Big advocate of buying up players at low prices if you truly believe in this platform long term. These are the perfect opportunities, which I have been taking advantage of. What's becoming unpalatable is the fact that these moments are occurring so regularly #footballindex
Much-maligned market dynamics clearly need improving and the constant 'banging head against the wall moment' for most traders is the knowledge that these WILL be rectified in time to allow sustainable growth in player pricing that reflect on pitch performance - what we all crave
That time cannot come soon enough and I am desperate for the roadmap to be announced efficiently and concisely, as promised in the early part of this week. I'm a relatively new user to this platform but have such belief in it once the teething problems are erased
Coming from a trading background where I trade via orderbooks on a daily basis, I know the benefits to this product once they are introduced alongside full market depth. There are numerous illiquid stocks out there which can be traded using skill and attention to market condition
This should be no different to the FI world where an illiquid stock would equate to an out of favour lower end priced player. Likewise, confidence in market should be restored once you can identify if the top end boys are falling in price all down to one rogue trader
To demonstrate market depth, below is the chart of Vodafone shares. The green circled data shows the bid/offer to the left with the number of shares on the right (the format 1x2). This tells you that you can sell 39,149 shares @ 104.44 or buy 11,116 @ 104.48
Furthermore, this screen grab shows the full market depth with how many shares are available at a given price. Highlighted are the bid/offers starting from the current spread. The size column shows the number of shares at each level with the total showing the cumulative
This information is CRUCIAL to trading. once we get this, the game truly does change for the platform. It is at this point that people from a non-gambling background and some more serious financial players get involved. It is that which equals liquidity
I can't entirely pinpoint what prompted me to post this....I just hope it can help explain the true meaning or order books and market depth. Confidence is what drives any market and there is currently very little in the football index space. These updates will change that quickly
