Most market participants have no difficulty determining the "bid" from the "offer" when they are dealing in their domestic or home currency. However, it can be complicated when dealing with a currency pair that differs from your standard FX requirements, or if you trade in a currency that is not your home unit.
Bid refers to the price firm is offering to buy from you a specified currency. And offer price is the price firm is ready to sell the specified currency to you. Bid price is always lower than the offer price. Not only forex the rule applies in share market and commodity market likewise.
Is it not the Ask and Offer price for any trading of (forex) currency.? Thanks.
