# Dense Reference Recorder
Reference-data recorder used to evaluate adaptive order-book sampling without guessing the sampling policy from the same sparse data it is meant to optimize.
It subscribes to public Bybit streams for:
- BTCUSDC Spot: `orderbook.50` + public trades,
- BTCUSDT Linear: `orderbook.50` + public trades + liquidations.
The recorder persists transport-level order-book snapshot/delta messages, trades and liquidations into small JSONL chunks and rotates them into 15-minute `.tar.gz` segments. Full L50 books are reconstructed during offline replay.
This component exists to answer a research question: **how much can full L50 persistence be reduced without losing important market episodes?**
## Run
