Market — Order Book (All Status)

X Bar chart of if("status"=='open' and "side"=='buy'){1}else{float(null)}, if("status"=='open' and "side"=='sell'){1}else{float(null)} and if("status"=='closed'){1}else{0}, grouped by bucket("price", 0.5), sorted by bucket("price", 0.5), with 6 computed expression columns.

Simulated real-time order flow: a stateful matching engine on a private worker, view-mirrored to the UI.

Data

A simulated order book streaming into a Perspective table in real time: orders are created, filled, cancelled and expired continuously, and every data grid, pivot and chart updates incrementally as they arrive.

Generated continuously in the browser by a JavaScript simulation streaming into a Perspective Table.

Configuration

This example is a saved <perspective-viewer> workspace. Pass this JSON to viewer.restoreWorkspace() to reproduce it over the same table:
