Two-Way Quote

外汇网2021-06-19 16:24:51 144

A type of quote that gives both the bid and the ask price of a security, informing would-be traders of the current price at which they could buy or sell the security. The two-way quote also shows the spad between the bid and the ask, giving traders an idea of the current liquidity in the security (a smaller spad indicates more liquidity).

Taobiz explains Two-Way Quote

This type of quote provides more information to users than a last-trade quote, which quotes only the price at which the security last traded.

An example of a two-way quote would be: Citigroup quote of $52.50/$53.30.

This tells traders they can currently purchase Citigroup shares for $53.30 or sell them for $52.50. The spad between the bid and the ask is $0.80 ($53.30-$52.50).
