dxFeed Order Book
Overview
The Order Book is a market data depth that provides you with an insight into order flow for different analytics. dxFeed Order Book's Order event provides a list of orders for particular security including shows of every single quote and order at every price level for stocks. By default, the order sizes don’t reflect the “real” order size as reserve/iceberg orders are often placed with a limited showing shares number in the Order Book.
