Liquidity

How easily an asset can be bought or sold without affecting its price.

Full Definition

Liquidity refers to the ability to execute trades quickly at stable prices. The forex market is the most liquid financial market, with over $6 trillion traded daily. Major pairs have the highest liquidity, resulting in tight spreads and minimal slippage. Lower liquidity (exotic pairs, off-hours) leads to wider spreads and potential price gaps.
