The Liquidity

Liquidity is the open interest of buyers and sellers in the market. During trading, traders create liquidity by opening positions and placing pending orders.

Liquidity is money and is measured by stop-losses. Smart capital is always in search of liquidity in order to fill their buy or sell orders.

Small traders (retail) are not the main target for large capital, as they are a small percentage of the total market volume (approximately 5%).

Types of liquidity

Buy Stops Liquidity (BSL) - stop losses of traders who opens short positions. Banks use buy stops to place sell orders.

Sell Stops Liquidity (SSL) - stop losses of traders who opens long positions. Banks use sell stops to place buy orders.
