Absolute Liquidity Changes are changes to resting lot sizes in the orderbook, where market participants accumulate large sizes on single price levels.
Large absolute liquidity in the orderbook shows a high interest of market participants that can attract prices or act as support/resistance.
ULTRA
Absolute Liquidity Changes are visualized at price levels and times when the defined liquidity size is reached or exceeded. Here, 203 lots were reached at that time. The default signal is a colored square – green for changes on Bid, red for changes on Ask – which the user can customize.
The example shows the DOM levels 4410.75 and 4500.75 of the ES (S&P 500 Future). Resting limits total 40 and 400 lots on the price levels at this point.
The 40 lots consist of single-limit orders placed by different market participants: The Absolute Liquidity is 40 lots.The 400 lots consist of smaller single orders and one large order of 350 lots: The Relative Liquidity added on that price level is 350 lots, and the Absolute Liquidity is 400 lots.
