The Available Tickets and Available Robux show the top 20 trades in each catagory. By top, I mean they have the best rates, for tix the higher the rate the better, for robux, the lower the rate the better.

In the middle is a box that has some data.
First is the "Current Rate" thing.
"9.4621/9.4135"
This means that the top tix trade is trading at 9.4621 tickets to get one robux.
And the top robux trade is trading at 9.4135 tickets to get one robux. You're probably asking yourself, "how can we have two different rates at the same time?!!?" Well, the answer is simple, the currency exchange is just a way for players to trade their currency with eachother, that means that players have to be WILLING to trade at those rates to actually get any sort of money transfer going. One does not simply put 1 tix in and get 30000 robux out, it doesn't work that way, players have to be willing to trade at the rate that you put in.

The next thing is the "Spread"
"-48"
This is just a simple way of saying the difference in the rates. if you want to know how spread is calculated, here is the formula(expressed in Lua ofcourse) math.floor(TopBuxTrade-TopTixTrade)*1000
Since robux is the currency ROBLOX wants us to buy, it goes first in the formula, so when the spread is negative, robux is trading for less than tickets. And vice versa.

Truth be told, I have absolutely no idea what the "High/Low" thing really is, I can only guess it records the highest tix rate, and the lowest robux rate, it probably resets every 24 hours?
"14190./0.0050"
With that said you're now wondering, why it is so low, and that is because when a person uses a MARKET ORDER it means they don't care what rate they trade at, they just want money, and the system interprets that as a rate of 0 (or close to it) that is also why the spread can change to be such a huge number(negative or otherwise).

Now, for the trade part.
Market Order when you put money in a market order, ROBLOX fills it with what ever the top rates are, so you may get a good deal, or a bad deal, market orders are how people using Limit Order can profit off the TC.
The estimated trade that pops up, is just what ever you input, if you do a trade with tickets, it divides the inputed number by the TopBuxRate. If you put robux in it multiplies the input by the TopTixRate.
Limit Order is where you get to choose EXACTLY how much you'll give of a certain currency, and EXACTLY how much you want back. You can set it to split trade (trades at different rates, but you still get the same amount, this generally gets completed faster), or NOT split trade(meaning your order will fill all at the same time, and will only happen when somebody else trades enough money at the rate you want to actually complete your whole order at the same time).

Hope this helps explain the TC, I'm a horrible teacher, but it makes perfect sense to me, hope you can dicipher my post and make sense of it.

Btw, the estimated trade works on a seperate page, so it gives you an estimate of the current rates, not necessiarlay the rates on the page when you do it.

Nice explanation. Hopefully this gets the people whining about how to use the TC to shut up.
