Handle
(redirected from Handleable)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.
Handle
The whole-dollar price of a bid or offer is referred to as the handle (e.g., if a security is quoted at 101.10 bid and 101.11 offered, 101 is the handle. In this example, the market is then simply quoted as 'ten to eleven', as in '.10 to .11'.) Traders are assumed to know the handle. See: Full.

Big Figure
The whole dollar amount of a quote. For example, if a security is trading at $26.45, its big figure is 26. Many traders do not include the big figure when providing quotes, especially for highly liquid assets like currencies, because they assume other traders already know them. The big figure is also called a handle, especially in the United States.

handle
The whole dollar price of a bid or offer. A bid of $91.10 and an ask of $91.15 would have a handle of $91.
