What is Spread?
The spread is the difference between the buy (bid) and sell (ask) price of an asset.
Explanation:
It represents the cost of trading and is a source of profit for brokers.
Practical Example of Spread:
A forex trader sees the EUR/USD pair with a bid price of 1.1200 and an ask price of 1.1202, resulting in a spread of 2 pips.
