Frequently asked questions
What does the Bitcoin order book show?
It shows how many buy and sell orders are resting at each price right now. The MarketSurfer depth heatmap records the resting orders on OKX perpetual futures every minute and layers them over time, so you can see what piled up at which price and when it disappeared.
Can I see the Bitcoin book for free?
The latest hour of Bitcoin is open without logging in. Other coins and longer views open on the paid member screen. The recorded symbols are chosen by the bot in order of OKX perpetual futures turnover, so some coins may not be on the list.
Is a large resting order a reason to buy or sell?
We do not read it that way. A resting order can be cancelled at any time before it fills, so MarketSurfer does not judge who placed it or whether to buy or sell, and only shows what is resting.
