Liquidity
Determine market liquidity
Real-time futures data is visualized on Vesper in multiple formats, including graphs and tables, displaying bids, asks, and spreads from the current month up to one year ahead. By tracking the spread between bid and ask prices, you can easily assess market liquidity. Smaller spreads indicate higher activity and liquidity, larger spreads suggest less liquidity or greater price uncertainty.
