 The ''DepthBuffer'' enum defines possible depth buffer types.
+Controls the frequency and volume of depth updates received. Higher update rates increase bandwidth usage, so it is recommended to use the lowest buffering level that meets your requirements on a per-market basis.
 ^ Value ^ Description ^
-| DEPTH_BUFFER_NO_SUBSCRIPTION | No subscription |
+| DEPTH_BUFFER_NO_SUBSCRIPTION | No depth subscription. Unsubscribes if currently active. |
-| DEPTH_BUFFER_SLOW_TRADE | Slow trade buffer |
+| DEPTH_BUFFER_SLOW_TRADE      | SlowSmart buffering plus all individual trades. High bandwidth usage—use sparingly. |
-| DEPTH_BUFFER_SMART_TRADE | Smart trade buffer |
+| DEPTH_BUFFER_SMART_TRADE     | Smart buffering plus all individual trades. High bandwidth usage—use sparingly. |
-| DEPTH_BUFFER_SLOW_SMART | Slow smart buffer |
+| DEPTH_BUFFER_SLOW_SMART      | Slower smart buffering (~1 update/sec per market if changes occur). Lower bandwidth usage. |
-| DEPTH_BUFFER_SMART | Smart buffer |
+| DEPTH_BUFFER_SMART           | Default smart buffering. Frequency varies based on market changes. |
-| DEPTH_BUFFER_FAST_SMART | Fast smart buffer |
+| DEPTH_BUFFER_FAST_SMART      | Faster smart buffering with more frequent best bid/offer updates. Higher bandwidth usage. |
-| DEPTH_BUFFER_ALL | All buffer types |
+| DEPTH_BUFFER_ALL             | No buffering (all updates). Not supported by API—falls back to Smart. |

+The ''DepthLevels'' enum defines the number of price depth levels returned per update.
-^ Value ^ Description ^
+This setting controls how much market depth data is received. Higher levels increase bandwidth usage, so it is recommended to use the lowest level required on a per-market basis.
-| DEPTH_LEVELS_UNDEFINED | Undefined depth levels |
-| DEPTH_LEVELS_BEST_ONLY | Best price only |
-| DEPTH_LEVELS_NORMAL | Normal depth levels (10) |
-| DEPTH_LEVELS_ALL | All depth levels (255) |
+^ Value ^ Description ^
+| DEPTH_LEVELS_UNDEFINED | Undefined. Not used by the API. |
+| DEPTH_LEVELS_BEST_ONLY | Best bid/offer and trade information only. |
+| DEPTH_LEVELS_NORMAL | Up to 10 levels of depth plus trade information. |
+| DEPTH_LEVELS_ALL | All available depth levels plus trade information (typically capped at 10 levels). |
