About NZX market depth

NZX market depth allows you to quickly see if there are NZ shares available at the price you want to buy at, or if there are buyers waiting at the price you want to sell at. It's currently only available for NZX-listed companies and funds, and isn’t available for Australian or US shares.

NZX market depth will show you details of the price per share, the number of shares, and the number of orders placed to either buy or sell at each price. It can also help you get an idea of where your order might go in the queue.

Sometimes, individual market and limit orders placed for NZX shares are sent to market with similar orders placed by other investors—this is called ‘aggregation’. If your order is aggregated, it will not be possible to see your individual order in the NZX market depth queue.
