Another version. Changes are: 1- Extended the current orderbook to at least 20 points into the future. The Bid/Ask lines have changed to DOT for these points. In order to see them you have to use <CTRL)-> to see the Fill space. Please set the option "Lock fill space". 2- Large volume study now works on the total volume traded during the period. But the colouring is based on the relative size of Bid and Ask volume during the period. I have not done much testing so please feel free to point to possible shortcomings. You might have to remove and then reapply the indicator to your chart. Amir

THAT IS THE REASON SIERRA IS BY FAR THE BEST TRADING PLATFORM!! Not only, but also SC is very stable (I never have seen it crashing), problems are handled in a timely manner, especially if they are important and for the futures it offers it is by far not overpriced. Thank you!

Amir, AMAZING STUFF. Dont let futures.io discourage your work. Please post updates here. Obviously the guys at Bookmap are crapping themselves :) Velexpro are sponsors of the forum! No worries, As I am using the DLL I continually update it to add more functionality useful to me. Here is the latest one: The "Display type" option 1 has changed. When selected, the Black would be the "Max Volume" or more and not the maximum volume on the DOM. Therefore the shading is not based on the relative volume to the current maximum volume on the DOM but to an absolute value. This would allow me to look back at any historical data and see what the DOM volume was at the time. Also if a very high volume has reached the DOM the other levels shading does not change. Since there are 20 shading levels then if the "Max Volume" chosen is 2000, the shade levels would change every 100, i.e. a volume of 0 to 100 on the DOM would be White, 100 to 200 a darker shade and so on. Regards Amir

Sorry I had to add MinVolume as well so that I can have more shades in the range I want. Also separated the current DOM shading from historical shading. Hopefully this would be the last change until SC version. Regards Amir

Hi Amir, firstly thank you very much for your generosity for sharing this! Please see attached picture. This is the last DLL however I am missing a lot of information referring to your picture, not sure how to get the lot sizes etc on the right like yours? I am trading CL and like to see 80 contracts and the 100 as white, what would you suggest to highlight these 100 contracts ? http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=146540672646.png

Hi Amir, thanks for all your superb work. I also think it's wrong that futures.io doesn't want you to share your charts there. Bookmap/Veloxpro has copied ideas from other sources, so they certainly have no copyright claims.

You have to attach the DOM to your chart to see the values on the right side of the chart. I am attaching my DOM settings. Set the "display type" option to 1 and "MaxVolume" to 80 and "MinVolume" to 0. In this case all volumes above 80 would be white and granularity of shading would be 4 (80/20). There is a LargVolume indicator in the DLL that you can use to mark the range of volumes you are interested in, see the example chart in the first post. By the way looking at the subgraphs tab would show you all the 20 shadings available. Regards Amir

So is Big Mike preventing the postings of charts? Makes no sense. We do not see how a chart can be copyrighted. Besides the chart is of their own creation showing simple concepts. This whole thing makes no sense. Have them support their claim with case law. There is none to support it. We cannot possibly see any legitimacy to copyright or patent here. This is ridiculous as the TT patent. They will go nowhere with this. Their arguments are phony if they are claiming copyright. There is nothing special about showing historical market depth data on a chart either in text or graphical form. The concept of showing it in a graphical form by shading rectangles according to the values compared to the highest and lowest values for the chart bar or relative to what is displayed, is a very simple concept.

There is no special settings. This area is for the current DOM and all 16 points on each levels would have the same colour, based on the relative size to the maximum volume. Regards Amir Date Time Of Last Edit: 2016-06-08 20:21:30

Bookmap is will be under tremendous financial pressure. The DOM is owned by the exchange. Different representations of such are not proprietary. It’s like trying to patent candlesticks, it’s a joke Charging $1000 for nothing proprietary, since they don’t own the heatmap visualization patent is robbery. Once you guys release your version of “Bookmap” I urge you to start a new thread on futures.io showing off Sierra Charts. Just don’t call it “Bookmap” :) PS- other vendors like Jigsaw Trading have released their own version built into their software. They call it Auction Vista Heatmap.

everybody wants this product and its missing key components needed to trade it , should be fun to watch , its just another vendor marketing gimmick , atleast sierras is free , but a product like that will get most amateurs in trouble , big orders are shown for a reason , remember that , house always wins

I see another Sierra chart iteration has come to life http://visualbook.fr/ A heat map style concept in SC has soo much more potential than "Bookmap"

How do I select saving the DOM data. I have been connected since this morning, but just did a replay and the DOM is not updating.

I have enabled it for ES, but still it is not saved. Where is the DOM data saved as nothing has been added in the data directory.
