In the section on how to impress your date with lingo, the part that talks about the Ask says this:

Ask/Offer Price
The ask/offer is the price at which the market is prepared to sell a specific currency pair in the forex market. At this price, you can buy the base currency. It is shown on the right side of the quotation.

For example, in the quote EUR/USD 1.2812/15, the ask price is 1.2815. This means you can buy one euro for 1.2815 U.S. dollars. The ask price is also known as the offer price.

Shouldn’t the ask price be 15?

Hello @jcastrozz, if the quote is 1.2812/15, the ask price would be 1.2815.

Which is what you stated at the end so I’m not sure I understand your question.

It says the ask us in the right side of the quotation. 15 is on the right side. I thought the left side was the bid?
