Dynamic Iceberg Development

Dynamic Iceberg Developments (DID) powerfully show the exact development of all single native Iceberg Orders on the chart in real time. Each Iceberg Order has its own individual properties and is placed, shifted, traded, and canceled uniquely. These individualized movements and actions are traced by the DID tool.

Example

The orange line shows the history of every native Iceberg: (Start Point of the DID) When it was originally placed in the order book by an institution, (Price shifting) when the DID change the price, and when it is finished transacting.
