More Informed Decisions
Since the
order books are visible, traders can make informed decisions by identifying areas of optimal
liquidity. Traders can also see the depth of market.
Trader Becomes the Price
Maker
Participation in live trading allows traders to contribute to the upward
or downward movement of the price of the underlying financial instrument. In essence,
traders become price makers instead of price takers.
Transparency
Since the information
visible to all participants is the same, a level playing field is available to all
participants. Traders can also see each and every bid and offer for the financial instrument
that they are trading.
