How a Trading Day Actually Works

Walk through a single ASX trading day - from empty order book at dawn to closing auction at 4pm.

An empty order book at 10:00am. By 4:12pm it has processed millions of orders, set prices, and settled trades. Eleven chapters covering ASX trading phases, matching engines, spreads, market makers, circuit breakers, and why ETF prices stay honest.
