Glossary · Resting liquidity

What is resting liquidity?

Resting liquidity is the size sitting in limit orders on the order book, waiting to be filled at a set price.

Does resting liquidity hold when price arrives?

Large resting orders can slow price or make it react, but they can also be pulled before price arrives, so they are context, not a promise. Markov shows resting liquidity as it was recorded and marks any minute it wasn't recorded instead of filling it in.
