 Welcome to the Bookmap Platform Details webinar. This is Bruce at Bookmap. The risk disclaimer, trading equities and futures involved with central risk of loss is not suitable for all investors past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. For more information go to bookmap.com. There's a free trial for 14 days. It comes with education. What you get in the education is bookmap educational course, parts one through four. And it might be a little different than what you're accustomed to in terms of education because we're really looking at what moves the market here, why price moves to new levels. And that's understanding sweeps of the book and just basic market mechanics that they may seem somewhat basic, but it's really important to understand. And then that leads into more about structure and understanding those market mechanics in structure. And then looking for opportunities is part three and setups and strategies to take advantage of some of the things that you can see in bookmap that offer that advantage. And then part four gets into more advanced correlations and different, you know, some of the advanced add-ons. OK, now every day as well part of that education is access to the advanced live order flow webinars that start at 11 a.m. Eastern time, so in about half hour. And there's some other resources as well. OK, any questions you can reach us at support at bookmap.com. Let's take a quick look here at the website. Just want to show it to you. There's an intro video here. Just basic information about bookmap sign up for the free webinar here, which is this webinar. And bookmap for equities, we also connect to equities. And I want to let you know that we're going to be offering cryptocurrencies as well, shortly. So probably in about another month or so. So really covering all of the markets that have order book information and volume. OK, Forex does not have that because there's no real centralized exchange. So you don't really get that kind of data. But the cryptocurrencies will, all right, and the for the futures, of course, and the equities, of course. So you will need a data provider. And these are the data providers you can use to connect bookmap to the live markets. And you'll see that in a few of these here that some of these are platforms. OK, well, we connect to the API of the platform. Like Ninja Trader, TTX Trader Pro, and Interactive Brokers Trader Workstation. All right, so that is that option as well. But we are a platform just like Ninja Trader. So you can connect bookmap via CQG or Rhythmic, Gain, IQ Feed, Transact, et cetera. OK, for the equities, it's through DevExperts. All right, OK, here is the pricing page for the free trial information. 14 days, bookmap basic, advanced, and quant. It's 49 per month for the basic. It's billed quarterly. OK, so it'll be $147 for three months. And then the advanced is 99 per month billed quarterly. You get that 14 day free trial. And that offers the free education as well. OK, what you also get with the bookmap advanced is the ability to trade right off of the chart. And this is a real nice advantage because you're able to look at the heat map, the liquidity, and use that to your advantage. You can hide your orders behind high liquidity or front run them to look for a higher probability of getting filled. There's also these add-on indicators like the large lot tracker. We start to identify not only high liquidity, but specific players in the market. OK, iceberg order or iceberg detector does the same. There's some order book imbalances and volume imbalance indicators in a correlation tracker. All right, if you need a data feed to go along with your free trial, you can click here. If you want to see all the details of the plans, you can click here for the comparison. All right, social media, you can follow us on Twitter at bookmap underscore pro. You get the up-to-date information about what's going on and retweets of other traders. You can also subscribe to our YouTube channel. And when new videos are uploaded, get alerted about that. If you're new here, I would recommend looking at some of the intro videos here, starting with that. Look at maybe some of the features and components in this playlist here. And then the order flow video snippets. OK, these are, this is market phenomena that we cover very concisely with these very short videos. And but this is what we go over in bookmap in the advanced webinars in the live market. OK, so they're not very concise in the webinars. We'll go through these in detail here, looking for opportunities. OK, that's that. And let's take a look at bookmap. OK, so we had oil inventories here just a few minutes ago. And you can see that the spike here to the upside in crude, just above the figure here. But you can see it did not accept above the figure. So we're right back down in the range. Not what I'm not sure what the numbers were for the inventories. But it looks like hasn't been too much of a reaction from it. It's been about a 20 cent move, and that's about it. And we're right back in the middle of the range. OK, so anyway, we can take a look at crude. I was going to look at the NASDAQ again today. Reason being is we've been watching it and have a bigger picture approach here. So yeah, I think I'll stick with the NASDAQ. The we were recovering it yesterday and there's a point of control on the higher time frame up at this area and did not accept above it. OK, so very curious to see. I'm anticipating more move to the downside here in the NASDAQ and a nice spike above this area here. But and now we're coming back down. So let's take a look at bookmap and we're going to see a nice reversal pattern. OK, nice big head and shoulders there. OK, anyway, what are we looking at here in bookmap? Right, so we're pretty zoomed out here and it looks like there's, you know, a lot of information and data here. There is. It's actually really simple, though, to understand this data is historical best bid and offer. It is the volume with the volume dots here, where the volume traded on that historical best bid and offer. And then the the third element here is this heat map, OK, this grayscale heat map that you see here. And all this is is the recording of the of the dome. So all of the the data that you see in the dome is recorded and projected onto the chart. That's all we're looking at here. OK, we have an indicator subpanel, but I'm going to close that and we have a subpanel here as well for volume. So let me let me cover the some of the features here by really simplifying this chart and turning off all of these levels of data. And just look here at a simple volume dots. I want that off. I want this on. There we go. OK, and historical