ChartsPod DOM Ladder: Market Coverage and Data Limits Explained
A DOM view shows the order book by price level. Its usefulness depends on how many levels, how fast it updates, and which markets have book data.
Short answer
ChartsPod lists a live L2 order book; whether it's laid out as a DOM ladder should be checked in the terminal. Coverage questions: which markets have book data, how many levels are shown, update speed, grouping options and how resyncs after disconnects appear. Live books have no history unless the tool stores them — use the heatmap for review.
What it shows
ChartsPod's public pages do not name this view explicitly; check whether it is offered and use the closest equivalent if not.
| Element | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Levels shown | Visible depth |
| Update speed | Freshness |
| Grouping | Ticks per row |
| History | Live only unless stored |
Settings to check first
Common first-session mistakes:
- Assuming more depth than shown
- Ignoring resync jumps
- Expecting DOM history
Worked example
Illustrative: a level that 'vanished' was beyond the displayed depth after price moved, not pulled.
