Bid — definition & meaning

The highest price a buyer is currently willing to pay.

The bid is the price at which you can sell an instrument right now — it is the best price a buyer in the market is currently offering.

The bid is always slightly lower than the ask. The gap between them is the spread, which is a cost you pay every time you trade.
