The bid/ask spread is the difference between the buying (bid) and selling (ask) price of the same transaction (eg stock, currency). The ask (offer) prices are immediate execution (market) prices for quick buyers (ask takers); bid prices for quick sellers (bid takers). If a trade is executed at market prices, closing that trade immediately without queuing would not get you back the amount paid because of the bid/ask difference.
