Could you please elaborate on the concept of a 'midpoint' in the context of a foreign exchange spread? I'm interested in understanding how it's calculated and what significance it holds for traders and investors in the foreign exchange market. Specifically, how does the midpoint relate to the bid-ask spread, and how does it influence trading decisions? Is it a static figure or does it fluctuate with market conditions? I'd appreciate a concise yet comprehensive explanation of this term and its application in the realm of currency trading.

It is determined by taking the ask price, which is the price at which a currency pair can be purchased, and the bid price, the price at which it can be sold.

The sum of these two prices is then divided by two to arrive at the midpoint.
