Cluster Chart

Cluster Chart
The image above shows the general view of the cluster chart with added historical data on large limit order walls from the order book. In addition to standard candles, the cluster chart displays market order volume at each price step, providing excellent opportunities for detailed analysis of buyer and seller reactions at every price level. Clusters help you understand whether buyers or sellers currently dominate the market. Cluster Btc allows you to combine the cluster chart with the historical movement of large limit orders. Whales enter the market using limit orders, and tracking their movement can significantly improve your trading performance.

Initial Setup

Cryptocurrency selection
In the search field, you can type the name of the desired cryptocurrency for quick selection of the trading pair. Click the star icon to add this pair to your favorites list. The second field lets you choose one of the supported exchanges: Binance, Binance Futures, Bybit, Bybit Futures, Bitfinex, Coinbase, BitMEX, HTX, HTX Fut., OKX, OKX Fut., Bitstamp, HitBTC, MEXC, KuCoin, Bitget. The third field allows you to set the desired timeframe.

Scaling Presets

Chart scale Chart scaling is performed by holding the left mouse button and dragging along the time or price axes. After scaling the chart, you can save a preset. The preset management panel is located at the bottom of the window. To save a new scaling variant, click the green plus icon. You can store multiple presets and switch between them. The chart will always load using your most recently selected scale preset.

Price Step

The price step determines the price range grouped into a single cluster. When you click the "Auto" button, the price step is automatically adjusted based on current market conditions, but you can manually customize this parameter as needed.

“Spot Sum” and “Derivatives Sum” Charts

Spot exchanges sum
A unique cluster chart mode. Aggregates all limit and market orders to create a unified cluster chart from the most liquid spot exchanges: Binance (USDT, TUSD, FDUSD), Coinbase, Bitfinex, Bitstamp, HTX, OKX, Bybit, MEXC, KuCoin, Bitget. This allows you to assess the entire spot market on a single chart—including all limit walls and market orders—regardless of the exchange they originated from.
You have access to multiple analytical tools, including the “Delta” and cumulative “Cumulative Delta” indicators, which show buyer/seller dominance across the entire cryptocurrency market.
“Derivatives Sum” – a chart mode similar to “Spot Sum,” but constructed using futures and other derivatives markets. It aggregates all limit and market orders into a unified derivatives cluster chart from the following platforms: Binance Futures, BitMEX, Huobi Futures, OKX Fut., Bybit Futures.
To activate this mode, select “Spot Sum” or “Derivatives Sum” in the exchange field.

Aggregated Spot Cluster Charts for Whales

This chart is built exclusively from large market orders, filtering out all insignificant trades. Data is aggregated from leading spot exchanges, allowing you to see the overall activity of major market participants in one place.
To launch this view, open the cluster chart mode and go to the exchange selection panel. You’ll find multiple chart options with different minimum order volume thresholds—from $25,000 to $1,000,000. You can select the appropriate filter threshold based on the instrument’s trading volume, current market activity, and your trading strategy.
Key indicators—such as volume, delta, and cumulative delta—are calculated from this filtered data. These metrics reflect only whale activity across all spot exchanges, making them especially valuable for analysis.

Cluster Configuration

Cluster types
Cluster Btc offers several types of cluster charts.

Cluster Type: Buy | Sell.
The cluster is split into two parts: the green bar shows buy volume, the red bar shows sell volume. Numerical values follow the same order—buys first, then sells.
buy sell
Cluster Type: Sum.
The cluster displays the total of buys and sells.
sum
Cluster Type: Delta.
This cluster type shows the difference between buys and sells. A negative value indicates more sells; a positive value indicates more buys. The cluster color also reflects dominance—green for buys, red for sells.
delta
Cluster Type: Sum | Delta.
The first value shows total buy + sell volume; the second shows the delta (difference between them).
sum delta

Cluster Appearance Settings

Cluster appearance Using the following settings, you can customize the visual appearance of clusters to your preference.
Opacity.
When enabled, cluster opacity depends on volume value.

Adding Limit Orders from Order Book to Chart

Cluster Btc allows you to overlay historical movements of large limit order walls onto the chart. This provides powerful analytical capabilities for identifying whale behavior.
Wall settings The system automatically selects a filter coefficient to exclude small orders and display only significant limit walls. You can manually adjust the filter using the left slider to quickly find your preferred wall visibility level. The right slider controls the brightness threshold: moving it left lowers the threshold (more walls appear bright); moving it right makes only the largest orders brightly colored.
Clicking “Auto” automatically sets the wall size based on current market conditions.
Show – enables historical wall movement on the chart.
Values – displays the BTC amount of orders in each wall.

