# DOM Ladder

## Help:  (Depth of Market)

The **DOM Ladder** is a live **price ladder** that shows **bid and ask depth** from multiple exchanges in one scrollable panel. Use it next to the chart to see **where size sits**, how **spread** and **imbalance** move, and optional **microstructure signals**.

These pages explain **how to use the feature in the MRD app**. For **full signal definitions**, formulas, and example workflows, see the extended reference: DOM Ladder (detailed).
