  • Mid Price Calculation: Mid Price = (Best Bid Price + Best Ask Price) / 2
  • Order Depth Calculation: The order depth at x% (Order Depth x%) for each snapshot is determined as follows:
  • Bid size is calculated by aggregating the order sizes placed by KuCoin TR within the price range of (Mid Price * (1 - x%), Mid Price).
  • Ask size is calculated by aggregating the order sizes placed by the Company within the price range of (Mid Price, Mid Price * (1 + x%)).

  • Daily Order Depth Aggregation: The Order Depth x% for the day is computed by summing the Order Depth x% values across all snapshots and dividing by 1,440 (the number of minutes in a day).
