This guide outlines how active traders use Peak for real-time market monitoring, microstructure analysis, and execution context. The emphasis is on speed, signal density, and live data.

​
What Peak supports for traders

Live market data

Real-time trade streams, prices, and volume across venues.

Liquidity analysis

Depth, pair-level performance, and venue comparison.

Flow tracking

CEX inflows and outflows, large-wallet activity, DEX trader behavior.

Alerts

Notifications on price, volume, or activity conditions.

​
Setting up for active trading

A workspace optimized for trading typically includes:
  • A watchlist of actively-traded assets. Concentrate on what you actually trade rather than tracking everything.
  • Alerts on material conditions. Price thresholds, volume spikes, unusual wallet activity, and similar — set sparingly so each alert means something.
  • Timezone set correctly. All timestamps respect this; getting it wrong creates confusion fast.
See Setting up your workspace for setup details.

​
Commands for real-time monitoring

​
Live activity

Live Trades (LTD) ↗ is the primary real-time view. It streams trades for the active Token Object and supports filtering by size, side, and counterparty type. Price Monitor (PMN) ↗ — its OHLCV Chart tab provides candlestick price action with volume, useful for confirming what live trades are showing in aggregate.

​
Liquidity context

Market Liquidity Analysis (MLA) ↗ shows depth and liquidity flows. Useful before sizing a position or evaluating slippage. DEX Performance (DEP) ↗ at the protocol level shows venue-wide activity and pair-level breakdowns.

​
Flow signals

CX Whale Tracker (CWT) ↗ shows CEX inflows and outflows — relevant signal for short-term price pressure. DX Trader Analysis (DXT) ↗ examines DEX trader behavior, useful for identifying patterns in active wallet activity.

​
