Iceberg, sniper, liquidity-seeking: reading the footprint

"Hidden" algos still leave traces. Three families to recognize.

The iceberg

• The level absorbs far more than the displayed size (BT/AT well above the size in the book).
• It reloads instantly after every execution: the color of the band comes right back on the heatmap.
• A sign of accumulation or distribution by a large player, defending their average price.

On DeepCharts, the Iceberg Detector spots the reload pattern thanks to order-by-order data: a clip consumed then re-posted at the same price, again and again.
