While this can be done over a stock exchange, it can also be done elsewhere such as cryptocurrencies and prediction markets.
Low Liquidity assets
Not all tradable assets are the same. Liquidity1) is a measure of how much “room” exists to buy or sell an asset without massively moving the price.
For example, if there are tons of people with large buy & sell offers for an asset without much of a difference, that would mean there is a great deal of liquidity.
In this case, the ideal assets are those that have hardly any buy or sell offers on the books all with very wide margins.
