Depth of Market

The Depth of Market (DOM) displays bids and asks for a particular instrument at the best prices (closest to the market) at the moment. The DOM window also shows the volume of each order.

The Depth of Market is different on the exchange and over-the-counter markets:

• If an instrument is traded in the exchange mode, in which related trading operations are sent to an external trading system (an exchange), the DOM features real prices and order volumes from market participants.
• If an instrument is traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, the Depth of Market can be formed based on the quotes of the broker, who may provide different prices depending on the buy or sell volume. If the broker does not provide volumes, the DOM window functions as a scalping tool, which allows placing of market and pending orders with a single click. In this case, the Depth of Market displays price levels calculated based on the Bid and Ask prices using the price change step.

For more information about prices in the Depth of Market, please see the Price Data section.
