The Tape provides a high-speed, live stream of every trade executed for a specific asset. By observing the raw transaction flow, traders can identify aggressive buying or selling pressure, large institutional orders (“whales”), and subtle shifts in market momentum.

Core Interface

The Tape is structured into four primary columns to provide total transparency for every trade:
  • Price: The exact price at which the trade was executed, color-coded to indicate direction (Green for buys, Red for sells).
  • Size: The volume of the trade, which can be toggled between base asset units (e.g., BTC) or total dollar value (USD).
  • Time: The precise timestamp of the execution, down to the second.
  • Aggression Indicators: Vertical bars on the far left help visualize the intensity and frequency of incoming orders.

Symbols & Synchronization

The Tape can be configured to act as either an independent monitor or a synced companion to your main analysis workspace.
  • Symbol Selection: Click the symbol name (e.g., BTCUSDT) in the top-left corner of the Tape widget to switch to a different asset manually.
  • Sync State: Toggle the Link icon in the top right to enable or disable synchronization with the main chart.
    • Synced: Changing the symbol on your main chart will automatically update the Tape to match.
    • Unsynced: The Tape remains fixed on your chosen asset, allowing you to monitor one coin’s flow while charting another.

Filtering & Whale Tracking

To filter out market noise and focus on high-impact trades, use the built-in filtering tools located in the settings header.
  • Side Filtering: Toggle between All, Buy, or Sell orders to isolate specific market pressure.
  • Min Size: Use the slider to set a minimum threshold (e.g., $10k) to hide smaller retail transactions.
  • Whale Tracking: Quickly identify institutional activity by applying the Whales ($200k+) preset, which instantly filters for large-block executions.
Large orders that execute in rapid succession at the same price often indicate institutional accumulation or distribution. Use the Min Size filter to make these patterns easier to spot.
Large trades that are highlighted in Bold text signify exceptionally high-volume executions relative to the recent average.
