Synopsis
there are two basic motivations for makers when offering liquidity:
...
- Interest: The tier is a reflection of a Makers exhaust preferences, to trade down positions built up in other flows. In this model the ladder will typically be presenting more liquidity on one side, in an asymmetric fashion, i.e. pricing will be much tighter on the side where trading is preferred. The volume bands can be entirely dynamic - published rung positions, varying from tick to tick. There is a reduced requirement to show indicative prices here, as the intention of the Maker is often to zero-out previously published liquidity. This method makes it perfectly feasible for liquidity to be published on a single side only.
