Bid, ask e spread
Você compra no ask e vende no bid. O spread é um custo imediato.
SafeCandle original (EN). Module «Pairs and quotes» — lesson «Bid, ask e spread». Você compra no ask e vende no bid. O spread é um custo imediato. This text is educational: reading and process, not a buy/sell order.
Majors, crosses and exotics differ in liquidity. Start study with liquid majors before exotic playgrounds.
Link pairs to currency strength later: the pair is the scoreboard between two currencies.
Application: with «Bid, ask e spread» in mind, compare EUR/USD and one cross (e.g. EUR/GBP). What changes in the currency engine, in cost, and in your urge to click? On /mercado, check whether strength ranking supports or challenges the read — observation only.
Journal exercise (tag study): (1) define the topic in one sentence of your own; (2) one mistake you would avoid; (3) playbook now or “study later” queue. Link the lesson to one concrete tool: journal (3 lines), strength panel, risk calculator or playbook checklist.
Base and quote define which currency you are long or short in the pair. Pips measure small moves; they are not profit by themselves.
If you ever trade live capital, position size and the written plan lead — not lesson excitement. Read the risk disclaimer.
