Bid/Ask Spread

What Does Bid/Ask Spread Mean in Options Trading?

It's the difference between the bid/ask price offered. Liquid contracts or contracts with a higher trading volume usually have a tighter bid/ask spread, and contracts that have a lower trading volume usually have more room between the bid/ask price.