best bid and offer off. OK, here's our candlestick chart. Five minute candlestick chart. Open high, low, close of a specific time period, in this case, five minutes. And, you know, I like candlestick charts. I like the, you know, starting to understand the speed of the market, understanding the, you know, pressure buying pressure in the Wix or selling pressure and then understanding the the the body as well. And then, you know, getting an overall feel here, the problem with the candlestick chart here, there are many. Number one is its aggregated data. Open high, low, close of five minute period. And that's it. We're making pretty important financial trading decisions here. We need a lot more transparency than just open, high, low, close and just kind of guessing at where traders are committed within this candlestick chart. OK, that's all opaque here. We don't know where they traded. We don't have the volume here on this candlestick chart. We don't know where it traded, how much and the type of trader, more aggressive buying or selling. And that's a problem. And Bookmap solves that issue with the volume dots. All right. There's also, and I'll switch on the volume dots in just a minute. What else we're missing here is because this information in the candlestick chart is aggregated, we're not getting the microstructure, OK? And it's just a really simple thing. If we just look at historical best bid and offer, we're going to see microstructure, OK? So up here in this area, we really don't, in the candlestick chart, you can see the wicks, OK? But what is really occurring here is you can see that we broke out, OK? Let me just illustrate this, OK? We broke out from this area here. You see the breakout and you see the consolidation and acceptance above that breakout area here at this 6283 level. And then you can see the sharp break of this consolidation right here, OK? This consolidation we don't see in the candlestick chart. We just see some wicks up here, OK? This is an important area to understand for this reversal. And then we break that, this consolidated area here, OK? And you can see the quick move to the downside. And then look at this kind of climb back up into that area where we broke from. We're not able to go above this line here that I just drew in at 83. And the sellers take control, all right? And that's why we can see that we've moved down to the swing down here at this 63 level down here, all right? So just this microstructure is giving us a lot of insight. And that's the problem with the candlestick chart is you'll lose that microstructure. You just don't get it because it's aggregated, all right? So now let's turn on the volume dots and let's see exactly where we're trading, OK? So the volume dots here solve that issue of where are the traders committed, OK? And starting to understand order flow changes by looking at this volume, all right? And so let's just zoom into this area up here, OK? And this five-minute period from here over to here, OK? Here's the price action. This is really what occurred within this candle, OK? Well, this candle ended here, I'm, yeah, I'm sorry, it ended right here, OK? And actually it moved down immediately, actually. This is what really occurred, OK? It closed here, moved down immediately, and then moved right back up. And then you see the breakout of this area here, OK? So and look at the aggressive buying here, OK? The breakout of this 83 level that we're illustrating, OK? These are initiated buyers. This is a sweep of the book. This is what we go over in the educational course, OK? Understanding this kind of movement here are basic market mechanics, but they're extremely profound in their significance here, OK? Because this is a move to the upside. We come back, we test where we just broke from here, and we can see that we just chop around. And we're not able to get back up into some of the highs here. In fact, you can see the selling here come in. All of this information is within this five-minute period. And we're getting a lot of insight here by just looking at the breakout. And then seeing sellers come in, testing back down here. And then we're not able to make a new high here, OK? Back up into this area, all right? All of that information here is just not there in the candlestick chart. We don't see it, all right? But now we have really good information on where traders are committed and how much they traded and where exactly and what type, all right? So what do I mean by what type? Let's zoom into this little area up here, OK? And what I mean by what type is the aggressive buying and selling? So zoomed in here, now we're looking at very simplified version of the, well, it's not a version. It's looking at historical best bid and offer here. Best offers the red line, best bid is the green line. That's it, OK? And then these dots here, these transactions, these are trade events that took place, OK? Now, a green dot is an aggressive market buy order, OK? This trader wanted it, they wanted to buy here, so they hit the market buy button. And we know exactly what traded here and what time and date and what was on the offer or ask. And this was for volume of one. This is one, and this is one as well, OK? So we can see three contracts traded here. In fact, it's right here as well. And there's also another trade that took place over here, OK? But this is a market sell, all right? You can see it here, it's a red dot, OK? They cross the spread and hit the market sell button here, OK? So that's it, it's just really simplified information. And however, we're looking down at microsecond level here. We can continue to zoom in, but I'll spare you that detail. But watch as I start to zoom out, OK? And you'll see that all of these dots here will start to consolidate just graphically or visually, OK? Into a bigger dot. So those two separate trades are now for volume of two here in a bigger dot. So that's what we're doing as we start to zoom out. And to make sense of all of this volume back and forth, you're going to note that this turns into a bigger dot. And we can see the overall shape of the volume that took place up here. So yeah, there was a lot of aggressive buying, OK? That moved price to the upside. We start to see some of that selling now here in this pie display of the chart or the volume dot. So more than half was aggressive buying, but there was some selling in here, OK? And we can see it in the pie display. As I continue to zoom out, this is the overall shape here. We consolidate it just graphically, just visually. All of the information is still there. We can zoom right back in very quickly and see everything. And we can zoom right back out really quickly, OK? And we're getting