Orders are hidden

and what the hell does this even mean?!!
orders are usually hidden, hence this is a true statement.
well technically you can see it on the orderbook, for example on a certain price there is X amount of bitcoin being sold or bought, or on the depth chart.
some exchanges are also giving the "orders" in their API call, for example the API call returns a list of all orders at some price.
something like this:
{
"price":1500,
"orders":
[
"size" : 0.001 ,
"size" : 100,
"size" : 123.21335,
...
]
"price":1501,
"orders":
[...]
}
