Bid vs ask price

On most platforms there is the option whether the current price shown is the bid or the offer. Some platforms allow both to show. So you can select which price format suits your current position, whether it is long or short.

Another thought came to mind just now - can you set some kind of price alarm on your platform or broker app? Then you could be notified when price is approaching your TP and you can then follow it at that point and not all the time! :smiley:

You can usually change them in an “options” or “properties” menu. Here are two examples: Marketscope and MT5:
