Spread

The difference between the bid price and the ask price of a currency pair in forex trading. Forex brokers may differ in their bid/ask spreads, and they may change bid/ask spread during different time periods of the day. A wider bid/ask spread typically occurs when a currency pair is illiquid. Lower or lowest bid / ask spread is preferable for forex traders, other things being equal.
