Cex.io price difference

[CristiTCM]

Hello!
I'm a newbie when it comes to bitcoin.
I am using cex.io for buying bitcoins. My question is why is so big difference between selling and buying when it comes to price?. For example the price of btc says it's  4371$,  but to sell is 4054$ and to buy is 4684$ . So i will be in loss if i sell my bitcoin . Is there a better way to do this not to loose so much money?

lol man
you see there price bitcoin in real time 4370 $ but you can see buy offers 4600 and sell offer 4100 you got it ?
nobody not sell at preev price and need buy high for got profit
and nobody no want buy high soo put offer under preev price
my english bad but i quess you understand the rules for this 3 price what do you see there
and yes you  can not loose money and can win money only put youre offer 4400$ and wait i am sure in 2/3 hour you got youre money at youre price that is trading gl there

Guess that the prices on the bigger exchanges are more alike, but there is always a difference in buy and sell.
Though that amount is pretty weird indeed.

You have to invest smart and please try to join a proper exchange is my advice, something like Kraken or Bittrex.

It's not only about Cex.io but this is how the market works. There are buyers on one side and if the top buyer is willing to pay $4K for buying Bitcoin then you will see $4K as buy rate and on the other hand, if the top seller is willing to sell his Bitcoin for $4,200 then you will see the sell rate of $4,200 so at any point, there will rarely be the same price for buying and selling.

If you want to buy Bitcoin in such case then you must pay $4,200 and if you want to sell your Bitcoin then you must sell it for $4K otherwise create a new order with your expected price and wait for the buyer or seller.
