Currency setup

 

Before you can use the FX Spots Window, you need to add the currency pairs you want to follow. The currency setup can be accessed by clicking the "+" sign in the spot grid or by clicking the wrench icon in the top left corner followed by "Edit currency pairs".

 

There are two ways to add a new cross rate to the grid: By typing in the cross in the top left field or by click on the available currencies in the window. Typing in a cross and pressing "enter" or "add" will move that cross to the "Selected currencies list". Typing in an unavailable cross the field will turn red and adding it in incorrect order will make the field yellow. When selecting a cross by using the mouse unavailable crosses will go from bold to normal.
