What Is Liquidity Trading?
Liquidity trading involves analyzing where buy and sell orders cluster on an exchange’s order book. By pinpointing high-volume zones and watching how orders get absorbed or lifted, traders can anticipate short-term price movements and locate optimal entry and exit points with precision.
Traditional charting hides these subtleties. Bookmap’s heatmaps, bubbles, and depth visualization reveal the true market structure behind every price tick.
Why Real-Time Order Flow Heatmaps Matter
Most charts only show filled trades, masking where liquidity actually sits. With order flow heatmaps, you:
- Spot hidden support and resistance levels before the crowd reacts.
- Detect absorption—when large orders soak up incoming market orders without price movement.
- Identify breakout or breakdown zones by watching liquidity vanish at key price points.
These insights translate into higher win rates and tighter risk management.
