Any plans to add an iceberg order alert ?
Iceberg order: when liquidity which are continuosly added to the ask/bid side, in comparaison to the sold market. (so a lot of bid/ask volume hit the market but this volume is consumed by the bid/ask liquidity whic is continuosly added [and since is continuosly added in millisecond y can't see this clearly on the Dom]). Thank you

+1 for this suggestion. Basically we want to visually see the difference between the market depth and the time and sales. The difference may be "iceberg" or "blackpool" orders that do not show up in the market depth. At times this hidden order flow represents a large percentage of the "smart money" order flow. Thank you in advance for considering this suggestion.

+1, maybe add a column on the DOM in order to display iceberg size could be an option. Say someone reloaded 200 contracts on the bid, then is would show somewhere (i.e. a column in the DOM) "+200" meaning that someone reloaded 200 contracts. Maybe you could get inspired by this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNPfScbf2t4&t=2s

look at the column +/- on the right.

If you feel inspired, adding a "large lot tracker" would also be a great addition. This shows how much of a current depth is made of one market participant (essentially this is tracking large players on the bid/ask), obivously this is only an estimation. Look at the white line in the DOM of the preivous video.

I'd prefer to see any implementation of this to be on a chart. DOM is just too fast for me to keep track of. It would be excellent additional information on a bookmap style chart.

Hi Traders !

This kind of studies is already available on the QuantMap tools. It's a 3rd part software for sc.

It is calculated by taking the market orders size, the last best bid, the last best offer, the previous best bid, the previous best offer, and the price.

--> a bid iceberg orders is triggered when you have a sold market orders size which is bigger than the current best bid size and than the previous best bid size.

--> a ask iceberg orders is triggered when you have a bought market orders size which is bigger than the current best offer size and the previous best offer size.


Working only for SierraChart

Nice Nico,

but i'd like to see this study, this kind of study implemented natively into SierraChart. And it seems i am definitly not the only one. Let's wait SC response. Mainwhile if someonelse is interested ... drop a message, it helps.

Any chance to have SC support an opinion about this ? Is something y are working on ? y plan to work on it in the future ? maybe not ? will be great to hear your opinion.

forgot to mention...

just like jigsaw, simple arrows shown on the swing chart would be amazing whenever there is an iceberg (see screenshot)

Indeed, iceberg possibly can be detected only by using MBO data from RApiPlus (v10.0.0.0 and higher) or maybe TT feed.

After matching this order has same size now it's deleted.

Have no any ideas how such info may be used by retail traders .
But in MBO stream there are tons of another one, more interesting, IMXO.

Also, above mention (and data) may be incorrect, handling MDP3 data with MBO subscibtion is very hard and non trivial task.
