What is Market Depth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Market Depth, also referred to as Depth of Market (DOM), measures the supply and demand balance based on the number of open buy and sell orders for a particular asset.<\/strong> The DOM is represented as a list as shown in the table below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/td>Buy<\/strong><\/td>Sell<\/strong><\/td><\/td><\/tr>
Quantity<\/strong><\/strong><\/td>Price<\/strong><\/td>Price<\/strong><\/td>Quantity<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
200<\/td>$300.80<\/td>$300.90<\/td>1,000<\/td><\/tr>
150<\/td>$300.75<\/td>$300.95<\/td>450<\/td><\/tr>
50<\/td>$300.70<\/td>$301.00<\/td>200<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The top row in the Buy segment refers to the highest price a buyer is willing to pay. Similarly, the top row in the Sell part is the lowest price at which sellers are available. Trades are executed when buyers\u2019 and sellers\u2019 demands match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The information can also be presented in charts. Here are two popular market depth graphs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Market depth compares the activity of buyers and sellers and helps understand the interest of investors in the particular asset. The greater the number of orders, the deeper or more liquid the market.<\/strong> Many of these orders may not get filled since there might not be a match between what buyers are willing to pay and what sellers are willing to accept.<\/p>\n\n\n
