Main Chart

Main chart elements:

  • Heatmap
  • Volume Dots and Bars
  • Best Bid and Ask
  • Volume Bars

The Heatmap visually represents both current and historical liquidity in the order book.

You can see the scale of the Heatmap in the toolbar.

  • The redder the colour, the higher the liquidity.
  • Colder (or bluer) colours – ending with dark blue – indicate lower liquidity.
  • You can also change the intensity of the heatmap colours or use greyscale.
