Unlike a stock market, where it is required that all participants have access to the same prices, the foreign exchange market has been divided into levels of access. The inter-bank market is at the top, which is constituted of the largest investment banking firms. Within the inter-bank market, spreads, which are the difference between the bid and ask prices, are razor sharp and often the players outside the inner circle do not know about them.

The difference that is present in between the bid and ask prices widens (from 0-1 pip to 1-2 pips for some currencies such as the EUR). This happens due to volume.
