The bid-offer spread (bid-ask;  buy-sell) for securities (such as stock, futures contracts, options, or currency pairs) is the difference between the price quoted by a market maker for an immediate sale (bid) and an immediate purchase (offer).
The size of the bid-offer spread in a given commodity is a liquidity measure of the market and size of the transaction cost.
