Heat Map

What it means

A heat map often highlights where volume, liquidity, or activity is clustering so traders can spot concentration quickly.

What to watch

Strong visuals can feel persuasive even when the underlying interpretation is weak. The tool should support a specific decision.

Heat Map is most useful once it is tied to a concrete page, chart decision, or workflow question.
