- Fractional pricing—in one-tenth of a pip
Rakuten Securities HK has access to actual tradable prices directly from multiple liquidity providers, which are based on real bids and offers currently available. The system is designed to show you the best available price to buy and sell currently available to Rakuten Securities HK from the multiple liquidity providers that feed prices into the Trading Station. Having multiple prices provided to Rakuten Securities HK by several of the world’s largest financial institutions means that you will see very tight, variable spreads, with precision down to as much as 1/1000th of a cent.
Many institutions in the forex market quote prices down to 1/100th of a cent in the euro/U.S. dollar currency pair. 1/100th of a cent is called a “pip”; therefore, a change in the price of a euro from $1.1263 to $1.1264 is a change of one pip.
Rakuten Securities HK actually shows prices with an even greater degree of precision, down to 1/10th of a pip (which is 1/1000th of a cent). Forex prices are always quoted in pairs, such as the euro to the U.S. dollar (abbreviated EUR/USD). The price shown in the dealing rates box to the right defines how much of the second currency one unit of the first currency is worth. For example, a EUR/USD buy price of 1.12630 means that it takes $1 and 12.630 cents to buy one euro.
