A large order that only shows a small piece on the book at a time, replenishing as it fills. Designed to hide size.
An iceberg shows a small piece of a large order and quietly replenishes it as it fills, so the book never reveals the real size. You usually detect one by its behaviour rather than its appearance: a modest-looking level that absorbs far more than it should have been able to, again and again, is somebody working size they do not want you to see.
Every idea on this page is something you can see on a live tape rather than take on faith. The board draws real executed trades as an army: buyers advance from the left, sellers from the right, and the glowing line between them is the price. Here is how to read it.
Now go watch the word happen. The live board is free for XRP — no account, no sign-up.
