<p>Since <a href="https://www.bitcoinica.com/" rel="nofollow">Bitcoinica</a> has been released I've been reading a bit about Forex. But i don't know what the superscript number refers to in the price quotes on the front page. How is this number calculated and what does it indicate? Or are they just simply pips?</p>
