It depends on the instrument you subscribe to. When you subscribe to an instrument, you choose tick size and also size granularity.

Tick size of Digital Currencies can be very small. A pips of Bitcoin is 1 satoshi which is just 0.00000001 Bitcoin. Bookmap offers to specify a different pips, which defines what range of prices will be aggregated and displayed as a single price level. A recommended value is 0.01-0.1% of the current price. For instance, if the price of BTC_USD is $10,000, choose a pips between 1 and 10

Bookmap displays sizes as integers (a number which is not a fraction). The Size granularity allows to specify the minimum size to be displayed. For instance, if the total size of a price level is 0.043 BTC, it will be displayed as 0 with Size granularity 1 or 10, as 4 with Size granularity 100, and as 43 with Size granularity 1000.

Technically it’s possible, Bookmap consolidates market data from several US stocks exchanges. But prices of the same Digital Currencies pair may be very different on 2 exchanges. If you wish to suggest group of exchanges with similar balanced rates, please send us email to [email protected]. Note that you can use Bookmap’s Correlation Tracker to compare the price changes of two instruments.
