Why are order books and depth charts even visible if they're complete bullshit?

I "know" how to read these, but like how do you even make sense of them and get insight out of them?

Sell walls are the only useful metric I get from volume charts. If there's a lot of volume to sell at a certain price and not too much buy pressure, the price will probably tank when it reaches the wall.

If you Market sold a million link you'd flash crash it to sub 10. That would be kinda cool to see lol

bigger side is supposed to indicate the direction from which winds will blow, walls are supposed to be counterindicators, and so on, but this shit means fuck all because orders can be opened and closed at will in milliseconds with no cooldown or penalty of any sort

>>29812114
I guess that makes sense. How reliable is it though, especially with cancelling?

>>29812178
That's what I've noticed, you can just cancel and immediately influence the order book. So how is there any meaning since it's non-committal?

they’re relevant to the exchange you’re trading in. your order will be part of that book so it is useful info. it is however useless to analyze the market since there are so many CExes and DEXes.

all of the buy orders would be filled. assuming no bots were triggered the only market buy orders remaining would be ones existing for a price much lower than expected.

if no one is buying what youre selling, it is worth precisely zero, same logic.

Don't the existence of trading bots completely invalidate depth charts?

the ability to open and close limits in milliseconds with no cooldown is not good

They give approximate movements of price. Zoom out on the book.
