How does bid and ask work




The Rob Tetrault Show show

Summary: In this episode of the Rob Tetrault show we dive into the world of day trading and playing the bid and ask game.  A Bid is what i’m willing to pay for a specific share, debenture, or a bond. An ask is what i’m willing to receive when selling my shares. The distance between the two would be the spread, in other words the bid ask spread. As soon as the spread is at zero meaning that the bid and the ask are at the same number, that's a trade.
