Stock Symbol	This is the unique code that identifies a stock in the market. For example, “AAPL” for Apple Inc.
Bid Price	Indicates the price at which buyers are willing to purchase the stock at that moment.
Ask Price	Shows the price at which sellers are willing to sell the stock at that moment.
Spread	It is the difference between the bid price and the ask price. A narrower spread is preferable as it implies lower transaction costs.
Price Change	Indicates how much the stock price has changed since the previous close.
