Order Book

An order book is a structured list used in trading that shows all buy and sell orders for a particular asset, such as stocks or cryptocurrencies, at any given time. It displays the prices at which buyers are willing to purchase and sellers are willing to sell. This information helps traders make informed decisions by showing market demand and supply. The order book is dynamic, constantly updated as new orders come in or are fulfilled, providing a real-time snapshot of market activity and liquidity.
