매수(Bid)매도(Ask) 가격과 스프레드

통화쌍은 항상 매수(Bid)매도(Ask)두 가지 가격으로 표시됩니다.

EURUSD가 1.4110 | 1.4112로 표시되었다면

• 1 EUR를 1.4110 USD에 매수(Bid)
• 1 EUR를 1.4112 USD에 매도 (Ask)

Both Bid and Ask prices are used on complete trading operation because opening and closing a position implies performing actions of opposite directions:

• Opening a Buy position means buying while closing a Buy position means selling,
• Opening a Sell position means selling while closing a Sell position means buying.

Spread is the difference between Bid and Ask prices. Spreads of various currency pairs differ from each other. The size of the spread is measured in pips. For the EURUSD currency pair in our example the spread is equal to 2 pips.
