What this question trains
This question practices basic market microstructure knowledge, especially the measures traders use to judge how easily a stock can be bought or sold without moving the price too much. Candidates need to understand the role of trading volume, volume weighted pricing, and order book depth, and how each one helps traders think about liquidity, market impact, and execution quality. Interviewers ask this because sales and trading roles require awareness of how activity in the market affects pricing, trade size, and the practicality of getting orders done efficiently.
