Introduction to the Bid Ask Spread Indicator
The Bid Ask Spread indicator is a useful gauge that displays the bid/ask spread in real-time for any currency pair.
In the top right corner of the chart, you will see three values displayed. The green one is ask price, the red one is bid price, the orange is the spread (difference between ask and bid prices).
Let’s look at the following example to understand that formula. On the chart shown above, the ask price is 1.30095, the bid price is 1.30075 and the spread is the difference between the ask/bid price, in this case, it is 2 full pips.
It fits all kinds of timeframes and currency pairs.
The default settings can be modified directly from the input tab. Feel free to experiment with the settings and parameters to fit your personal preferences.
