Why does GateHub display the XRP/USD pair differently than most other exchanges

[jamesroguski]

This has been driving me crazy, but I think I have finally figured it out why I have been confused. Most of the exchanges show the XRP/USD pair (in that order), but GateHub displays it in the reverse order USD/XRP.  So, rather than showing the price of XRP in dollars and cents, (like $0.25 or $0.33) it shows the number of XRP that you can exchange for one USD (4.0 XRP or 3.0 XRP). I can't find a way to flip the pair so that the display is more intuitive. Can someone help me out with the following questions?

Is it possible to have GateHub flip the display to the XRP/USD pair instead of the USD/XRP pair? Is there a button to click or a choice that I can make to flip the pair so that it shows the value of XRP in dollars and cents, rather than the value of one U.S. dollar in units of XRP?

I have included screenshots from GateHub, BitStamp and Kraken.

Thanks in advance

you have the trade pairs set to trade XRP for USD.  If you change the USD to BTC (or something else), you can then change the XRP to USD and then change the BTC (or whatever you chose) to XRP.

You are absolutely correct. I just didn't think of it being a two step process. Thanks. I really appreciate your help!

jus click the middle arrow in between xrp balance and usd balance

that would be too easy

That works in the "exchange" area. I was referring to the "trade" area. The two areas are different, that is what was confusing me. McRip 's advice helped a lot. Thanks again.

Oh.... Now I see what you mean ---  Duh.  Thanks again.
