[QUOTE="SOLIDECN, post: 208746, member: 80239"] [JUSTIFY][img]https://i.ibb.co/v49ZbV6/what-is-spread-1.png[/img] A spread can have several meanings in finance. Generally, the spread refers to the difference between two prices, rates, or yields. In one of the most common definitions, the spread is the gap between the bid and the ask prices of a security or asset, like a stock, bond, or commodity. This is known as a bid-ask spread. In finance, a spread refers to the difference between two prices, rates, or yields One of the most common types is the bid-ask spread, which refers to the gap between the bid (from buyers) and the ask (from sellers) prices of a security or asset Spread can also refer to the difference in a trading position – the gap between a short position (that is, selling) in one futures contract or currency and a long position (that is, buying) in another[/JUSTIFY] [HEADING=1][JUSTIFY][B]Understanding Spread[/B][/JUSTIFY][/HEADING] [JUSTIFY]Spread can also refer to the difference in a trading position – the gap between a short position (that is, selling) in one futures contract or currency and a long position (that is, buying) in another. This is officially known as a spread trade. [img]https://i.ibb.co/dW6Ln7s/what-is-spread-3.png[/img] In underwriting, the spread can mean the difference between the amount paid to the issuer of a security and the price paid by the investor for that security—that is, the cost an underwriter pays to buy an issue, compared to the price at which the underwriter sells it to the public. In lending, the spread can also refer to the price a borrower pays above a benchmark yield to get a loan. If the prime interest rate is 3%, for example, and a borrower gets a mortgage charging a 5% rate, the spread is 2%. The bid-ask spread is also known as the bid-offer spread and buy-sell. This sort of asset spread is influenced by a number of factors:[/JUSTIFY] [LIST] [*][JUSTIFY]Supply or "float" (the total number of shares outstanding that are available to trade)[/JUSTIFY] [*][JUSTIFY]Demand or interest in a stock[/JUSTIFY] [*][JUSTIFY]Total trading activity of the stock[/JUSTIFY] [*][JUSTIFY]For securities like futures contracts, options, currency pairs, and stocks, the bid-offer spread is the difference between the prices given for an immediate order—the ask—and an immediate sale – the bid. For a stock option, the spread would be the difference between the strike price and the market value.[/JUSTIFY] [/LIST] [JUSTIFY][img]https://i.ibb.co/gVD0xbh/what-is-spread-4.png[/img] One of the uses of the bid-ask spread is to measure the liquidity of the market and the size of the transaction cost of the stock. For example, on Jan. 11, 2022, the bid price for Alphabet Inc., Google's parent company, was $2,790.86 and the ask price was $2,795.47.1 The spread is $4.61. This indicates that Alphabet is a highly liquid stock, with considerable trading volume. The spread trade is also called the relative value trade. Spread trades are the act of purchasing one security and selling another related security as a unit. Usually, spread trades are done with options or futures contracts. These trades are executed to produce an overall net trade with a positive value called the spread. Spreads are priced as a unit or as pairs in future exchanges to ensure the simultaneous buying and selling of a security. Doing so eliminates execution risk wherein one part of the pair executes but another part fails.[/JUSTIFY] [URL='https://solidecn.com/Account/Register?utm_source=forum&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=register'][ATTACH type="full"]21701[/ATTACH][/URL] [HR][/HR] [B]Solid ECN brings vital advantages for forex traders in the US, EU, and beyond.
