4.2.4. Pulling Stacking Live Dom Totals

PULLING AND STACKING ON LIVE DOM ( part of PACK 2):

Pulling and Stacking refers to the actions traders take to adjust their limit orders within the order book. Pulling and stacking refer to the movement of liquidity, which involves the number of buy and sell orders in the order book at a specific price level. Pulling means removing or decreasing liquidity, while stacking means adding or increasing liquidity. These actions can signal potential price movements and trading opportunities.

PULLING liquidity is the process of removing or decreasing orders at a specific price level in the order book. It suggests a lack of interest or confidence in that price level, potentially indicating a weakening of support or resistance. 

STACKING liquidity is added or increased at a specific price level in the order book. It suggests a strong interest in that price level, potentially reinforcing support or resistance.

Pulling and stacking are analyzed separately on the bid (buy) and ask (sell) sides of the order book.  Pulling and stacking actions provide insights into the intentions of market participants, revealing changes in buying or selling pressure and market sentiment. 

Pulling and stacking can be used to anticipate potential price reversals or continuations. It is beneficial for scalping on a short-term trend momentum.

• Pulling is the act of removing orders, and it creates a vacuum on the side from which it is removed.
• Stacking creates pressure from the side to which it adds orders.
