Bid/Ask Share Size?

How do you know the real size of the bid/offer with Iceberg orders and Vwaps/Twaps.

 

i dont . hey can i open an account wiht lightspeed even though i dont reside in the US. Im in korea but an american citizen

 

The term "liquidity" typically refers to the ability to "move size" (i.e. the ability to buy or sell a large number of shares/contracts) without affecting the market. In your example, the liquidity is higher on the offer side (21,000), compared to the liquidity on the bid side (9,600).

 

Start a separate thread for this. It has nothing to do with the topic that you started.

 

Can I assume you are living in South Korea? Yes, you can open an account. This is considered a domestic account with foreign address. We can do foreign accounts too.

yes, sort of, there can be more buyers than sellers at a certain price, but somebody needs to budge off their limit and if both sides are died in the wool it simply won't trade until somebody lifts the offer or hits the bid and then it is usually a whole new ball game. But repeated times when there always seems to be more offers than bids doesn't bode well for the longs for the next few moments. It's more something to keep the trader occupied with anthropomorphing the market than anything you could base a trade on.

Yes, of course. We are regulated by those that created that.
