Aggressors are like those traders who straight-up YOLO their way into buying and selling at whatever the market's poppin' at. 📈💥

Instead of putting in limit orders and chillin', these guys snatch up the current market ask price or yeet their stuff at the current bid price.

Since they're always buying contracts on the spot, they get that instant gratification and their orders are done ASAP. 🔥

They're out here making fast moves, selling lower and buying higher, basically scaring off other traders and vacuuming up the market's liquidity like it's nobody's business. 😎

Meanwhile, the chill peeps, aka passive traders, are out there adding liquidity by laying down bids and offers that might take a hot minute to go through.

What's Aggressors' vibe? 🕺

Aggressors are all about checking out the pricing vibes in a market that's got orders scattered across different levels.

The top-tier bid and offer prices will set that lit bid-ask spread.

The spread's spicy level will totally switch up based on how wild the market's going.

And yeah, the available contracts for buying or selling could be all over the place too.

So if the bid-ask spread on EUR/USD is 1M units at 1.1010 / 1.1012, an aggressor is like, “Let’s goooo!” and snatches up 1M units at 1.1012 ask or dumps 1M units at 1.1010 bid like instantly. 🚀

The laid-back passive trader? They might be feelin' generous and offer up 1.1011 for EUR/USD.

The whole passive trading scene tightens up spreads and loads up markets with liquidity, but aggression? Nah, it’s snatching liquidity like a thief in the night. 🕵️‍♂️

How do Aggressors shake up market liquidity?

Market peeps got their eyes on the order book, which is basically a playlist of all the current bids and offers, and some ain’t even near the current jam in the market.

Based on that earlier jam, the best EUR/USD market price is 1M units at 1.1010.

You might see some bids just chillin’ below that track, like 2M units for 1.1009 or 3M units at 1.1008.

Meanwhile, offers could be sky-high above the best ask. 🙌

If the best offer is rockin’ at 1.1012, higher vibes might wanna sell 3M units at 1.1013 or 2M units at 1.1014.

With aggressive moves in the house, these guys keep selling lower and buying higher, cranking up the volatility knob, making markets all shaky as other traders get booted. 📉😅
