Read the actual feed
Forex and crypto widgets offer real-time feeds. Stocks, ETFs and exchange indices can be delayed or restricted. Metals, energy and index CFDs are provider reference instruments; check the actual panel status.
LEARN / THE MARKET WORKSPACE
Real markets.
A considered process.
Follow provider data across seven asset categories, check its source and timing, and write a plan before using your broker.
Your market workflow
Choose your market
Open forex, metals, energy, indices, stocks, ETFs or crypto. Quote boards and charts display external provider data.
Market coverage7 asset categoriesAvailable symbols depend on the provider and exchange.
Step 1 of 4. External data status is shown by the provider.
Understand market hours
A provider may show the last traded price when a market is closed. A loaded panel does not prove a fresh quote. Read the timestamp, session and delay label.
Analysis and execution
Charts and quote boards do not place orders. Broker Hub offers official platform information; VCM account sync and order execution are not yet connected.
Use contract details
Supply your broker’s pip size, pip value in your currency, lot increment and minimum volume. Calculator inputs are planning assumptions, not a live quote feed.
Keep your journal
Plans and manual results are stored in this browser. Export a CSV before clearing browser data. They are not verified broker statements.
If a feed fails
Use Reload market panels or the provider link. Unavailable feeds remain unavailable until the provider reconnects.
