What market depth shows you
When the market is open, you can quickly see if there are co-operative shares available at the price you want to buy at, or if there are buyers waiting at the price you want to sell at.
You’ll also see the following real-time market info:
Bids: the highest price buyers are willing to pay and how many shares they want to buy.
Last traded price: the price the most recent trade was made at.
Offers: the lowest price sellers are willing to sell at and how many shares they’re selling.
Previous close: the last traded price of an investment at the end of the previous trading day.
Spread: the price difference between the offers and the bids.
Today’s high: the highest price that an investment has traded at on that day.
Today’s low: the lowest price that an investment has traded at on that day.
Volume weighted average price (VWAP): the average price an investment has traded at throughout the day, based on both volume and price.
