Exchange orders not being fulfilled

Question

Guest TomMartin1983

I'm new to this so apologies if there is a basic obvious answer.

I have a BUY working order for VEL VELOCITY COMPOSITES PLC at level of 32p which has been on all day. However trades are happening that are significantly below this value (30.7)  https://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/prices-and-markets/stocks/summary/company-summary/GB00BF339H01GBGBXASQ1.html


Why doesn't my BUY order take precedence?

Thanks for any help and again apologies if obvious.

Tom

The listed price is the mid price so is nether a buy or sell price, it is based on the order book that lists offers and bids, the mid price is half way between the best offer and the best bid. Once the best bid or offer is taken up the next best becomes the best and the mid way is recalculated to reflect that. The difference between the bid and offer is the spread which is essentially the cost of the trade.

Hi @TomMartin1983, just looking at your link and can see the spread is very high, the mid price between best bid and best offer is 33.50, the 'bid' to enter a short (trigger a sell order) is 30.00 but the 'offer' to enter a long (trigger a buy order) is 37.00 which is a long way from your buy order of 32.00. Are you sure the offer price did actually fall to 32.00 which should then have triggered your buy order? 

The last trades are not shown as being either buy or sell.

Oh I think I see.

Are you saying the prices listed on www.londonstockexchange.com can either be the buy or sell price? and that the 30.07 value maybe the sell price with a buy price greater than my 32.00 buy order?  I assumed all the prices listed were buy price.

Thanks
Tom

    • The crypto market appears to be showing signs of recovery, with significant improvements in the Sharpe Ratios of Bitcoin, BGB, and Ethereum, according to an article published on Friday.  The Sharpe Ratio, a measure used to understand the return of an investment compared to its risk, has seen a notable increase for both cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin's Sharpe Ratio has risen from -2.4 to 0.68, while Ethereum and BGB have also experienced a similar uptrend. This change signifies higher returns at lower risk, which is expected to attract more investors to the crypto market. In addition to the improved Sharpe Ratios, increased network activity and trading volume as shown on CEXs like Bitget, Binance, and a few DEXs are suggesting a healthier market state. The current trading prices of Bitcoin, reflect this overall positive market sentiment. As of Friday, Bitcoin was trading at $27,069.73, BGB at $0.454 and Ethereum at $1,677.89. These developments are significant as they indicate reduced risk in the crypto market. The increase in the Sharpe Ratios for Bitcoin, BGB, and Ethereum suggests that these cryptocurrencies are becoming less risky investments, which could potentially lead to an influx of new investors into the market.  Could this rise in Sharpe Ratios coupled with increased network activity and trading volume point towards a recovering and less risky crypto market?
