A guide to the markets on RumiEX

RumiEX brings four asset classes into one workspace: currencies, crypto, commodities and stocks. Each one behaves differently, responds to different news and suits different trading styles. This guide explains what is available, how each market tends to move, what the OTC label means, how to read the live price table above, and how to choose markets that fit the way you trade.

What you can trade

The instrument list is managed by RumiEX and can change as instruments are added or retired; the table above always shows what is available right now. At present it covers:

What "OTC" means

Instruments marked OTC (over-the-counter) are quoted by RumiEX's own pricing engine rather than taken from an external exchange feed. Two consequences follow:

• They are available around the clock, including when the underlying exchange is closed — weekends and holidays included.
• Their prices are RumiEX's quotes, not the exchange's. They will not exactly match the price of the same asset on any particular exchange, and their movements outside the underlying market's hours do not reflect trading on that market.

The label is there so you always know which kind of price you are looking at.

How each asset class moves

Currencies

Currency pairs are quoted as one currency in terms of another: EUR/USD at 1.0850 means one euro costs 1.0850 US dollars. If the pair rises, the first currency (the base) is strengthening against the second (the quote).

The global currency market is the largest financial market in the world: the Bank for International Settlements' 2025 Triennial Survey reported average turnover of about $9.6 trillion per day in April 2025. Major pairs are therefore usually very liquid. They respond most to interest rates, inflation, employment data and central-bank communication. In the real-world market, moves in major pairs are typically measured in fractions of a percent per day. RumiEX's OTC currency instruments are quoted by its own pricing engine and can move considerably more than that, so always check an instrument's actual 24-hour range in the table above rather than assuming real-world behaviour.

Crypto

Crypto assets trade continuously and are known for large, fast moves — daily swings of several percent are common. Prices respond to overall risk appetite, regulatory news, flows into investment products and sentiment, and most cryptocurrencies tend to move in the same direction during broad market moves.

On RumiEX, crypto is quoted against USDT, a stablecoin designed to stay at one US dollar. In normal conditions BTC/USDT is almost identical to Bitcoin's dollar price. Our articles on why crypto is so volatile, Bitcoin vs Ethereum and what stablecoins are explain this market in depth.

Commodities

Gold and silver respond to interest rates, the US dollar, inflation expectations and demand for perceived safe havens during uncertainty. Crude oil and natural gas respond to supply decisions, inventories, geopolitical events, weather and economic growth. Energy markets in particular can move sharply on unexpected news.

Stocks

Share prices reflect expectations about a company's future profits. They move on earnings reports, guidance, sector news and the overall market mood. Large technology companies such as those listed on RumiEX are also sensitive to interest-rate expectations. Earnings announcements can cause large overnight moves in the underlying shares.

Reading the live price table

The table above shows, for each instrument:

• Price — the current quote, at the instrument's own precision.
• 24h change — the percentage change over the past 24 hours, in green for a rise and red for a fall.
• 24h range — the lowest and highest prices over the same period.

The range is a quick way to gauge volatility: an instrument whose 24-hour range is several percent of its price is moving far more than one whose range is a fraction of a percent. That difference should show up directly in your position size — the more an instrument moves, the smaller the position for the same risk. Our risk management guide explains the calculation.

Understanding price quotes

Each instrument is quoted to its own precision, and the size of a "normal" move differs widely between markets:

• Currency pairs are usually quoted to four or five decimal places (two or three for pairs involving the Japanese yen). The smallest conventional unit of movement is called a pip — 0.0001 for most pairs and 0.01 for yen pairs.
• Crypto is quoted in USDT, often with two decimal places for high-priced coins like Bitcoin and more for lower-priced ones.
• Commodities and stocks are quoted in US dollars, usually to two decimal places, and traders often talk about moves in points — one whole unit of price.

These conventions matter when you calculate risk. A 20-pip stop on EUR/USD, a $30 stop on gold and a $900 stop on Bitcoin can represent similar amounts of risk once each is converted into money and sized correctly — the numbers alone don't tell you which trade is riskier.

How risk differs between asset classes

The practical rule is the same across all of them: decide the money you are willing to lose on a trade first, then let each market's volatility determine the position size. Measures like the Average True Range, explained in our technical indicators guide, make this easy.

Choosing markets for your style

Start narrow

Learning one or two markets well teaches far more than skimming many. Each market has its own rhythm — how it behaves around news, at different times of day, and at round-number levels. Pick one or two, watch them daily on the charts, and only add more once you understand those.

Common mistakes when choosing markets

• Trading whatever is moving most today. The market with the biggest move is often the one where late entries are most dangerous — see FOMO and revenge trading.
• Using the same position size everywhere. A size that is sensible on a currency pair can be far too large on a cryptocurrency.
• Spreading attention too thinly. Watching ten markets means understanding none of them well.
• Ignoring the calendar. Each market has scheduled events — rate decisions, inflation data, earnings — that can move it sharply.

Correlation: when markets move together

Markets are not independent. A few relationships to be aware of:

• Pairs sharing a currency — EUR/USD and GBP/USD often move in the same direction because both are priced against the US dollar.
• Cryptocurrencies often rise and fall together in broad moves.
• Gold and the US dollar have often moved in opposite directions, though not reliably.

Holding several correlated positions is closer to one large position than to several small ones. Count them together when you decide how much total risk to carry.

Timing and liquidity

Even where an instrument is quoted around the clock, the real-world market behind it has busier and quieter periods:

• Currencies are typically most active when European and US trading hours overlap.
• Crypto never closes, but activity is often lower at weekends and during quiet hours.
• Stocks and commodities are most active during their main exchange sessions, and react to scheduled reports such as earnings and inventory data.

Around major scheduled announcements, prices can jump and spreads can widen. Many traders avoid opening new positions in the minutes around them — see latency and slippage explained.

A short glossary

• Spread — the difference between the price to buy and the price to sell at the same moment; a cost of every round-trip trade.
• Pip — the conventional smallest move in a currency pair: 0.0001 for most pairs, 0.01 for yen pairs.
• Point — one whole unit of price, commonly used for commodities and stocks.
• Liquidity — how much can be traded near the current price without moving it.
• Volatility — how much and how quickly a price moves; higher volatility calls for smaller positions for the same risk.
• OTC — over-the-counter; on RumiEX, an instrument quoted by RumiEX's own pricing engine.
• 24h range — the lowest and highest prices over the past 24 hours.

How to start

1. Open a free account — it includes a funded demo wallet.
2. Pick one or two markets from the table above and open them on the chart.
3. Mark key levels, set price alerts and watch how each market behaves for a week.
4. Practise your plan on demo before risking real money — see the demo account guide.
5. Check that trading is permitted where you live before using a live account.

In summary

RumiEX offers currencies, crypto, commodities and stocks in one workspace, with OTC instruments quoted by its own pricing engine and available around the clock. Each asset class moves for different reasons and at different speeds, so match your markets to your schedule and risk, size positions to each market's volatility, watch for correlated exposure, and learn one or two markets well before adding more.
