Description

Accepting the highest bid price available for a security.

To ‘hit the bid’ means to sell a security at the highest current bid price offered in the market. This action indicates acceptance of the best available offer to buy, often executed when a seller wants to immediately liquidate a position or when the bid price is deemed satisfactory. It’s a term commonly used in trading environments to describe a quick sale at market rates.
