What is the bid-ask spread in forex?

The bid-ask spread is the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay (bid) and the lowest price a seller will accept (ask). This spread represents the transaction cost in forex trading.

Why does the bid-ask spread matter?

The spread affects your trading costs - a narrower spread means lower costs. Major currency pairs typically have tighter spreads due to higher liquidity, while exotic pairs have wider spreads.

How do market makers affect bid-ask spreads?

Market makers and liquidity providers help maintain tight spreads by continuously offering to buy and sell currencies. Their competition typically results in better pricing for traders.
