In this episode we unpack the mechanics behind these two numbers, explore why the spread exists, and reveal what it tells you about liquidity, volatility, and market sentiment. Learn how brokers display Level I vs. Level II data, how high-frequency traders exploit micro-spreads, and how retail investors can minimize slippage and execution costs. A concise primer for anyone aiming to trade smarter.
