In order to make forex trading or really any other kind of equity or commodity training fair for all, most markets need to keep updating their prices in real time. This is because of the fact that this makes it at the very least partially certain that the prices you are paying are indicative of how the market is behaving, and suffice it to say that without these pricing guidelines no trades that you make can be considered in any way legitimate and there is a pretty good chance that the whole system would start to crumble if this was allowed to happen.

The truth of the situation is that you might have noticed an error message on forexfear.com called an off quote. You shouldn’t be concerned if you see this since it doesn’t mean that you have done anything wrong. All it means is that there have been no new price updates in a given time, and the fact of the matter is that no trades can be accepted until the latest prices are received.

The most common reason for off quotes is a connectivity error, but there can also be other problems such as questions surrounding the validity of a certain equity. If you see an off quote, you should try out a different position to see if that works for you. If all else fails, just wait a little while and the problem should sort itself out. Many traders see an off quote as a sign that they can finally take a break and recharge their batteries which is obviously really essential for them if they want to maintain an appropriate work and life balance!
