The widgets can be pulled to adjust the size and restored to the default size again through the Reset size button.

Then, you can select as many trading pairs as you would like from all the available trading pairs on Bitfinex. The pairs can be easily accessed and edited anytime via the settings.
What is Depth Chart
The Depth Chart is market depth visualised and labelled so you can see total order quantity, price and slippage at every level of the order book. Use the depth chart to easily:
- assess market supply and demand at a glance;
- calculate potential trade costs on the fly;
- identify significant support and resistance levels.
The Depth Chart will be available on your Bitfinex trading page by default, and you can also choose to remove it using “Customise Layout” as described in the previous section above:
- X-axis: Price;
- Y-axis: Total amount of orders;
- Green lines: Bid orders;
- Red lines: Ask orders.
You can also use the precision buttons on the top right tab to get book depth at various precision levels:
- Set Single Tick: This will display 1 price point on each side.
- Set Double Ticks: This will display 2 price points on each side.
- Set Volume Based Ticks: This will indicate significant support and resistance levels dynamically on each side.
Useful Tips:
- Hover the main chart area to see quantity, price and slippage at different points in the order book.
- Click + / - or scroll the chart area to zoom in and out of the order book and see slippage and significant support and resistance levels at different market depths.
- Using the Customise Layout option, you can render the depth chart vertically or in your preferred dimensions.
