# Big Order Bubbles

Big Order Bubbles (BOBs) provide a simple but highly effective way to visualize exceptionally large, single-bar volume injections directly on your chart.

While the Volume Anomalies feature looks for specific behaviors (like absorption or exhaustion), Big Order Bubbles simply highlight raw, massive participation. When a bubble appears, you know that significant institutional money has just stepped into the market.

### Configuration

* **Show Bubbles**: Master toggle to enable or disable the drawing of volume bubbles on the chart.
* **Multiplier**: This setting defines how large the volume must be relative to the average baseline to trigger a bubble.
  * For example, a multiplier of `3.0` means the volume on that specific candle must be at least 300% of the recent average volume.
  * You can adjust this in `0.5` increments. Higher values will filter out the noise and only show true climax volume, while lower values will highlight more frequent participation.

### Trading Context

Big Order Bubbles are best used as confirmation tools rather than standalone signals.

* If price sweeps a major liquidity pool, prints a Volume Anomaly (like Exhaustion), and then begins displacing away with a **Big Order Bubble** and Stacked Imbalances, you have maximum confluence that a major reversal is underway.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.candelacharts.com/toolkits/orderflow-concepts-tm/big-order-bubbles.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
