Uncapped Market Depth

Definition

Uncapped market depth describes a trading environment where there is no predetermined limit on the volume of buy or sell orders that can be placed at various price levels. This characteristic suggests a highly liquid market with numerous participants willing to trade substantial quantities of an asset. It allows for large orders to be executed with minimal price impact, reducing slippage and improving overall market efficiency. Such depth is a hallmark of mature and robust markets.
