The Bid/Ask Spread. The bid/ask spread is the difference in price between the bid and ask. In active stocks the bid/ask spread is typically $0.01, for example the bid is $10.05 and the offer is $10.06. The attached chart example shows a Level 2 in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF.
The ask price represents the minimum price that a seller is willing to receive. A trade or transaction occurs after the buyer and seller agree on a price for the security. The difference between the bid and ask prices, or the spread, is a key indicator of the liquidity of the asset. In general, the smaller the spread, the better the liquidity. 'Bid and Ask' is also known as 'Bid and Offer'. BREAKING DOWN 'Bid and Asked' The average investor contends with the bid and ask spread as an implied cost of trading. For example, if the current price quotation for security A is $10.50 / $10.55, investor X, who is looking to buy A at the current market price, would pay $10.55, while investor Y who wishes to sell A at the current market price would receive $10.50.
