Two-Way Quote

A dealer gives a two-way quote by stating both the price at which they will buy and the price at which they will sell. The two numbers form the two-way price, while the quote is the act of presenting them to another market participant. In GBP/USD at 1.2750/1.2753, the dealer bids 1.2750 and offers 1.2753. The customer can immediately see both sides and the three-point spread between them. A one-way indication may show only buying or selling interest. A genuine two-way quote shows that the dealer is prepared to deal in either direction, subject to the stated size and market conditions.

TYO10

TYO10 is a market-data symbol used for the Cboe 10-Year Treasury Yield Index. The index represents the yield on the US 10-year Treasury note rather than the price of the note itself. A reading may be displayed at ten times the percentage yield on some systems, so 45 can represent approximately 4.5%. The exact display convention should be checked with the data provider. TYO10 is not the universal symbol for the 10-year yield. Other platforms may use US10Y, TNX, or their own code. This is why the symbol’s description matters more than guessing from its letters.
