Terminology
The following terms are used by OptionFair to calculate expiry rates for:
Bid Price – The last known price quoted by Data Provider for selling an asset prior to the option expiry time.
Ask Price – The last known price quoted by Data Provider for buying an asset prior to the option expiry time.
