What's the deal with the new spot price feature?


Seth
Message added by ChrisSilver

The spot price feed comes directly from Banks and Financial institutions and is The World Spot price. It displays the ASK price. Note the price in the spot price bar is in USD. In the future we will update the bar to allow members to change between USD, GBP, EUR prices.

What's the deal with the new spot price feature?  For a start none of the spo prices for the precious metals quoted are correct.  At the time of typing this out - 12:49pm, Bullion By Post and Atkinsons list the spo t prices as follows:

Gold: £1223.81

Silver: £10.137

Platinum: £527.43

Palladium: £1293.15

Where as the spot prices for these precious metal at the top of the page are quoted as follows:

Gold: £1482.22

Silver: £12.37

Platinum: £660.30

Palladium: £1585.61

As you can see there is quite a difference between all he spot prices quoted on the top of the page between the spot prices that bullion dealers are quoting, a big difference, the spot prices for all the precious metals listed at the top of the page are higher, in some cases a lot higher than every bullion dealers quoted spot price for these precious metals.

You're confusing GBP/USD

I'm wondering where the prices are being scraped from?  None of them match any of the prices in the live markets, even when factoring in the 30 second increments.  They are at least a couple of dollars out all the time.

@ChrisSilver is there an option to turn this header off? I don't want to see prices unless I want to see prices if you follow?

Yes I'd prefer an option to turn it off, along with the large CONTACT US button which fills up half the screen on mobile devices and also is distracting on a desktop layout too.  There's already a perfectly usable 'contact us' link in the 'help and support' menu at the bottom so why do we need a huge perma-button as well?  Am I missing something? :unsure:

Edit: OK, found the option to turn it off thanks to Roy.

Ha Ha Ha, my diabolical plan has worked, not only have I now ruined what could of been an amazing time saving feature for everyone, but I've also managed to cause some poor bugger a serious squeeky bum moment, and a lot of extra work.

Bugger my diabolical plan didn't last long, how about an an option to see the spot prices in real money you know £ instead of toilet paper AKA US$ - the most counterfeited currency in existance.
