Heatmap Basics

The Heatmap is a visual record of historical liquidity within the Order Book, showing limit buy (below current price) and limit sell (above current price) orders.

Updated in real-time, it also shows current liquidity.

It consists of a grid of blocks, each with a specific color/intensity that represent the strength of supply or demand, at that price/time.

Heatmap Intensity Slider

Sometimes you may wish to filter the Heatmap data.

This is achieved by using the intensity slider in the top bar.

The slider's colors serve as a legend for the Heatmap.

The darker color on the left represents the color used for blocks with a smaller value on the Heatmap.

The lighter color on the right represents the color used for blocks with a larger value on the Heatmap.

• Using Left handle, you can filter out blocks with a smaller value from the Heatmap.
• Right handle helps you view the blocks with a larger value, by increasing their visibility.
