What you’ll learn: what the order book actually is (two lines of people – asks stacked above, bids below, with real money waiting), the spread and who earns it, where candlesticks actually come from (book to tape to candle), maker vs taker – the simplest fee reduction in trading (rest a limit order even one cent below the best bid and you pay maker fees), live real-money orders on Coinbase Advanced Trade with the fee lines compared, the depth chart and why walls are advertisements rather than promises, painting, iceberg orders and spoofing – the three ways the book lies, what a market maker actually did all day (quoting both sides, direction neutral, capturing the spread), slippage – the silent tax on big market orders, and the ten-second habit: check the spread, prefer the limit when patient, respect size versus depth. Homework: place one small limit order at a level you chose – as the maker, on purpose.
