™Bookmap is a well-known desktop trading platform whose signature feature is a heatmap of the order book over time — you can see where large resting orders sat and how they moved. The LTAI Terminal takes a different route: a free, browser-based order-flow workstation for crypto built around the footprint chart, a DOM ladder and the tape.
