Mid Price

The mid price is the price halfway between the current bid and ask. If: Bid = $4.80 Ask = $5.20 then: Mid = $5.00

Why it matters to you

The midpoint provides a useful reference when evaluating an option's quoted market. But it is not a guaranteed execution price. There may be no trader currently willing to transact at the exact midpoint.
