Wide Open
The situation at the opening of a trading day when there is a wide spread between the bid and ask prices for a security.

Notes:
This situation can arise because market makers and market participants have yet to submit their bid and ask prices to the market, leaving very few (uncompetitive) orders to appear as the lowest ask and highest bid price.
