Full EUR / USD quotation: 1,203 means: 1 000 euros is worth 1203 US dollars. Quotations expressing the value of the currency in US dollars are called direct. The expression of the value of the US dollar in another currency is called the reverse quote, one of the common examples of USD / CAD. A cross-rate is called a quotation devoid of the expression of the value of the currency in the US dollar. Quotes have 2 prices: Ask, or sell, and Bid, purchasing. The difference between them, the spread, the net profit of the dealer. When buying currency (By), the transaction opens at the Bid price and closes when Ask reaches. The deal for sale is opened at Ask price and is closed by Bid.
