How Do I Read the Order Book in Pluang Pro Mode?
The order book in Pluang PRO Mode is a live, real-time display of every active buy and sell order for a crypto asset, shown 10 price levels deep on each side. Reading it starts with the two sides: the bid side (buyers, usually shown in green) lists the prices people are willing to pay, and the ask side (sellers, usually red) lists the prices people are willing to sell at. The single highest bid and the single lowest ask sit at the top of each side — the best bid and best ask — and the gap between them is the spread, which represents the cost of trading right now. A book with plenty of volume stacked at each level points to a liquid, easy-to-trade market, while a thin book points to the opposite. Pluang's PRO Mode order book covers 100+ crypto coins and refreshes continuously as orders are placed, modified, or cancelled, giving you deeper market visibility than the simple LITE view.
- Bid side vs. ask side. The bid (buy) side shows the prices and quantities buyers are offering; the ask (sell) side shows what sellers are asking. Each row typically has a price, an amount available at that price, and a running cumulative total, so you can see how much volume sits between the current price and any level.
- Best bid, best ask, and the spread. The top row on each side is the "best" price — the highest bid and the lowest ask. The distance between them is the spread. A narrow spread signals high liquidity and a low cost to trade immediately; a wide spread means fewer resting orders and a higher cost to get filled straight away.
- Market depth and "walls". Depth is how much volume rests at each price level. A large cluster of orders at one price (a "wall") can hint at strong support (a bid wall) or resistance (an ask wall), but walls can be pulled before they ever fill — treat them as signals, not guarantees.
- It updates in real time. The order book redraws continuously as participants add, change, or cancel orders, so what you see reflects the live market at that instant rather than a snapshot.
- Pluang PRO Mode specs. The book shows 10 price levels on each side (bid and ask) and is available for 100+ crypto coins. PRO Mode itself has no subscription fee — you only pay trading fees when an Advanced Order executes.
- Accessing it. The order book lives in PRO Mode, which sits alongside Pluang's simpler LITE Mode. You switch between the two on the crypto trading screen in the app; the exact placement of the LITE/PRO toggle can vary by app version.
Related questions:
Q: What is the spread in the order book?
The spread is the gap between the highest bid (the best buy price) and the lowest ask (the best sell price). It represents the cost of executing a trade immediately, because a market buy has to meet the lowest ask and a market sell has to meet the highest bid. A narrow spread points to a liquid market with lots of resting orders; a wide spread points to thinner liquidity and a higher effective cost to trade right away.
Q: What does market depth or a large order "wall" mean?
Market depth is how much buy and sell volume is resting at each price level. A thick, deep book absorbs large trades with little price movement, while a thin book moves more on the same volume. A "wall" is an unusually large order at one level that can suggest support or resistance, but because orders can be cancelled before they fill, walls are best read as signals rather than certainties.
Q: How deep is Pluang's PRO Mode order book?
Pluang's PRO Mode order book displays 10 price levels on each side — 10 bid levels and 10 ask levels — for each supported asset, across 100+ crypto coins. This gives you a clear view of the volume resting near the current price on both the buy and sell sides, which is more market detail than the default LITE interface shows.
Q: Where do I see my own pending orders?
The order book shows aggregate market depth from all participants rather than singling out your individual orders. To review, modify, or cancel the orders you have placed yourself, use your open orders list in the Pluang app. Any of your Advanced Orders that are still unexecuted can be adjusted or cancelled there, and any assets or IDR they lock are released when you cancel.
Q: Does the order book guarantee the price I will get?
No. The order book reflects the orders resting at each moment, but it changes continuously, and for Advanced Orders your execution price is based on the underlying exchange price, which can differ from what the chart or book last showed. Pluang's order logic protects Limit and Stop orders against significant slippage, but a book is a live picture, not a promise of a specific fill price.
