# Order flow panels Order flow panels sit next to your charts and show what the market is doing right now: the book, every print, the big trades, liquidations and a few live stats. They follow the chart you are working on, and the ones you open are saved with your layout. ## Opening panels Open **Panels** in the ticker bar. Each row opens or closes a panel, and the pin on the right shows which are open. The groups that matter here are **Lists** (Watchlist, Scanner), **Order flow** (Orderbook, Tape, Footprint, Trade & Liquidations) and **Stats**. Panels open in columns on the right of the charts. **Add a panel below** stacks another one in the same column, × closes it, and you can drag the column edge between 240 and 640 px. Panels show the market of the active chart, except a Tape you have unpinned. ## Orderbook **Panels › Order flow › Orderbook** has three tabs: - **Book**: Price, Amount and Total, asks on top, bids below, with the last price and the spread in the middle. A bar under the ladder compares bid and ask value over the 20 nearest levels on each side. - **Delta**: Price, Added and Subtracted, the change in resting size over the last 60 seconds. - **DOM**: Vol, Bids, Price and Asks on a continuous price ladder, empty levels included, with the volume traded at each level. **Grouping** sets the price step. The gear holds **Show cumulative** (on by default) and **Highlight large orders** at 2×, 3×, 5× or 10× the median size (3× by default). **Re-centre** returns to the price. Hyperliquid streams 20 levels per side, Binance more. The [DOM ladder](#dom-ladder) lesson explains how to read it. Sizes can be shown in USD or in coin. For BTC, grouping goes up to 1000, and **Scroll to center** brings the ladder back to the price. ## Tape **Panels › Order flow › Tape** is live time & sales for the chart's market, up to 250 rows. The pace gauge in the header shows trades per second over the last 10 seconds next to the 1-minute average. Two tags stand out: - **BLOCK**: one print at or above the block threshold ($100K by default). - **SWEEP**: same-side prints across at least 3 price levels within 500 ms, totalling at least $50K. In **Tape Settings** you can change those thresholds, pick BASE or QUOTE units, set a **Min Size** filter, turn on **Whale** highlights (from $200K), show **Blocks/Sweeps only**, or turn on **Reconstructed tape** to merge the fills of one order into a single print. **Sync to Main Chart** is on by default. Turn it off and the tape is **Pinned** to its market while you switch charts. This panel is not the Tape interval in the interval menu, which turns the chart itself into live 1-second candles with trade bubbles (see [Tape mode](#interface)). The panel shows sizes with thousands separators and colours each row by trade-size tier. ## Trades and Large trades The bottom dock has **Trades** and **Large trades** tabs: Age, Side, Price, Size, USD and Time. Filter Both, Buys or Sells, set **Whales ≥ $X** on Trades, and switch between Live and Paused. Large trades keeps only the big prints. More on the bottom dock in [the interface page](#interface). ## Trade & Liquidations **Panels › Order flow › Trade & Liquidations** shows large trades on top and liquidations below for the chart's market and any you add with **+**. Each section has four amount **Thresholds** with their own buy colour, sell colour and sound. Defaults are $50K / $125K / $500K / $5M for trades and $25K / $50K / $100K / $1M for liquidations. **Range** multiplies every threshold at once. Each section keeps the latest 150 events, and either feed can be turned off. ## Liquidations You find liquidations in the **Liquidations** tab of the bottom dock, in the lower half of Trade & Liquidations, and as the **Liquidations** indicator under **Indicators › Order flow**. All of them come from Binance. Hyperliquid does not publish a public liquidation stream, so on Hyperliquid markets these views stay empty. ## Footprint **Panels › Order flow › Footprint** shows the current bar of the active chart as a Sells | Buys | Price ladder built from trades. Modes: **Split, Delta, Total, Cluster, Imbalance Only** and **Ladder**. The settings can show 3:1 imbalances and set ticks per row. Background in the [footprint](#volume-footprint) lesson. ## Stats panels Under **Panels › Stats**: - **Market Stats**: trades per second, **Book depth** (bid vs ask size within ±2 % of mid), **Volume flow** (taker buys vs sells, last 5 minutes) and **Details**: Mark, Index, Basis, Funding, Funding APR, Open interest, 24h volume and 24h change. The [derivatives data](#derivatives-data) lesson explains these. - **Liquidity Stats**: USD resting within ±2 % of mid on each side over the last hour. It samples every 3 seconds only while open, so it starts empty. - **Volume Stats**: 24h volume against the previous 24h, in 15-minute buy and sell bars, or total volume where the venue does not publish the taker split. ## Events **Panels › News & events › Events** is the market calendar for the coming weeks. It lists US macro releases taken from the official schedules (FOMC rate decisions from the Fed; CPI and payrolls from the BLS; JOLTS; GDP, PCE and Core PCE from the BEA; ISM; weekly jobless claims from the DOL) and crypto expiries worked out by rule: Deribit BTC and ETH options (weekly, monthly and quarterly, 08:00 UTC) and CME bitcoin and ether futures (the last Friday of the month, 16:00 London, moved for holidays). - Tabs: the current market, **All markets** or **Major only**. Filters: **All**, **Macro**, **Expiries**. - Rows are grouped by day. Each shows an importance bar (1 to 3), the time in the chart's time zone (daylight-saving changes included), the event with a short note, and a countdown. - The next major event also sits in the status bar as a countdown, for example **FOMC in 8d 1h**; click it to open the calendar. This is a schedule with countdowns only. There are no forecast, previous or actual values. ## Scanner **Panels › Lists › Scanner** computes live 5-minute order flow for a set of markets in your browser, from the moment the panel opens. The columns are **Symbol** (click to open it on the chart), **Last**, **Delta 5m** (taker buy minus sell, in coins), **CVD slope** (coins per minute), **Stacked imb** (longest run of 3+ rows with a 3:1 imbalance), **Big prints 5m**, **Rel vol** (5-minute notional against the 24h average) and **Pace** (trades per second, last 10 seconds). Hover a title for its definition, or hide it from **Columns**. Fill it with **+ Add symbol**, **Include watchlist** or **Top by 24h volume** (6, 12 or 24), and filter by venue. At most 12 markets stream at once. The rest show "—". Click any column title to sort. The filters include **Stacked imbalance only**, with +/− steppers and **Reset**, and the **Columns** menu has its own **Reset**. ## Watchlist **Panels › Lists › Watchlist** (**Alt+Shift+W**) holds several named lists. The current one is the same list as the ★ in symbol search. **Alt+W** on a chart adds its market, and Space / Shift+Space step through the list. Columns are Symbol, Price and **OI 1h**: the open-interest change over an hour, or the 24h price change where the venue has no OI history. **Import from TradingView** takes a pasted TradingView list export. Signed in, lists sync with your [Himbit ID](#account). The toolbar has one list switcher with the number of markets, **Import** and **Add symbol** as icons, and you can sort by any column. Besides your own lists, hotlists show the top 25 **Gainers**, **Losers**, **Most active**, **Biggest OI change** and **Extreme funding**, filtered by venue and refreshed every 30 seconds. The column picker adds 24h %, 24h volume, OI, OI 1H / 24h and funding, in the order you choose. ## On a phone On the Chart tab, open **More (…) › Panels**. Each panel opens full screen with a back button. The sheet under the chart pulls up to a quick **Order Book** and **Stats** view.
