Traders can be divided into 3 groups: buyers , sellers and undecided. Buyers want to pay as little as possible, and sellers want to charge as much as possible. Their permanent conflict is reflected in bid-ask spreads
1/n

ASK is what a seller asks for his merchandise.
BID is what a buyer offers for that merchandise.
A buyer has a choice: to wait until price comes down or pay what sellers demand. A seller has similar choice: wait untill price rise or accept a lower offer for his merchandise.
2/n

A trade occurs when there is a momentary meeting of two minds: an eager bull agrees to a seller's terms and pays up, or an eager bear agrees to a buyer's terms and sells a little cheaper.
3/n

The presence of undecided traders puts pressure on bulls and bears. Buyers and sellers move fast because they know that they're surrounded by a crowd of undecided traders who may step in and snatch away their deal at any moment.
4/n

The buyer knows that if he thinks too long, another trader can step in and buy ahead of him. A seller knows that if he tries to hold out for a higher price, another trader may step in and sell at a lower price.
5/n

The crows of undecided traders makes buyers and sellers more willing to deal with their opponents. A trade occurs when there is a meeting of two minds.
