Tradeable Instruments with PropXP
Spreads are variable and can widen during news, rollover, low liquidity, and market opens/closes. If you want the most authoritative spec: MT5 → Market Watch → right-click symbol → Specification.
What to look for in your trading platform
Ask = price you buy at
Bid = price you sell at
Spread = Ask − Bid (your built-in transaction cost)
Your chart prints the Bid by default. If you want to see Ask, enable the Ask line in chart properties.
