General Trading Risk Disclaimer

es
Futures, stocks and options trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The valuation of futures, stocks and

ic
options may fluctuate, and, as a result, clients may lose more than their original investment. The impact of seasonal and geopolitical events is

rv
already factored into market prices. The highly leveraged nature of futures trading means that small market movements will have a great impact
on your trading account and this can work against you, leading to large losses or can work for you, leading to large gains.

Se
If the market moves against you, you may sustain a total loss greater than the amount you deposited into your account. You are responsible for
all the risks and financial resources you use and for the chosen trading system. You should not engage in trading unless you fully understand
the nature of the transactions you are entering into and the extent of your exposure to loss. If you do not fully understand these risks you must

g
seek independent advice from your financial advisor.

in
All trading strategies are used at your own risk.
Any content on “TTW Trading Services Ltd.” should not be relied upon as advice or construed as providing recommendations of any kind. It is

ad
your responsibility to confirm and decide which trades to make. Trade only with risk capital; that is, trade with money that, if lost, will not
adversely impact your lifestyle and your ability to meet your financial obligations. Past results are no indication of future performance. In no

Tr
event should the content of this correspondence be construed as an express or implied promise or guarantee.
“TTW Trading Services Ltd.” is not responsible for any losses incurred as a result of using any of our trading strategies. Loss-limiting strategies

TW
such as stop loss orders may not be effective because market conditions or technological issues may make it impossible to execute such
orders. Likewise, strategies using combinations of options and/or futures positions such as “spread” or “straddle” trades may be just as risky as
simple long and short positions. Information provided in this correspondence is intended solely for informational purposes and is obtained from
,T
sources believed to be reliable. Information is in no way guaranteed. No guarantee of any kind is implied or possible where projections of future
conditions are attempted.

Iceberg Definition

es
ic
rv
Se
• On financial exchanges, an iceberg order is a limit order where only a fraction of the total order
size (display quantity) is shown in the limit order book (LOB) at any one time (peak), with the

g
remainder of volume hidden (Christensen and Woodmansey, 2013).

in
ad
When the peak is executed, the next part of the iceberg’s hidden volume (tranche or refill) gets
displayed in the LOB. This process is repeated until the initial order is fully traded or cancelled.

Tr
The hidden volume, although not being directly observed, is de facto present in the LOB and
hence can be traded against. This makes the detection of hidden liquidity a desirable goal for
TW
interested parties, e.g. traders and market makers.

Se
• Bookmap generates the iceberg indications based on difference between the
actual pending order offered at that price level and the actual number of orders

g
that transacted at that price level, at that specific moment.

in
ad
• Larger Players use hidden orders or IceBergs to conseal their intent to trade at

Tr
that price level; their large limit order do not display in the LOB. Therefore,
these hidden orders do not skew the aucion imbalance.

TW
Can act as absorption at that price level, with lack of liquidity in LOB.
