As we can see in the above example, the market price must obviously be the same as the price in the trading system, because the Parity Engine is showing a 50%/50% buy/sell bias

In this example, the session price and the market price have diverged (check the Central bank window below). Therefore the Parity Engine has reset the AutoTransact bias to a 39%/61% buy/sell bias. This means that the customers on the AutoTransact system will have a tendency to sell, until the market moves back to parity with the actual market.

It is important to remember that trading session liquidity can still cause market volatility!
