DOM & Liquidations Profile
A profile at the right edge of the chart: the bid or ask skew of the live order book and the long or short skew of predicted liquidations at each price level, with lines showing the age of liquidation zones.
What it is
DOM & Liquidations Profile lays out two sources on one price grid:
- the live order book (DOM) — limit buy and sell orders;
- the liquidation forecast — levels of the Predict Liquidations model where liquidations of long and short positions may cluster.
The result is drawn as horizontal histograms pinned to the right edge of the chart, like the built-in TradingView volume profile. The profile shows the current state, not history: it is redrawn as new data arrives.
What is on the chart
For each row of the grid, two differences are calculated:
- net order book — asks minus bids in this row;
- net liquidations — long liquidations minus short liquidations in this row.
| Element | Colour | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| DOM Net Bids | Teal | The row has more bids than asks. The length is the size of the skew |
| DOM Net Asks | Red | The row has more asks than bids |
| Net Long Liquidations | Dark red | More predicted long liquidations than short ones |
| Net Short Liquidations | Green | More predicted short liquidations than long ones |
| Values | Text only | The row's values: net order book and net liquidations joined by "x" |
| Long Liquidations Age, Short Liquidations Age | Red and green lines | A line through the middle of a row with a liquidation skew. It starts at the time of the oldest level of that side and runs to the right edge: the longer the line, the longer the zone has held |
The order book and liquidations each have their own length scale: order book volumes are orders of magnitude larger, and on a shared scale liquidations would not be visible. The liquidation histogram is drawn over the order book histogram.
Until data arrives, the last bar shows the markers "DOM loading" and "Liquidations loading".
Settings
| Input | Default | What it sets |
|---|---|---|
| Type | DOM + Liquidations | What to show: only the order book (DOM), only liquidations (Liquidations) or both sources |
| Units | USD | Volumes in dollars (USD) or in coins (Coin) |
| Update interval | 10s | How often to redraw the profile while new data keeps coming: 10s, 30s, 1m or 5m. The first data is shown right away |
| Visible range % | 20 | Only levels within ± this percent of the current price are counted. 0 — all levels |
| Group by | Price % | How levels are grouped into rows: rows of a fixed height in % of price (Price %) or a fixed number of rows (Rows count) |
| Rows count | 20 | Number of rows when Group by = Rows count |
| Price % | 0.1 | Row height in % of price when Group by = Price %. Row boundaries are tied to a price grid and do not shift with price |
| High, Medium, Low | High only | Which liquidation levels to count by probability. High only is recommended |
The profile is redrawn on a new bar, on the first order book or liquidation data, and after that no more often than once per Update interval.
Exchanges and plan
- The order book is available for Binance, Hyperliquid, Aster, Bybit and OKX.
- The liquidation forecast is calculated for Binance only. On other exchanges the indicator draws only the order book.
- Liquidation levels from $1,000 to $1,000,000 in size are counted.
The indicator is available on the Pro plan and above. On Free it draws nothing: the live order book and the liquidation forecast are served on paid plans only.
Find it: Indicators → search "DOM & Liquidations Profile". In the list the indicator is called [SF] DOM & Liquidations Profile, on the chart — [SF] DOM & Liq Profile.
How to use it
- Look at where the order book has a bid or ask skew and whether it lines up in price with a zone of predicted liquidations.
- A long age line is a liquidation zone that has held for a long time. A short one is a zone that appeared recently.
- On low timeframes keep Price % small: the value labels grow together with the row height.
Liquidation levels are a model estimate, not real orders from the exchange order book. The model does not say where price will go. More in the article Predict Liquidations.
