Foreign exchange trading is a 24-hour transaction involving currencies bought and sold concurrently. Traders do not need an office to conduct their dealings. Although the major dealers in the foreign exchange market involve financial institutions, foreign exchange defies physical space and time.
Similar to any financial product, foreign exchange trading involves a price at which Sellers and Buyers are willing and can trade. Foreign exchange prices could either be a bid price or an asking price.
The Bid Price, according to Forex Basics at FX Solutions Online, is the price at which the dealer is willing to buy and traders can sell currency. On the other hand, FS Solutions Online notes, the Ask Price or Asking Price, is the price at which the dealer will sell and traders can buy currency. The difference between the Bid and Ask Price is called the Spread or the cost of the transaction on the part of the trader.
