The visualizations I have created have been extremely informative and have been used by traders and analysts to identify potential risks and opportunities and make informed decisions about their trading strategies.Developing these tools It has been a great experience to be part of the process of contributing to and providing important information to the trading community. In addition to liquidity visualization, we also worked on data analysis for various markets, including the Korean market.
