Bookmap
Liquidity and orderbook visualization. Heatmap, iceberg detection.
Overview
Bookmap is a market visualization platform that revolutionized how traders view liquidity and orderbook data. The platform renders the full depth of the orderbook as a real-time heatmap, making it possible to see large limit orders, iceberg orders, and liquidity shifts that are invisible on traditional charts.
Founded by Tsachi Galanos, Bookmap has become the standard tool for traders who rely on orderflow and liquidity analysis. The platform excels at detecting spoofing, absorption, and iceberg orders, giving traders an edge in understanding market microstructure.
