Probably weak markets, I'm guessing the markets you've see in videos are ones with plenty of money in them. It's like physics, the more mass there is the more stable it is.

Maybe people like Gary and I need a graph showing a Stability Factor against volume! :) If North/South is stability and East/West is volume then I assume it would be an X^2 curve.

I've always assumed that's what the risk meter shows. Can't comment though cos I've never used it.

I was always under the impression that WOM was calculated from "Matched Amounts" so would not be unduly influenced by fake money

i may be wrong, but any orders (fake or otherwise) are placed on the order book (as you'll see when you place an order that's unmatched - your available funds shrink to reflect this). that order book will show what's waiting (as in *available on the other side of the book*), even if the orders are subsequently withdrawn. WOM is related to what is waiting, rather than what's been already serviced (tho of course, it has to be *there* before it can be available on the other side of the book - :o :shock: ).

Its the unmatched amounts of the best 3 prices on either side of the book, which in BA you have the option (on the Display tab of your main settings area) of how much weight you want to give to each price

Yes my mistake, but got me thinking if you actually did the same calc on the matched amounts could you compare the two to see the entries with the least spoof money?

Weight of Money: does it take into account that at odds of say 3.00 you need double the amount prepared to Lay to balance that prepared to Back or am I being completely stupid! :o

Flow of Money: Would this be a good monitor of the pressure of new money and whether it's in the back side ( :shock: two words and no hyphen! :lol: ) or the Lay side. I'm thinking Flow = (MoneyNow - MoneyBefore) + MoneyMatched where MoneyBefore was the money position at the start of a period and MoneyMatched is within the period. I've no idea if I've got that formula right nor over what period to use … I'm just thinking aloud!
