carefull with nq today - the offered liquidity is extremelly thin. market makers do not quote a price as they are supposed to. they are frightened..

Noticed liquidity was thin on ES earlier... some noted in TST room might be because roll over.

yeah, it migh be because of the rollover but in this case i would say it is mostly because nasdaq (nq) fell like crazy in friday. after these movements, market makers are much more cautious - and they dont offer high volume on depth of market, because they could not be able to manage the risk.

for them it is easier to wait until the price stabilizes

ES did not fell so much so the liquidity there was much more stable. here, nasdaq was really nervous

this is something that drives me crazy. for the first two trades i took today, i could not reach the further targets. for the third one, as soon as i closed the second part of the position, the market dropped like crazy. i feel like...

anyone who would like to cooperate in building an aos system based on orderflow? i suck at programing, yet i have some (simple) ideas i would like to rewrite into a c/c++ code

if you are interested in joining the team, let me know

hello, I made an application in the past with visualising and detecting the book. The problem is that there are lots of quotes shown and pulled again, so fake liquidity..

fake liquidity is a normal feature on depth of market, it is a fact.