the overall shape, though, of what really occurred here, all right? So that's how bookmap displays the volume. And we can start to piece all of this together and start to see shifts in the order flow. So for example, all of this aggressive buying here to the upside. And look at this double and triple top here. And look at the aggressive buying up here, OK? It's not like this, OK? They're drying up. They're exhausting, OK? We're not finding buyers any longer, aggressive buyers, OK? Instead, we rotate down below this little microstructure. And we see sellers start to come into the market, OK? This is a reversal that's starting to take shape, OK? Very clearly, all right? So this is what we look for. And we start to understand shifts in the order flow based on where we see the volume and how much is trading and what type of volume. And this volume is an important part. But what about the depth of market, OK? Let's zoom out and let's view the current market, OK? All right, let me zoom in a little bit here so we get some numbers. All right, so the current market, how do we access the dome in bookmap? Well, it's in these data columns here. There's an option for current order book, OK? That's the dome in bookmap, all right? So you can see here the numbers at these price levels here. And then you can see best bid and offer right here, OK, at 77. So this is the depth on the offer and this is the depth on the bid. And this is important information. It's the auction. We know where traders are lined up and that's what we use the dome for, is to understand the depth. Where are traders lined up and where might we trade into because they're providing liquidity up at these areas? We want to know that information. It leads to a lot of insight. And the problem though with the dome is it just gives the current market information, OK? These numbers are always changing. We can see them rapidly changing right now, right? So traders are coming in and adding and pulling liquidity all the time. The problem with the dome is that it only gives the current snapshot of what's going on, OK? It doesn't record the history of it. So if you want to utilize the dome, you're going to have to remember these areas here. And it's actually, it's possible, it's going to take a lot of mental energy to remember these areas and know the behavior not only at some of these price levels, but the areas around it, OK? Are they bidding up in front of it or are they pulling and adding down below it? Or are they, what about on the offer? How are they behaving? That's a lot of information to try to comprehend. Bookmap solves that issue by the heat map, OK? So what we do in this window, which is still the current market window here with best bid and offer, current best bid and offer, last traded volume with these numbers, is we take these areas of high liquidity and we paint them bright in the heat map, all right? So when these numbers change, you're going to see the heat map color change or grayscale change. Soon it will be color, the new version coming out. But so now what we've been able to do when we change these numeric values into a graphical representation, we're starting to understand the behavior of these traders historically because we take this data and project it onto the chart historically, OK? So for example, look at the behavior here. We're able to decipher so much information here. We can see that a pretty aggressive here on the offer and they just got filled here, it looks like, at the 77 level, OK? But look at how they're lowering the offer with high liquidity and look at this player here, OK? It's got to be the same player. That was at 78. He pulled his liquidity here and added one full point lower. That's a rather common behavior of larger players. It looks like he's still here, OK? He's here and then he just pulled and then added back up. He was at 76, you know, round number and then came up to 77 here and now he pulled his liquidity at 77 as well, OK? And look at these guys down here at 73. They just pulled their liquidity, OK? So we're able to read the dome historically now and that's going to give us a lot of insight because now we can zoom out and not only use the dome for current market action and activity, but for much bigger picture. And we're able to understand where they're lined up in the limit order book, historically and currently, so we can understand the evolution of the auction here. And that's going to give us a lot of insight. We can start to understand the dome much better by understanding the behavior here of these traders, OK? Because these traders, you know, a lot of people say that the dome is rather useless because there's so much fake liquidity, OK? I mean, there are a lot of orders that are pulled, like we're noticing here, OK? And that high liquidity is pulled in some of these areas. You know, it happens all day long. But we're able to make the distinction between high liquidity that stays in the book and fills or pulls. And that's where you're also going to really be able to utilize book map because you can make that distinction. Like, we can zoom into this level here, this 77 here, OK? And let's zoom in here and let's look at exactly the behavior here, all right? Well, here 69 contracts traded because I have a volume column here for this chart range. And let's go right to here. So actually 56 traded here within this range, well, within all of this range here. But how much liquidity was here, OK? Well, if I go back here, here's 56 contracts were here, OK? And then look at it trade into that high liquidity and this guy's staying in the book, OK? So this trader here, and then he starts to pull some of it, all right? This trader that was providing this high liquidity is getting filled, OK? So this was not fake liquidity. And we know that. That's fact, OK? So now we're able to make that distinction, OK? So on the, that was over here, I believe. Now we have this really nice move to the upside here, OK? So starting to understand the specific areas and the liquidity here in the auction and if they got filled in that auction, OK? Or if they pulled. And that's going to allow us insight to larger players activity. And we start to piece together the context of that. And that's what we do in the Advanced Order Flow Webinar, OK? Is putting all of those pieces together in context and reading the tape, which is the traded volume, OK? And then reading the auction, which is the heat map here. And have a full view of really what's going on in the current and the historical market, OK? So let's wrap it up. We'll call it a day. And for those of you in the trial, we'll see you in the Advanced Order Flow Webinar in just a couple minutes, all right? Thanks.
