What is great about Yahoo is that it is not only search engine, but also an informational portal. One of the features Yahoo is offering is Yahoo Currency Converters.

This section of Yahoo is providing several useful features, among them:

  • simple currency converter (web form where you pick one currency and find out how much it costs in the items of other currency, by the way - Yahoo has a huge list of currencies to choose from, that is why you will not have problems for checking even the rare world currencies)
  • trading charts of USD against major currencies (Euro or Yen, by the way the charts are almost real time)
  • major currency cross rates (USD, Yen, Euro, Can $, UK pound, AU $ and Swiss Franc)

These Yahoo currency converters and other instruments provided by Yahoo can sometimes be a big helper. All Forex traders have currency rates and cross rates provided by the broker, BUT it is very important to point out that brokers are showing the results which can be "slightly different" - if you read your agreement with Forex broker you will find that issue somewhere for sure.

Why? Because Forex brokers have the legal right to provide you with their own currency data - they setup the trading kitchen for you.

Heck? Am I not on the interbank?!!

Most of the traders are not, most probably you are not on the interbank as well. Interbank is the virtual space of real market where the currencies are traded for their real price. And to be on the interbank you need to be at least market maker (this option costs from $50,000 and higher + many papers to sign). In all other cases Forex broker is your gateway to the market. And Forex broker is legally allowed to make profit from this tiny difference between real rates and the rates that they show. Surely this is not the only sorce of the profit for Forex brokers, but still..
