- stocks - Bid vs ask if spreads are wide or narrow - Personal Finance . . .
If you are trading at market quotes, you buy at the ask price and you sell at the bid price The difference between the two is the spread In order to break even, the security must move up by the amount of the spread The wider the spread, the less liquid the security is
- Stock spread: wide vs. narrow? - Personal Finance Money Stack Exchange
The point is that the bid and ask prices dictate what you can buy and sell at (at market, at least), and the difference between the two, or spread, contributes implicitly to your gains or losses For example, say your $1 stock actually had a bid of $0 90 and an ask of $1 10; i e say that $1 was the last price
- What is causing large bid ask spread in IEX top of book data?
The markers indicate where actual updates occurred Below the first axis I am computing the difference between the forward filled ask and bid then dividing that difference by forward filled bid price to obtain forward filled spread in percent (blue line) For the 4 hours observed in this history the spread was generally less than 1%
- Why is there such a large spread on bid ask during extended trading?
I've noticed on a few stocks (NYSE:WHR, NYSE:PHM), that during extended hours trading, the bid ask spread becomes extremely large For example: Mar14th WHR closed at ask $78 10, and bid $78 30, and then after hours, quickly change to $77 72 $78 09, then 6pm it was $76 60 $78 09 When it hit midnight, $76 50 $80 25
- stocks - What would stop someone from taking advantage of wide bid . . .
If it really made money to trade both buying and selling inside the spread, someone else could come along and bid 148 02 and ask 149 98 There are well paid quantitative experts and computers that study these fluctuations continuously If the spread is too wide, these automated trading programs may jump in, lowering the spread
- Why doesnt the bid ask reflect my ask price on a spread options . . .
Bid Ask Call 12 00 16 00 Put 12 80 16 70 The "bid" of this spread trade would be 24 80 (that's what it would cost you to buy the spread), and the "ask" would be 32 70 Since you put in a sell order for the spread and not the individual options, the bid and ask of the options does not change, hence the ask of the spread does not change
- How to determine if a bid-ask spread is good or bad?
You can weight the B A spread any way that you want for your programming but it won't change actual trading results Executions occur only if the participants are willing to trade at the market (any price at or between the spread) Yes, the spread of your $1 88 stock is greater than your penny stock
- Trading, Bid and Ask - Personal Finance Money Stack Exchange
The bid is the highest amount that someone is willing to pay for the stock and the ask is the lowest that someone is willing to sell the stock for If the quote is 46x57 and you are the highest bid at 46, why would you bid against yourself and offer 47 or 48 or even 50 when at 46 you will be the first one to buy the stock if a seller decides to
- What factors can cause a sizable difference between bid and ask . . .
The short answer is that if a stock has a wide bid ask spread during after hours, then there is little, if any, after-hours trading taking place Such a wide B A spread is meaningless and implies nothing
- bid ask - What do I need when I want to go short? - Personal Finance . . .
For stocks that have c a 3 cent spread to CLOSE long or EXIT short Buy Limit ASK + 0 03; to CLOSE long or ENTER short Sell Limit BID - 0 03; If you have SEC 201 Rule or a wide spread stock You might want to use different combinations The above mapping is good to begin with
