execute the trade.
