Like some other trading price, the spread for a forex pair comprises of a bid price at which you can sell (the lower end of the spread) and an offer price at which you can buy. It is essential to note, in any case, for each forex pair, what direction round you are trading. When buying, the spread consistently reflects the price for buying the principal currency of the forex pair with the second. So an offer price of 1.3000 for EUR/USD implies that it will cost you $1.30 to buy €1. You would buy in the event that you imagine that the price of the euro against the dollar is going to rise, that is, on the off chance that you figure you will later have the option to sell your €1 for more than $1.30.
