PATTERN · ORDERBOOK — WATCHES ONE SIDE
Stacked Book
A run of near-identical volumes
FIRES WHEN
Fires when several consecutive levels carry near-identical volume — a stacked, deliberate book.
A stack is a run of consecutive levels carrying near-identical volume — books do not grow organically into neat rows. Stacks are usually placed by one algorithm, at once, with intent.
HOW TRADERS READ IT
A stacked bid book reads as manufactured support (or an invitation to sell into); a stacked offer book the reverse. The tell is the pull: a stack that vanishes in one tick was decoration, not demand. Replay the moment to see whether the stack absorbed anything before it moved.
SETTINGS
| Setting | What it does | e.g. |
|---|---|---|
| Side | Which half of the book this pattern watches | BID / OFFER |
| Depth | Average over the top 5 or top 10 levels | 5 / 10 |
| Max variance % | How much the volumes may differ and still count as a stack | 10 |
| Min run length · optional | Consecutive levels required (leave empty for 3) | 3 |
| Auto-watch after eaten % · optional | Optional: when the alerted level loses this % of its volume, a Wall Eaten watch is created for you automatically |
Max variance decides how strict “identical” is — tighten it toward 5% for machine-perfect stacks, loosen it to catch sloppier ladders.
CHAINED WATCH
If you set “auto-watch after eaten %”, the system arms a Wall Eaten watch on the alerted level for you the moment this pattern fires. It appears in your rules list like any other rule — created by the system, deactivatable like the rest.
THE ALERT
Every alert lands in Telegram with a Replay link that opens the book at the exact firing moment.
