imbalance of orders |
0.04 sec. |
|
Imbalance of orders Used for listed equity securities. Too many market orders of one kind-buy or to sell or limit
orders to buy up or sell down, without matching orders of the opposite
kind. An imbalance usually follows a dramatic event such as a takeover,
research recommendation, or death of a key executive, or a government ruling
that will significantly affect the company's business. If it occurs before
the stock exchange opens, trading
in the stock is delayed. If it occurs during
the trading day, the specialist halts and then suspends trading (with
floor governor's approval) until enough matching orders can be found to make
an orderly market.
