Techniques to display trading assets in a preferred currency are described. According to one aspect of the present invention, a three-tier architecture is presented and includes a brokerage, a market exchange and a currency exchange. Through a consolidated trading platform, the brokerage presents all price, quotas, transactions or settlements in a preferred currency, in conjunction with the market exchange and the currency exchange. As a result, a trader always knows exactly what he/she may end up with a transaction of an asset, where a prevailing exchange rate is obtained prior to a transaction to prevent uncertainty in currency exchanges in another time.
