The **Trade & Liquidations** widget is a high-speed execution feed that tracks every market-buy, market-sell, and forced liquidation in real-time. By using dynamic row heights and color intensity, it visually highlights "whale" activity and forced exits, helping you distinguish between retail noise and institutional flow.

## Widget Structure

The widget interface is split into two adjustable containers:

1. **Trades Container (Top)**: Streams real-time executed market orders.
2. **Liquidations Container (Bottom)**: Tracks forced liquidations from over-leveraged participants.
3. **Draggable Divider**: When both sections are active, use the central divider to resize each container based on your monitoring priority.

## Column Breakdown

Every row in the feed is divided into 6 specific data points to provide total transparency into the transaction:

| Column | Data Point          | Description                                                                                                                                      |
| :----- | :------------------ | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **1**  | **Direction Arrow** | Indicates the side of the trade or liquidation. For liquidations, the arrow is inverted (e.g., a **Buy Liquidation** shows a red down arrow).    |
| **2**  | **Exchange Logo**   | Displays the icon of the origin exchange (e.g., Binance, Bybit). Liquidations feature a **Bull/Bear overlay badge** to indicate the forced side. |
| **3**  | **Price**           | The execution price of the trade or liquidation.                                                                                                 |
| **4**  | **Delta (bps)**     | _Trades Only:_ A superscript pill showing the price change in **Basis Points (bps)** relative to the last trade on that specific exchange.       |
| **5**  | **Amount (\$)**     | The notional USD value, formatted with **K** (thousands) or **M** (millions) suffixes for readability.                                           |
| **6**  | **Time**            | Elapsed time since the event (e.g., `now` for \< 1s, `5s` for seconds, `2m` for minutes).                                                        |

## Basis Points (bps) Calculation

The Delta column utilizes basis points to indicate precise price movement between consecutive trades on the same exchange:

- **Logic**: Calculated as `(Price Delta / Previous Price) × 10,000`.
- **Format**: Displayed as `+X bps` or `-X bps`.
- **Visibility**: To reduce noise, the badge is hidden if the absolute value is less than **0.5 bps**.

## Visual Features & Row Styling

Kiyotaka uses **Dynamic Styling** to ensure that large, market-moving orders are impossible to miss:

- **Background Color-Coding**: The **entire row** is color-coded based on the trade side. Green rows indicate buys, while red rows indicate sells.
- **Liquidations Inversion**: For liquidations, both colors and arrows are inverted for clarity. A **Buy Liquidation** is shown as a **Red** row with a **down arrow**, while a **Sell Liquidation** is shown as a **Green** row with an **up arrow**.
- **Color Intensity**: Row background opacity increases based on the trade size relative to your thresholds.
- **Dynamic Row Height**: While normal trades are **25px** tall, high-intensity whale trades scale up in height to stand out in the feed.

## Widget Settings

Customize the feed to match your specific trading strategy via the **T&L Settings** menu:

### Display & Symbols

- **Multi-Symbol Support**: Track up to **100 symbols** simultaneously in a single aggregated feed.
- **Toggle Sections**: Choose to show or hide the trades and liquidations sections independently.

### Custom Thresholds

Define exactly what constitutes a "large" trade by setting custom dollar-value levels.

- **Default Trade Thresholds**: $500, $1.3K, $5.0K, and $50.0K.
- **Default Liquidation Thresholds**: $250, $500, $1.0K, and $10.0K.
- **Multiplier**: Use the multiplier setting to scale all thresholds up or down instantly.

### Audio Alerts

Enable separate **Sound Alerts** for trades and liquidations. You can adjust the volume or mute specific alerts to maintain focus while still receiving auditory cues for massive entries.
