  • Aggregation.

  • Exchanges.

  • Filters (From/To): Based on the same criteria as in columns.

  • Timeframe.

  • Distance (%): Range distance from the best price.

  • Data Request Button.

Visual Table Filtering:

This feature works only with data already present in the table. If results are insufficient or absent, adjust filters in the "Data Request Menu."

  • Change Data Type.

  • Filter by Values (From/To).

  • Reset Filter to Default Values.

Why the tool does not display data not for all pairs?

BAS provides information about limits, and they are not available on all tickers at the moment. For example, limits are not available on derivatives (futures).

All assets on which BAS is available are presented in the tables. You can check if an asset is in the table in two ways:

1. Enter the ticker name in the search field

2. Use the common ticker mode. To do this, just click on the paperclip symbol and start entering the asset name. The information will be pulled up not only in BAS, but also in all RTT tables
