10. How does the orderbook work?In order to understand how an orderbook works, you must first understand its four concepts which are bid, ask, quantity and spread. The bid is a price (labelled in green) offer given by the buyer to purchase. The ask is a price (labelled in red) offer given by the seller to sell. The quantity is the amount the buyer is willing to buy, or the seller is willing to sell.
