Demand > supply = price increases, demand < supply = price decreases. We all know that the laws of supply and demand set prices. This rule also applies to stock trading; however, there is a high probability of error when using this rule to judge the volume balance of buy/sell stocks in the limit order book. The key factor is the ‘remaining volume (balance).’ The volumes of stocks listed on the limit order book are meant for trading, but traders can manipulate some of the specified prices for illegal purposes. Additionally, in an uptrend, the seller submits a higher price, and the transaction is not executed immediately. Conversely, in a downtrend, the buyer sets a price to buy at a lower price, allowing the unsold balance to accumulate. In the limit order book, the principle works in reverse. Of course, it cannot be applied 100% in every case. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The tallest mountain in the solar system is Olympus Mons on Mars, towering about three times higher than Mt. Everest. Its area, covering 295,000 ㎢, surpasses the size of the Korean Peninsula (220,850 ㎢) and is nearly equivalent to that of France or Arizona. While Olympus Mons has a greater height than any mountain on Earth, its vast area results in an average slope of only 5 degrees. As a result, hikers who ascend Olympus Mons often feel as if they are traversing a flat plain. For humans, the steepness of a climb matters more than its height. For example, ascending a steeper 5 m pole can be more challenging than gradually scaling a 500 m mountain. In life, choosing the right slope to climb is often more crucial than focusing solely on the height reached, whether going uphill or downhill. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
