# Studies (/market-data/studies)



A study reads market data and returns one calculated result.

| Study       | Result                       |
| ----------- | ---------------------------- |
| `spread`    | Best bid/ask spread          |
| `depth`     | Available orderbook depth    |
| `imbalance` | Bid and ask depth imbalance  |
| `slippage`  | Estimated execution slippage |
| `vamp`      | Volume-adjusted midpoint     |
| `cvd`       | Cumulative volume delta      |

## Spread [#spread]

```bash
mlab study spread \
  --provider mmt \
  --exchange bybitf \
  --symbol BTC \
  --depth 20
```

## Slippage [#slippage]

```bash
mlab study slippage \
  --provider mmt \
  --exchange bybitf \
  --symbol BTC \
  --side buy \
  --notional 100000 \
  --depth 100
```

## CVD [#cvd]

```bash
mlab study cvd \
  --provider mmt \
  --exchange bybitf \
  --symbol BTC \
  --timeframe 60 \
  --from <UTC_DATETIME> \
  --to <UTC_DATETIME> \

Add `--output json` when another program will consume the result.
