# Bid

Returns the current bid price.

## Syntax

```typescript
Bid(): number
```

## Return Value

// Get current bid price
const currentBid = this.api.Bid();
console.log(`Current bid price: ${currentBid}`);

// Calculate spread
const spread = this.api.Ask() - this.api.Bid();
console.log(`Current spread: ${spread}`);

// Use in trading decisions
if (this.api.Bid() > previousPrice) {
  // Price has increased
  // Implement trading logic
}
```
