I don't know anything else but I have a telegram link that provides a large number of indicators of purchases and sales that are done quickly in a short period of time on binary trading. I am not sure it is the act of whales. this alan provides a realtime picture of current trade trends. http://t.me/WhaleSniper

You can use

https://tucsky.github.io/SignificantTrades/#

Which basically shows any large trades happening on various exchanges, if you go to settings you can configure what thresholds you want to see.

A little disclaimer, this won't always help you. Because most large whales use hidden orders and they break down their trades in small batches not to get detected. Also you have no idea if someone is longing to open a new position or just cover a short.

Oh, this is a piece of a good work! It will probably not help in trading but it is nice example of a clear and understandable 'web app' design. Kudos to the creator(s)!

Is there a way that I can know if some whale has just place a large order in any exchange in the world without a need to check all them every time, is there any indicator?
It is not convincing that any whale sells great amounts of BTC in the same order. So it is more logical to divide orders into smaller pieces. Maybe it is possible to follow but it will be difficult to find out who is whale.

Like you , I also don't know how to foresee it . Sometimes, I am afraid that the price of my coins are having some malicious trading activities if someone places a big order that can easily manipulate the price. If someone can help us about our misfortune about trading , I hope they can share their ideas on us.

Now the exchanges use hidden orders, so a large player can be difficult to calculate. We can assume the entry of a major player either by tape or by volume. That would be more accurate. But the question is, do you have the skill to read the tape?

There is no such indicator that I know of. Some exchanges allow the orderbooks to be seen by other traders and directly take those orders if they wish to.

I believe you are asking this in the pretext of knowing when a big dump or a big pump is going to happen. Let me give you a straight answer on that as you cant. Whales are not like smallcap traders buying a couple of coins on the popular exchanges. They have their own networks for buying and selling that too mostly through mixers. They want as much anonymity as possible because if they go to exchanges they will face legal problems and KYC which is obviously a problem for a whale.
Not so sure, but is that not something that can easily be visible with the volume chart. Most of the time, when a big whale enters the market, you pretty much will see a huge volume spike on the volume indicator and that I believe is something that could be more reliable than order book but still does not mean that gives a straight ticket for a bull run based on the fact that market can be manipulated. At least, even for big markets, it has worked a lot, which is more like trying to tag along with the big moneys.

Sometimes, I notice that the “whales” don’t buy in a bulk amount. Instead, I see smaller amounts of buy order being placed and refilled once it is fulfilled. So it can be difficult to track. Nevertheless, I think you should be able to code a bot tracking such big orders for you.

The best way you might be able to get to know that is to utilize the order book, but looking at the way that can easily be manipulated in the crypto space, I would not say it is something you should completely rely on. The only indicator you can make use of when it comes to price action and the huge order placed is to make use of the volume bars. In that way, when big money enters a particular market, you will see the huge volume of buy in, which in a way is a strategy to follow the whales.

It all depends on which exchange you are trading, as some exchanges they allow to do inside trading , so you will see that the big order is placed and immediately it gets executed. So this type of trade can also be know as manipulation of coin price. Apart from that no one can know how the big orders are moving.

If you know how stop limit works, you will be able to find if someone is placing a big order if that particular number repeatedly showing from time to time. If there will be a huge buy or sell wall followed by another big number, that also an indication that someone is requesting a big order. This is also base on my observation and i know that someone can ride to the same number of requested price. I maybe wrong but i could say that a sell or a buy wall is a great indication.

I have not found an accurate channel about it, but I can see the potential for large orders from https://t.me/whale_alert, there are large transactions between the wallet and more connected with the wallet of the exchange user, the next thing is the potential crypto traded and we can guess the various possibilities that occur.
Please stop listening to these telegram alert/signal/pump and dump groups. They never give you anything that is verifiable and try to pull off tricks  by making false information seem legit in front of newbies who enter the market. Let me tell you the truth, the owners of these groups simply pump or dump their coins and create a false sense of supply or demand when in reality they did nothing but instill panic in the minds of the followers.

They will dump when you are told to pump or vice-versa, thus making you hold a shitcoin when you lose your bitcoin. Plainly its a type of a market manipulation scam.

I heard from someone that most the times whales now go through black market so that people won’t know when they buy and sell, so that they won’t be able to predict what’s about to happen next. But when whales buy you will that the price will start to go up immediately and other investors will also follow up and start investing their money which will cause the market price to further increase.

https://twitter.com/whalecalls this twitter address basically lets you know of all the big moves that happens in crypto world.
I do not think it has all the coins you can look for but it has some of the big ones. Bitcoin is the most common one but I have seen ethereum and XRP there as well and I think LTC too.

It was basically there that I saw the 30 thousand bitcoin sold during the hash war crisis times and the bitcoin price went down and it was this twitter that I saw big whales collecting like 5 thousand bitcoins a day for a while so they could take advantage of the price drop we have right now. You can check it anytime you want constantly because it shows whenever something happens instantly, I think they have some api type of deal with big places that shows it on twitter directly.

