Order Book Consolidation
Order book consolidation is the process of aggregating data from multiple exchanges into a single, unified view of the market. It allows traders to see the total supply and demand across all venues, rather than just looking at a single order book.
This provides a much clearer picture of true liquidity and price levels. Consolidation is complex because it requires handling data from different APIs, formats, and speeds.
However, it is essential for effective decision-making and for implementing strategies like smart order routing. By viewing the market as a whole, traders can better identify trends, spot arbitrage opportunities, and manage their execution strategies with greater precision and confidence.
