Market depth describes a market's capacity to accommodate reasonably sizable market orders without materially affecting the security's price. Market depth relates to trading within a single securities and takes into account the total volume and breadth of open orders, bids, and offers. The depth of the market is typically correlated with the number of buy and sell orders, assuming that these orders are distributed reasonably evenly around the security's current market price.