You have just answered the curiosity of the Op and some members including me. Obviously, mixers further secures the anonymity of identity... Preventing the strenuous exercise of KYC and taxing probably.  Grin

Sometimes whales will replace their fund in separate exchange, we call it swing method. But I believe check large order is not worth because whales is speculate person, they use momentum ( news/ rumors ) not data. As long you know market trend and set your indicator ( SL/ TP ) is enough. Don't play too hard, just enjoy the journey.

I would use API of your desired exchanges and developed such a tool on my own if I were you. Although it may sound simple (make connection to an exchange, scan volume of buying and selling orders every 10 second, compare current volume with previous volume, if increased by x % - trigger an action), you will have to do lots of tweaking and probably some trial/error experience.

Just look at the order list. You can see the number of orders, quantity of tokens and the price they would want to bid or ask. If you can see a bigger one, you can determine that it is a whale or not. Imagine, if there is a seller of bitcoin, it has 10 BTC and above. It is a whale if it has large amount of dollars or tokens in order.

I think if want to see order we can't well we want or not must look on exchange 1 by 1 to see their orders, because if that thing can happen, it will be easy to know which coin will get pumped in market.

There are no tools to help you see their transactions. I know that it is possible to find services that will show transactions of holders of large sums. Very often it happens that whales do not sell their coins on exchanges. They often sell their coins directly to the buyer.

Theres no such tool on and I believe theres no exchange that would able to notify you out if there are whales who do put up big order neither buy or sell. That's too much
transparency if certain user would be point out if he put up massive orders.In all years I do have experience on trading such thing doesn't exist yet you can able to spot out
it manually if you do like to.

I've never seen such tools. This can only be understood from the experience that will appear in the process. Why would you even know that? If you are constantly trading, you will understand what to do. We will never know the plans of market makers. This is how the market works. Then everything would be obvious and the market would not exist. Market makers make the market move and it should be used.

Building your own market watch from scratch and using an exchange's API could do the trick, although there are some rumors that exchanges somewhat mask big buy/sell orders on the platform so as not to cause a sudden sway in the order books and prevent a crash/pump to happen. I could be wrong though, but platforms have changed drastically that it's not easy to trust the order book alone, and I have seen a lot of instances wherein the order book seemed to be okay without anything unusual then a sudden crash happens.

Wouldn't many of the whales rather use OTC exchanges done in private, just so they can get a custom price and they don't broadcast their trades?
Talking about massive amounts here, not 'just' a couple thousand BTC of course.

Yep, OTC is still the way to go for whales that want to get a customized deal and to also not drown/excite the market too much. However with the real-time price action on exchanges, there's a lot of money to be made in an instant so other whales like to stick it on their trusted exchange and do as everyone else does.

I'm not aware of any tools but you could build your own. You could use the API of the exchanges that you want to keep an eye on, most of the time It should be the most known ones because whales won't risk their money with exchanges that are not reputable, and just check the order book when there is an order above a specific amount that you consider as a 'whale' order.

That said, I do wish there was an app that notifies you of big trades on the highest volume exchanges.
Would be pretty handy indeed.

There is simply no easy way.
One way would be through observation of the order book, sometimes you find when a large buy or sell order is placed at once.
The reason it's hard to identify such instances is when the wall decides to put up small buy and sell orders so as not to get noticed or even just manipulate the order book by placing an order to bring the price down or shoot it up then afterward cancel the order, this completely makes it useless to follow whale orders.

Well according to my experienced when doing trade in the platform, I just always look and check the buy and sell in the monitor.
In that chart graph you will see over there the level count of the buyers/traders who set buy wall together with the amount of how much bitcoin or Eth they bought.

We don't have any tools for that to find out big orders but what you can do is go to the exchanges where the volume of which coins you want to check is maximum and the look them periodically for any big orders.

If we have something like that means everyone can can save themselves when the whale selling their coins.

If you want to know complete indication it is impossible because number of whales are available in the market so they put some investment in low volume tokens or coins it will be reach high region so the only way is active in market status. I hope many regulations are possible in future so we just wait for some updates.

Even if you can observe a large sell wall and when it's place there's no way to know if it's one big order or multiple smaller orders all at the same price. I do not know if that makes a difference for what you intend to use it for but it's worthwhile noting. I personally don't pay much attention to big orders because they are mostly removed before being filled and are just placed in an attempt to move the market one way or the other.

Most of the exchanges nowadays have a hidden orderbook feature for market movers, which is what whales are usually hiding themselves behind. You'll only notice that buy/sell walls are there when traders are buying or selling into these orders, because of the volume generated around the levels these orders are placed at.

That's why you shouldn't pay much attention to an orderbook. It can be easily manipulated visibly, and in the way it's not visible for you with hidden orders.

Well you can always see the number of orders as well as the number of buyers/sellers under the bid and ask section. I know there are other platforms where they identify who the large buyers and sellers are but I don't know there particular name of that exchange. But why do you want to know who the whales are in the market? Isn't it more dangerous since they now know that you will be following what they are doing which means they can influence the market if a lot of you based your trades on what they do.
