What you can do in the Liquidation Heatmap tab
The Liquidation Heatmap is its own tab, and you can also add it as a layer in the Charts tab. It draws estimated liquidation density at each price level over time, on the same price scale as the candles. No exchange publishes these levels, so they are modeled estimates, and the indicator is described as modeled. The liquidity heatmap (the Orderbook Heatmap) is its own tab: resting orders there, estimated forced closes here.
Features
- 01
Modeled liquidation levels
Estimated liquidation density by price over time. Brighter bands mean more estimated liquidations at that price. These are model estimates, not orders on a book.
- 02
Labeled as modeled
In Charts the indicator is described as modeled levels, not recorded events, so you always know what you are looking at.
- 03
Not the Orderbook Heatmap
Same idea, different job. The Orderbook Heatmap is a separate tab and shows recorded resting orders. The Liquidation Heatmap is its own tab, and also a layer in Charts, and shows modeled liquidation levels.
- 04
A layer in Charts
Add it to a chart from the Indicators library, with your other layers. It counts as one of the chart's eight layers.
- 05
Tune the layer
Open the layer's settings to set its colours and sliders such as Threshold, Fade, Max Distance and Strength, plus the Origin Mode and Theme.
Use cases
How traders use it
- 01
Two views
The Orderbook Heatmap tab and a chart with the Liquidation Heatmap on BTC, same time frame, to compare resting orders with estimated liquidation levels.
- 02
Around price
Check where the brightest estimated bands sit above and below current price.
Who it's for
- Derivatives traders who want to see estimated liquidation levels next to price.
- Traders who already use the Orderbook Heatmap and want a second view of the same coin.
- Newer traders who want a liquidation map that says plainly what is modeled and what is not.
