Spreads in Forex Trading

The BID price is the price at which a client can sell a unit of the base currency (in return for buying the secondary currency) and the ASK/OFFER price is the price at which a client can buy a unit of the base currency. For example, if the quote for the exchange rate of the Euro/U.S. Dollar in the market is 1.2583/1.2586, this means that the client can pay $1.2586 in order to buy one Euro (the base currency) and will receive $1.2583 if one Euro is sold. The BID price is lower than the ASK price and the difference or 'spread' between the two numbers is measured in 'pips' (3 pips here) and represents the profit of the dealing room or trading house.
