CER - incorrect naming convention? #30

Closed gchartier closed 2 weeks ago

gchartier commented 1 month ago

In the current CER glossary term it states the order is quote first and then base:

For a feed of CER type, the feed name naming convention is {{cur-a}}-{{curr-b}}, where the ordering follows the forex convention of 'base currency second' (see base-quote).

However, in both the current base-quote glossary term and the forex link referenced below it, it states the order is base first and then quote:

In the forex market, currencies are always traded in pairs; the first is the base currency, and the second is the quoted currency.

I think we need to update the definition of CER unless I'm missing something?

This is discussed in this branch https://github.com/orcfax/glossary/pull/29#discussion_r1684571105 and settling on this definition where it's {{base-currency}}-{{quote-currency}}
