Futures traders measure liquidity in terms of how easy it is to buy and sell a futures contract. The higher the liquidity, the easier it is for buyers and sellers to get in and out of positions. This allows traders to focus on timing their entries & exits rather than wondering if there will be sufficient volume to trade.
As a result, liquidity is an important factor when selecting a futures instrument to trade, especially for new traders.
The spread, or the difference between the ask and bid price, is largely influenced by liquidity. The more liquid a contract, the smaller the difference between the bid price and the ask price. With fewer participants, less liquid markets might have a wider spread than highly liquid markets which usually have a spread of only 1 tick. Read More

Moving averages are a cornerstone of technical analysis, helping to smooth out short-term price fluctuations and highlight longer-term trends.

The VWMA averages price data with an emphasis on volume, meaning areas with higher volume will have a greater weight. On heavy volume days, the VWMA will more closely follow price, and on lower volume days the VWMA will act similarly to a simple moving average.Read More
