What are bid and ask prices?

💱 What are Bid and Ask prices?

When you trade Forex or CFDs, you will always see two prices:

  • Bid → The price you can sell at

  • Ask → The price you can buy at

The difference between them is called the spread.




📉 Bid Price

The Bid is the price at which you can sell an instrument.
It represents the highest price a buyer is currently willing to pay.




📈 Ask Price

The Ask is the price at which you can buy an instrument.
It represents the lowest price a seller is currently willing to accept.




📊 What is the Spread?

The difference between the Bid and the Ask price is called the spread.

Spread = Ask Price – Bid Price

The spread represents the cost of entering a trade.
