Spread
Difference between bid and ask price.
Why it matters
Spread matters because it changes how teams evaluate product risk, user experience, compliance exposure, and financial interpretation.
How it works
In practice, Spread is understood through its operational role, the systems it touches, and the market actors that depend on it.
Risks and pitfalls
The main pitfall is to use Spread as a buzzword without understanding the underlying controls, limits, and cross-border implications.
Regional notes
This concept appears across BIST, MOEX, GLOBAL contexts, but implementation can change with local regulation, payment rails, and institutional practice.
