The term "instant quotes" refers to real-time stock prices or financial market data that is updated and displayed in a matter of seconds after an order has been placed. This means investors can quickly access up-to-date information on stocks, commodities, indices or other securities without having to wait for the end of the trading day or for regular updates from their brokerage firm. Instant quotes are typically available through online financial platforms and tools that provide real-time market data feeds, allowing investors to make informed decisions about buying or selling stocks based on current prices and trends.
