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.
