The iOS application’s home screen is divided into three sections:

1. FX Board
The FX Board contains a rate feed of user-defined currency pairs. The information displayed for each currency pair includes bid/offer rate, spread, intraday change (displayed in pips or percentage), and last updated time. Tapping on a bid or offer price opens the order entry panel to allow the user to place an order.

2. Full Book
The Full Book aggregated view displays prices from up to 5 liquidity providers and the respective liquidity available. You’ll see price at size and all available liquidity at that price. It also displays the spread for each currency pair, the intraday change, and the last updated time. Tapping on the top of the book bid or offer price opens the order entry panel to allow the user to place an order.

3. Order Entry Panel
The order entry panel is opened by tapping a bid or offer price. You can then choose the order type and select buy or sell. Depending on the order type that you choose, the following order attributes become active:
