Live crypto order book and trade tape
The order book (DOM) lists every resting limit order to buy and sell by price; the tape shows the trades that hit the market right now. In DiTi the futures and spot books of one coin sit side by side, with the tape and clusters one click away.
What you get in DiTi
- Futures and spot books side by side — Pro panel → Order book; on mobile, the Order book button on the chart.
- Order book walls are highlighted, and large spot orders show up in the futures book too.
- Trade tape — Pro panel → Tape: large market trades and clusters as they print.
- CVD on the chart — the running difference between market buys and market sells.
- A book that stops changing is checked against the exchange and rebuilt if it has drifted, so a frozen book is never shown as live.
- Binance and Bybit, plus OKX, Bitget, Gate.io, KuCoin and Hyperliquid — the exchange switches with one button.
How to read the order book
- Spread — the gap between the best bid and the best ask. A wide spread means a thin coin that is easy to push.
- Imbalance — noticeably more size on the bid side than on the ask side, or the other way round. It changes by the minute, so it describes the moment, not the trend.
- Walls — a level several times larger than its neighbours. Price often slows or reacts as it gets close; the wall may hold, get eaten or be pulled.
- Size relative to the coin — $100K in BTC is a rounding error, in a coin trading $20M a day it is a real wall. DiTi sizes orders in minutes of the coin’s normal trading.
How to read the tape
The book shows intentions; the tape shows what actually happened. A run of large market buys means buyers are the aggressors right now; a run of sells — sellers. Watch the tape when price reaches a wall: if trades keep hitting it and its size melts, the wall is being eaten; if the hits get smaller and the size stays, it is holding. Clusters group the volume by price, so you can see where the most trading went through.
Why spot next to futures
Spot is the coin itself, futures are leveraged contracts. A big spot order often matters more for price, and a move that starts on spot is a different story from one driven by leveraged positions. That is why the two books sit together — handy for Binance futures traders and scalpers alike.
In Telegram
The /watch command in the bot @ditialerts_bot sends a one-off notification when a wall of your size appears near the price or one side of the book becomes several times heavier; conditions are checked every 20 seconds. It describes the market right now — not a trade call.

FAQ
What is a crypto order book?
A live list of all resting limit orders to buy (bids) and sell (asks) a coin by price: how much people are willing to buy below the market and sell above it.
What is the difference between the order book and the tape?
The order book shows orders that are waiting; the tape (time and sales) shows trades that have already happened. Together they show both intentions and actual aggression.
Where can I watch a live order book for free?
In DiTi: Binance and Bybit futures and spot books next to the chart, on desktop, mobile and in the Telegram mini app. Every section is free after signing in with Telegram.
Why does an order book sometimes look frozen?
Quiet coins can go many seconds without changes. DiTi compares a quiet book with the exchange’s best prices and rebuilds it if they differ, so a stale book is not shown as live.
