Que es la liquidez?
La sección sobre la liquidez ofrece estimaciones aproximadas de la actividad de trading en el mercado del forex. Le permite comprender y ver la liquidez actual y la de sesiones anteriores, en tiempo real. Una mayor liquidez suele significar mejores spreads, ya que más transacciones han sido realizadas.
El cálculo de la liquidez tiene en cuenta muchos corredores y las 10 divisas más negociadas para calcular la liquidez por minuto de las últimas 48 horas. Puede utilizar la función de acercamiento del gráfico para ampliar/seleccionar un período de tiempo personalizado y hacer que la liquidez se calcule automáticamente.
La liquidez promedio de las últimas 24 horas se utiliza como base del 100% de liquidez para el cálculo del porcentaje (número de ticks dividido por el spread promedio). Por ejemplo, una lectura del 110% le indicará que la liquidez actual es un 10% superior a la liquidez media de las últimas 24 horas.
También puede ver la liquidez promedio de las últimas sesiones en la tabla de la izquierda.
Dado que el mercado de divisas es un "mercado extrabursátil", no hay datos oficiales sobre el volumeny elopen interest, por lo tanto, la liquidez puede ser estimada por el número de ticks de precio y losspreads.
Por ejemplo, un número elevado de ticks de precios y un spread bajo significarán una liquidez alta, mientras que un número bajo de ticks de precios y un spread alto significarán una liquidez baja.
What does the Liquidity percentage mean on this page?
The liquidity percentage shows how current market liquidity compares to the recent average. A value of 100% represents the average liquidity of the past 24 hours. Values above 100% indicate higher-than-normal liquidity, while values below 100% indicate reduced market activity.
How is Forex liquidity measured if there is no official volume data?
Forex is an over-the-counter (OTC) market, so there is no centralized volume reporting.
Liquidity on this page is estimated using price activity (tick frequency) and spreads, aggregated from multiple brokers and major currency pairs.
More price updates combined with tighter spreads generally indicate higher liquidity.
Why does liquidity change throughout the day?
Liquidity fluctuates based on trading sessions, market participation, and economic events.
It is usually highest during the London and New York sessions, especially when they overlap, and tends to be lower during late Asian hours, rollovers, and holidays.
Why can liquidity drop sharply around news events?
Before major economic releases, many market participants temporarily remove orders, reducing available liquidity.
After the news is released, trading activity often increases again, sometimes leading to sharp price movements and higher volatility.
Does low liquidity mean higher trading risk?
Yes. Lower liquidity often results in wider spreads, increased slippage, and less predictable price movements.
This is especially important for larger position sizes or strategies that rely on precise execution.
Is high volatility the same as high liquidity?
No. Volatility measures how much prices move, while liquidity measures how easily trades can be executed.
A market can be highly volatile but have low liquidity, particularly during news events or thin trading hours.
How can traders use this liquidity data in practice?
Traders use liquidity data to:
- Identify periods with better execution conditions
- Avoid thin market hours when spreads tend to widen
- Adjust position size during low-liquidity periods
- Compare current market conditions to recent norms
