The amount of one currency or asset quoted for one unit of another. Pair direction matters: EUR per LTC and LTC per EUR are reciprocals. A reference conversion does not include every spread or service fee and is not necessarily an executable buy or sell offer.
For example At a hypothetical 50 EUR per LTC, 0.2 LTC has a reference value of 10 EUR before spreads and fees.
Common mistake Using a rate backwards, confusing a current reference with a historical transaction rate, or assuming the displayed conversion is what a provider will deliver.
Full glossary entryHow recent an underlying market observation is, judged from its timestamp and the tool's stated rules. A source event time, collection time and page refresh time describe different things. A recent observation still does not guarantee an available or executable price.
For example Reloading a page at 12:05 does not make an observation from 11:30 newer; that source observation remains 35 minutes old.
Common mistake Reading a cache refresh as a new market event or assuming that every tool uses the same expiry threshold.
Full glossary entryA price at which a buyer offers to buy an asset. The best bid is the highest displayed buy price on a particular order book. A seller may receive less when a larger order consumes lower levels, and trading fees are separate.
For example A hypothetical $49.90 best bid is the top displayed buying price, not necessarily the average received for selling all your LTC.
Common mistake Using the best bid as a guaranteed purchase price or assuming a displayed order will remain available until you trade.
Full glossary entryA price at which a seller offers an asset. The best ask is the lowest displayed sell price on a particular order book. A buyer may pay more for a larger order that consumes several levels, and trading fees are separate.
For example If only 1 LTC is offered at a hypothetical $50 best ask, buying 3 LTC may require paying higher prices for the rest.
Common mistake Reading the best ask as the price you can sell at, or assuming your whole purchase is available at that one price.
Full glossary entryThe gap between the highest displayed buy price (bid) and the lowest displayed sell price (ask). A small spread can reduce trading costs, but does not show how much you can trade at those prices.
For example If the best bid is $49.90 and the best ask is $50.10, the displayed spread is $0.20 before other charges.
Common mistake Treating the spread as the only trading cost while ignoring fees and prices beyond the top of the order book.

Checking background notification support…
These are separate from the local alerts below. The server stores your push subscription, targets and status history; the browser retains a device credential. No email address or account is required. Do not clear browser storage before disconnecting if you want to remove the server records immediately.
Each target fires once when a fresh observed quote meets or exceeds the selected condition. A condition already met can fire on the next check. Brief movements between checks can be missed. LTC quotes older than 5 minutes, or currency inputs older than 15 minutes, pause evaluation. Currency inputs may be delayed when FX markets close.
Targets expire after 90 days. Delivery depends on your browser, operating system, permissions and connectivity; push-service acceptance is not confirmation that you saw a notification. This is a reference-price alert, not a trading instruction or an order.
Use “Disable and remove all” to delete this browser's server records. Removing permission in browser settings stops notifications but may leave records until automatic cleanup. See the privacy policy.
Checking monitoring status…
Set a target price and choose whether you want to be alerted when LTC reaches or exceeds that level in the chosen direction. Alerts are stored in your browser's local storage, so they persist across sessions — no account required.
The page checks verified quotes every 5 seconds while visible. Hidden or closed tabs do not monitor prices, and brief price movements between checks can be missed. Missing, delayed or disconnected data pauses alerts. A target already reached triggers on the next valid check. Each alert fires once until rearmed.
Keep this tab open and visible for local alerts to work. For monitoring while the page is closed, enable the separate background alerts above. Looking for current rates? Try our LTC calculator or check the dashboard for a full market overview.
