Ranked by percentage change — the only figure comparable across four different currencies. Price itself never is (see the Glossary).

Listings by country
A count of listed companies, not a market-cap weighting — none of these four feeds publish market cap.
Listings by sector
Sector data as published by NGX — the other three exchanges mostly do not report one.
Pick up to 3 symbols from any exchange. Each is normalised to % change from its first archived point, so a naira quote and a CFA franc quote can share one honest axis.
Add a symbol above to plot its performance.
A paper simulator for practicing position sizing with real prices. No money moves and nothing here is a real trade or order.
No positions yet — add one above. Entry price defaults to the current quote; edit it to try "what if I had bought earlier".
A rate implied by this board's own equity quotes, not a forex feed — useful for a sense of scale, not for real currency trading.
BRVM, NGX, GSE, BVC
The four exchanges this terminal reads. BRVM (Abidjan) is regional — it serves all eight UEMOA states at once, which is why its listings carry a country tag. NGX (Lagos), GSE (Accra) and BVC (Praia) are each one country's national exchange.
UEMOA
The West African Economic and Monetary Union — the eight-country currency union (sharing the CFA franc, XOF) that BRVM serves. Some BRVM-listed companies are regional issuers rather than based in any single member state; those are tagged UEMOA, not a country.
Breadth: ▲ ▼ — ?
▲ advanced, ▼ declined, — closed unchanged. ? means the exchange reported no change figure at all for that listing — a different thing from flat, and worth reading separately: a market with many "?" is one this board can say less about, not a quiet one.
% change vs. price
BRVM prices in CFA francs, NGX in naira, GSE in cedis, BVC in escudos. Ranking listings by raw price across exchanges would rank them by whose currency has the smallest units, not by who is actually worth more or moved more. Percentage change carries no currency, so it is the one figure this terminal ever ranks across exchanges — see Regional Movers.
The ≈$ figure
Each quote's own price converted to US dollars by the market data backend, at whatever rate it last used. It is the one price figure that is safe to compare across exchanges directly — the Converter tool uses the same numbers, just aggregated into one rate per currency.
Sparkline / price history
The classic board's per-symbol history (click the › chevron on any row) and this terminal's Compare tool both read from an archive that started recording on 2026-07-28 — a symbol's chart only goes back that far, and gets more useful every day it keeps running.
Watchlist
Starring a symbol on the classic board (☆) pins it to a Watchlist tab there, saved in your browser — nothing is sent to a server, and it will not follow you to a different browser or device.
WestFin
ADG's country-level economic and political dossiers. Any country name or tag on the classic board links to its WestFin page; the Breakdown tool's country list does too.