Volume Profile

Volume profile
This tool lets you select a chart area to display total traded volume at each price level. It’s a powerful instrument with significant analytical potential. Horizontal volumes reveal market interest at specific price levels, helping identify strong zones (where price finds support or resistance) and weak zones (which price moves through with little reaction).
Volume profile tool
Click the profile icon in the “Tools” panel. After configuring settings, click once on the chart to set the profile start, drag the mouse to the end point, and click again to apply the profile. If the settings panel obstructs your view, click “Hide Settings.”

Profile Type.
Sum – shows total buy + sell volume.
Buy | Sell – splits the bar: green for buys, red for sells.
Delta – shows the difference between buys and sells; bar color changes based on buyer or seller dominance.

Maximum.
Volume profile maximum
A maximum level can be added to charts and monitored across other tabs. The system offers several maximum types:
Buy+Sell – price level with highest total traded volume.
Delta – level with greatest buy/sell difference.
Delta+ – level with strongest buyer dominance.
Delta− – level with strongest seller dominance.
Buy – highest buy volume.
Sell – highest sell volume.
Track – highlights the level with your chosen color in the “Order Book” and “Volumes” tabs for easy monitoring, and extends the line to the chart’s end. You can customize line color, opacity, and add a comment.

Value Area.
Value area
Indicates the price range within which 70% of all trades occurred.
Track – highlights the zone with your chosen color in the “Order Book” and “Volumes” tabs, extends the lines to the chart’s end, and allows custom color, opacity, and comments.

Smart Multi-Exchange Volume Aggregation.
Aggregate volumes
Spot Exchanges Sum – profile built from aggregated spot exchange volumes: Binance (USDT, TUSD, FDUSD, BUSD), Coinbase, Bitfinex, Bitstamp, HTX, OKX, Bybit, MEXC, KuCoin, Bitget.
Spot Sum, Orders Above Threshold – profile built from aggregated spot volumes, including only market orders exceeding your specified filter threshold.
All-Exchange Index – uses a proprietary algorithm to weight each exchange by its trading significance and computes a unified volume profile across all spot and futures markets.
Volume aggregation produces smoother results: insignificant levels active on only one exchange are filtered out, while levels confirmed across multiple exchanges become more prominent.

Control Panel.
Profile settings buttons Default – resets settings to standard values.
Save Template – saves current parameters for future use.
Hide Settings – hides the settings panel.
All Exchanges – opens a dedicated “Volumes” tab showing this profile across all available exchanges, enabling detailed cross-exchange comparison. Show on all exchanges

“Vertical Volume” Indicator

Displays buy volume, sell volume, total sum, and delta.

“Vertical Delta” Indicator

Calculates the difference between market buy and sell orders. Delta helps identify whether buyers or sellers dominate within a specific candle.

“Cumulative Delta” Indicator

Calculates the running total of market buy minus sell orders from your selected start point. It reveals trends in buyer or seller dominance. You can choose from three bar styles:
Buys and sells aligned at the same level.
Buys above, sells below.
Chart-style, where each new bar starts at the previous bar’s close level.
You can also set a reset period for the cumulative delta to align analysis with your trading strategy.

“BID/ASK Sums” Indicator

Shows aggregated dollar values of limit orders at 1%, 3%, 5%, 8%, 20%, and 60% depths.
We aggregate order book data across supported exchanges, letting you evaluate overall limit-order supply/demand balance across the entire market on a single indicator.
Four aggregation modes are available:
Spot Exchanges – Crypto vs. Stablecoins.
Displays total Bids and Asks across all spot exchanges for a given crypto vs. stablecoin pairs.
Spot Exchanges – BTC + Altcoins vs. Stablecoins.
Aggregates limit orders across all available spot pairs in the system.
Two analogous modes are available for derivatives markets:
– Specific token derivatives vs. stables
– All Bitcoin and altcoin derivatives available on the platform.
You can choose indicator granularity:
Min – uses the same timeframe as the chart (one indicator value per candle).
Max – uses a finer timeframe than the chart, showing intra-candle dynamics.
Results are displayed as a chart with values in millions of USD.

“ASK/BID Ratio” Indicator

Shows the ratio of total ASK to total BID dollar values at various order book depths (ASK $ / BID $). A ratio of 1 indicates balance; >1 indicates seller dominance; <1 indicates buyer dominance. Uses the same aggregation system as the previous indicator.
To add this indicator, open the indicator management panel.
Click the desired indicator panel, configure parameters, and click “Add Indicator.”
You can add multiple instances with different settings.
