Market basics
Offer minus bid. A wide spread is a cost you pay for getting in or out, on top of brokerage.
Spread = Best offer (ask) − Best bid
A bid of ₹100.00 and an offer of ₹100.20 is a spread of ₹0.20, or 0.2%. Buying at the offer and selling straight back at the bid loses that 0.2% before any brokerage.
