Bid and Ask (or Bid-Ask Spread) are the two sides of a quoted price for a security. The Bid Price is the highest price a buyer is willing to pay, while the Ask (or Offer) Price is the lowest price a seller is willing to accept. The difference between the two is the Bid-Ask Spread—a direct measure of market liquidity and transaction cost. A narrow spread indicates high liquidity and competitive pricing, while a wider spread signals lower liquidity or higher risk. For traders on platforms like Ventura, understanding the bid-ask spread is essential for accurately calculating the true cost of entering and exiting positions.
