How do I know a stock that I am buying is easy to find a seller later? By looking at the volume? What is a good number?

warrant ?

you look at the buyer and seller queue in order book. how many ppl willing to buy in left column, and how many willing to sell in right column

that's no guarantee, just imaging u are buying house, that's many buyer now doesn't guarantee that's many buyer in the future

misconception. There is always a buyer and seller if it is still listed on the stock market. It is only the stock price that you're concerned about. Low liquidity stocks is more susceptible to manipulation (obviously because there's only a handful of market makers so they get to dictate the price).

no, trading queue is not trading volume. Only when the transaction goes through it is counted as volume: https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resou...olume-of-trade/

Low volume stocks can have very high trading queue, especially when it is done by market manipulators. This is especially prominent in high frequency trading, where manipulators just queue for fun and then cancel the queue to manipulate the stock price (also called spoofing). https://www.bradley.com/insights/publicatio...ore-enforcement

Then you are concerned with the liquidity of a stock, not the volume. Look at the mkt depth for the stock,... ie see the amt queued for buy and sell,.... Bt of course this queue is very fluid. if the numbers can disappear at a split second.

Secondly,... you'll get some hints/signs too from the volume transacted,... see if the volume for a few days 'match' the queue sizes or not.

Nvidia gg? so many sell.

ipohps3 wait until tomorrow 8am Malaysian time (8pm Sunday usa). 24 hour trading begins on that time

Pro answer this 👍

Liquidity also varies on time of day of the market.
