It might be a good idea if the 'money matched' for each price in the ladder view could be displayed graphically as well as numerically.

That way, you could tell at a glace if lots of money had been matched on one side of the book in the previous 60 seconds, but not the other.

What do you think?

The matched volume column already displays a numerical and graphical value?

It does, but it doesn't show the change over time.

If you had a small histogram for each price, with time on the x axis and volume on the y axis, you could see immediately where the money is currently being matched.

My thinking was that, if far more money is being matched on one side of the book than the other, than that may suggest something about the market's future direction.

What do you think?

PS Just a further thought.

Why not have a 'weight of money matched' chart, showing on which side of the book most of the money is being matched on?

That way, you could see whether the wom is pointing in one direction, but the money matched shows that the market isn't interested in moving in that direction.

what sort of indicator would we see in this case if I put a lay bet in the market and you match it with your back bet...

Hi Gutaumi

It would show up as a back bet.

I got this idea from the WOM thread.

With WOM, it may be that there's loads of money on one side of the book because someone wants to close their trade, not because it shows where the market wants to go.

Also, whilst people may try to manipulate the market through wom, people are less likely to place large bets and lays just to fool the market!

So I think bets and lays placed tell you more than bets and lays offered alone about the market's intentions.

Just an alternative suggestion.

It might be good if you could reset the amounts matched for each price to zero, so you can see where the money is being matched over the next seconds or minutes.
