As we know from theory, the bid price (sell price) represents the maximum price a buyer is willing to pay for security, for example, the forex pair price. The asking price (buy price) represents the minimum price a seller is ready to take for that security. By default, in MT4 and MT5, the bid price (sell price) can be seen, but the asking price usually is not visible.
How to show the bid and ask line on MT4?
To show on the Mt4 bid and ask line, you need to go to Chart/Properties option in MT4 (or click F8 on the keyboard) to bring up the properties screen (Common) and locate the “Show Ask Line” option on the right side. In the next step, check the “Show grid” box and click OK.
Bid line MT4 is visible by default in any Metatrader platform. On your chart, the bid line can always be seen, and if you need to know the ask price, you need to add using the Chart Properties window, as we explained in this article.
