# Order Book (DOM)

### Description

DOM (Depth of Market, Order Book) is a scale (or table) of limit orders for the purchase and sale of assets. Each order contains a price (quote) and volume in units of the financial instrument (security).

### Purpose 

The Order Book (DOM) displays the total number of limit orders to buy and sell at each price above and below the market price. DOM makes it possible to reflect the real trade dynamics and take into account the smallest changes in market behaviour. 

**Order Book creation** 

1. In order to create the Order Book go to the left side menu and click Trading **→ Order Book**
