What you can do in the Orderbook Heatmap tab
The Orderbook Heatmap draws resting order-book liquidity as colour over time, behind the candles. Bright bands are big size at a price. Thin areas are gaps.
Merge the futures exchanges you choose into one view, across 93 instruments: crypto, tokenized stocks and ETFs, and commodities such as gold. Scroll back and see how liquidity built up or cleared last week, not only right now.
It shows where liquidity sat and how big. It is not a forecast.
For any other coin, the live order book merged from the exchanges you choose shows depth right now.

How to use it
- Open the Orderbook Heatmap tab and press the pencil on the asset tab to pick an instrument from the recorded assets.
- Pick a time frame: 1m, 15m, 1h or 1D.
- Open Field settings (the Heatmap button) and tick the exchanges that feed the picture.
- Set the sensitivity with a preset (High, Med or Low) or your own floor and ceiling.
- Check size with colour. Brighter colour means bigger size at that price.
- Check the time frame. How long did a band last, and was it still there when price arrived? Candles run through the heatmap, so you see both together.
- Turn on the Orderbook Profile to see resting size by price level. Pick Live, 4H, 1D, 3D or 1W.
- Scroll back through months of history to see how liquidity built up or cleared in earlier sessions.
- Compare with the live multi-exchange order book for depth right now, or the liquidation heatmap for modeled liquidation levels.
It describes where liquidity sat, not where price will go.

FAQ
Orderbook Heatmap FAQ
What is a liquidity heatmap?
A chart that shows resting order-book liquidity as colour over time. Price runs along one axis and time along the other. Bright bands are large resting size at a price; faint areas are thin. The Orderbook Heatmap merges depth from the exchanges you choose and puts candles on top.
How do you read a liquidity heatmap?
Look at colour first: brighter means more size sat at that price. Then look at time: how long a band lasted and whether it was still there when price arrived. Candles run through the heatmap so you see both together. It describes where liquidity sat, not where price will go.
Can you see historical order book liquidity, and how far back does it go?
Yes, on 93 instruments: 43 crypto, 44 stocks, ETFs and tokens, and 6 commodities, including gold. Scroll back through months of history to see how liquidity built up or cleared. History is recorded continuously and keeps growing; how far back it goes depends on when each instrument's recording began. The full list is on the tokenized stocks page.
Is there a liquidity heatmap for gold and stocks?
Yes. The same heatmap covers gold (XAU), silver and energy commodities, tokenized stocks such as NVDA and ETFs such as SPY, with months of history. See the gold liquidity heatmap.
What's the difference between a liquidity heatmap and a liquidation heatmap?
A liquidity heatmap shows resting orders that sat in the order book. A liquidation heatmap shows modeled levels where leveraged positions could be liquidated, not real orders. The Liquidation Heatmap is its own tab, and you can also add it as a layer in Charts. More in liquidity heatmap vs liquidation heatmap.
