What is the Spread and how does it affect my trade?

Spread is basically the difference between the ‘Buy’ Price and the ‘Sell Price.


When a trader opens a trade at a specific price, he/she will be immediately in a losing position.

This is due to the Spread.


Buy Price: ASK Price

Sell Price: BID Price


Even at the Bank, where you intend to give 2,000 USD to get the equivalent amount in EUR, you must pay the Spread.


This is clearly visible, by trying a second later, to exchange the EUR amount back to USD.


You will realize that the amount you will get back from the real money exchange, is definitely less than 2,000 USD.
