In market microstructure, why is traded volume considered more reliable than displayed volume in the Limit Order Book (LOB)?

  1. Traded volume is only updated once per minute, making it easier to analyze.
  2. Displayed volume is always larger and more significant for price direction.
  3. Displayed volume is hidden from retail traders, while traded volume is public.
  4. Traded volume represents committed capital that has already executed.
