Bid

Market basics

The bid is the price at which a sell deal is priced in MetaTrader 5's description of a deal.

Explanation

MetaTrader 5's help says a deal sells at the supply price, the Bid, and buys at the demand price, the Ask. A market sell is generally done at the Bid. Stop loss and take profit on a long position are checked against the Bid. The bid is not a promise that a later order will fill there. In instant execution the broker can reject the displayed price and send a requote.
