When using the conversion
calculator it is important to remember that the exchange rate
will not be exactly the same as the one you will get from a bank
or currency exchange agent. This is because the bank or agent
will charge you commission (usually several pence per pound,
cents per dollar etc). However the calculations processed by
our converter are based on live market rates so your estimate
will be highly accurate. Don’t forget that exchange rates
are constantly changing throughout the day so you may get a slightly
different result today than you got yesterday, or even 10 minutes
ago!

Free Forex Charts
Live Forex Charts
Free Forex Charts are designed to take your
currency monitoring/ speculation to the next level. They are
extremely useful for those users who would like to begin paper
trading the forex market or for those people who want to monitor
the market while at work. Being able to monitor from work means
that you can call your broker and manage your account over
the phone and still have charts to base your decisions on.
Ordinarily it is unlikely that you would be able to do this
during the day because you wouldn’t
be allowed to install or run your broker’s online trading
platform on your work PC. Once again all major currencies are
supported and you can even shift through time frames, apply technical
indicators and even choose between bar or candlestick charts.

available for our live forex charts: Chart Guide - How to use
