Liquidity definition

Liquidity in trading and investment refers to the ease with which a financial asset can be bought or sold in the market without causing a significant change in its price. The more liquid an asset is, the easier it is a trader can buy or sell them in the market. Liquidity is an important factor to consider when making trading decisions, as it affects the trader’s ability to enter and exit positions at their desired prices. It can also impact the cost of transactions and the overall risk in trading.

How to determine an asset’s liquidity?

An asset is considered to be liquid if it has a high trading volume and a narrow bid-ask spread. Trading volume refers to the number of transactions (shares and contracts shaded) that are made within a given period. A narrow bid-ask spread refers to a small difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to buy the asset (the bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept to sell the asset (the ask).

Investing in CFDs involves a high degree of risk that you will lose your money due to the use of leverage, particularly in fast moving markets, where a relatively small movement in the price can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment. This can result in loses that exceed the funds in your account. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and you should seek independent advice if necessary.
