Handle

A round number price level on a financial instrument. In trading, handle refers to the whole number part of a price quote, often used to describe major psychological price levels such as 1.3000 in forex.

Example

A forex trader said 'EUR/USD is trading on the 1.08 handle,' meaning the pair was somewhere between 1.0800 and 1.0899.
