PATTERN · ORDERBOOK — WATCHES ONE SIDE
Volume Wall
A level grows far beyond the book average
FIRES WHEN
Fires when one price level holds more than N× the average volume of its side — a wall just went up.
A wall is a single price level holding far more volume than the rest of its side. Walls appear when someone is willing to defend a price — genuine accumulation, distribution, or a level meant to be seen.
HOW TRADERS READ IT
A bid wall under the price often acts as support while it holds; an offer wall above caps rallies. The signal is rarely the wall itself — it is what happens next: walls that hold, walls that get eaten, and walls that vanish untouched each tell a different story.

SETTINGS
| Setting | What it does | e.g. |
|---|---|---|
| Side | Which half of the book this pattern watches | BID / OFFER |
| Multiplier (N×) | How many times the side average counts as a wall | 3 |
| Depth | Average over the top 5 or top 10 levels | 5 / 10 |
| Auto-watch after eaten % · optional | Optional: when the alerted level loses this % of its volume, a Wall Eaten watch is created for you automatically |
The multiplier is the main dial: higher means fewer, stronger walls; lower catches earlier builds but alerts more often.
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.
