Hedging Example
Example 1: - Dow Jones March:
Enter the amout that you want to trade and whether you want to BUY or SELL.
Which means :
The first price10765 = bid price = price at which you can SELL (going short) the instrument. If you believe the price will go down you should SELL.
The second price
10775 = offer price = price at which you can BUY (going long) . If you believe the price will go up you should BUY.
Each quote applies for a specific market or instrument – Dow Jones, and for a specified time or date in the future – March.
Spread
The difference between bid and offer prices is commonly called the spread.
