How much does the data feed cost during the trial? Okay. Good question So let me jump over here and show you bookmap calm and we'll click on explore So I'm going to answer that Not directly here, but kind of indirectly Lloyd. So hang hang with me for a bit Watch some of these intro videos to give you an idea of what's going on in bookmap and then we'll scroll down here Well, we can click on connectivity Okay, so this is how you connect bookmap to the futures markets. Okay, and also the Nasdaq total view and I'll talk about that in just a minute So you will need to have your own data feed Lloyd So we connect to CQG rhythmic again stage five as you can see here, which offers all of these As well. They're a brokerage We also connect via the API in Ninja seven and eight The API also for trading technologies or TT X trader pro As well as the API for the interactive brokers traders workstation Okay, so the rest are just data feeds like any other You would connect bookmap like any other platform because we are a platform. All right, so IQ feed transact CQG rhythmic gain capital those you all connect directly by inputting your data feed Credentials into bookmap and you'll be up and running just like Ninja trader or TT. Okay And those those costs for data feeds vary. All right, so we are not a data provider We are just a software platform All right, and that's that's pretty typical in the in the futures markets so Now there's one other connection That we actually do have a partnership and we are providing through the website and that is the introduction for Dev experts or DX feed which will connect bookmap to us equities only Okay, so it will be NASDAQ total view and last sale So it's it's it doesn't it's not just the NASDAQ. It's basically all us equities Okay, but that is the data feed. It is an excellent data feed for a number of reasons and we can get into it later But let's go down to pricing So here is What you need in order to give bookmap a Try or if you're interested in outright purchase.

Okay? And then you can watch some of the selected webinars here that that we've made available here so for example yesterday's advanced live webinar is available here and We've we've just added it here to the selected webinars. So if you want to get a taste or feel for what These these webinars are about you can watch the recording here. Okay, we also have the a few recordings here as well of the Platform details webinar that you're in right now Okay, and then there's a professional trader here futures trader 71 that uses bookmap So if you want to check out that Take a look at there Okay, all right. Well, let's jump into bookmap all right and Yeah, I'm not really sure what to look at here. Let's take a look at the ES Let's look at oil kind of I kind of like the ES to be honest Yeah, we'll stick with oil and we'll take a look at this. All right, so let me Start here and this is what we go through this process every day so that The new people here understand what you're looking at and this is a good review nonetheless. All right, so All right. Now. This is a one-minute candlestick chart I'm gonna make this into a Five-minute candlestick chart Okay, that looks a little bit better Okay, so most of us are very familiar looking at a candlestick chart the the problem here with a candlestick chart is There's only four data points that you are looking at here Let me make this a little smaller here It's just the open high low close of a five-minute period and that is it Okay, reading the order flow within here is possible to do However, you're making all sorts of assumptions that you have you really have no idea where for example Where are the traders committed? Was this buying pressure? or you know was this Just a lack of Buying and or or selling a lack of selling so we just came back up You know, there's all sorts of data here that is missing. Okay The traded volume is is a is a massive piece that is missing here We see it in the sub chart here and that's good, but we have no idea Where the majority of the traders traders committed themselves within this five-minute period? Okay, we don't know where on the candle. We don't know what type of volume it was. Was it aggressive buying or selling? we don't know when exactly it took place within that five-minute period and Yeah, in the in the location where okay, which is really key data and Without that data. We're missing a really big part of the picture. So bookmap solves that issue here with Let me just turn on just the historical best bid and offer to begin with and We're just Just turning on this you can see we're already seen a little bit of structure with In this five-minute period and and that can be really insightful So for example up in this little structural area here Okay, this is something we go over in the advanced webinars all the time Okay We we see a nice move to the upside. Okay. It bases sideways. We see one more tap to the upside here And then it breaks down Okay, now it comes back up and tests very briefly into This structural area up here and then it sells off hard All right, seeing these little structural areas here and understanding how price is Behaving in this area as well as how the traders are committing themselves with volume It really gives you the insight. Okay, so that's a that's what we're gonna do We're gonna turn on the volume dots here. Okay, and now we have an understanding of where the volume is trading and where they're committed Okay, so it's not much of a surprise here to see the aggressor here The green dots pulling the price up to the upside. Okay, that's usually what occurs when you have a breakout of an area and and you have the volume trading at higher highs and then And we can see that that order flow kind of flipped right here okay And we can see that Note how there's a more selling down here. Okay, and look at the retest up here Okay, there's a little bit of buying but not that much. Let me zoom in. I'll just click on the hand tool And then I'm just gonna zoom into this area here with my center mouse wheel Okay, so buying buying and buying and then even more buying here Okay, but a nice cluster of selling down below This break here at this 48 10 or 11 Okay We get a retest here and the buyers dry up. We don't even get a test of the high again Okay, really insightful stuff. Okay start to look for price discovery to the downside and we got it very very quickly here all right, so Now you have the understanding of what occurred within these five minute periods and let's go back to this candle here Okay, so majority of the volume traded down here in the wick Okay, not a lot traded here as we can see it it moved very quickly down there And then all the volume traded down in this area all right Okay, and and again structure we can we can look right at it and I can we can tell you like We know that there is a structure here okay, and Basically here But I'll go with the bigger structure over in this area here We come right back up to test that and we base sideways in between it Okay, so you can see just historical best bid and offer gives us a lot of insight But then understanding the the the transactions within that structure Really starts to give us the the the big picture here of the order flow or a clearer picture of the order flow Okay all right, so That is just the volume now, let's go to current price okay, and in the current picture of the market here in oil Okay, we see the same kind of pattern here actually starting to occur to the upside see this we drew this line in here earlier Just just a minute ago at 4780. We broke that structure right here right and And now we're moving to the upside okay, so the What I want to cover is just now the the current picture of of price and what's going on So we have the transactions and that's historical and we know exactly where the traders are have Transacted and have basically committed into the market All right, and we know what type they are as well. Okay aggressive buyers here for example and but we also want to see the other side of the order flow, which is the Where they're bidding and offering Okay, so we usually use a dome for that. Okay, and this is the dome and book map right here Okay, we can see best bid and offer is right here. Okay, 53 and 75 and That's reflected here in this window here as well Okay, we see best bid and offer dashed lines and then this this number is a last traded volume Okay, now the depth of the offer is up to this white line here. Okay, this is all live Data, so they're constantly adding and pulling liquidity the sellers up here on the offer at these price levels are willing to provide Liquidity up here. They want to deal up at some of these areas here Okay, and then on the bid That's where they want to be buyers at these specific price levels And this is really insightful because we can see where traders are Lining up to to deal and you know, we'll see if they really want to trade when we get up there But you can see there's there's these are like targets and right now 4805 okay, not the figure interestingly enough 4805 is where the majority of that selling liquidity is up here 205 contracts All right, that's that's the kind of insight that the limit order book or the dome can give you Okay, problem is with this dome is that this data Changes and once it changes you don't have a record of it. You don't know where It were there, you know, what say this these guys pull liquidity at 05 here and it's 70 okay So all of a sudden we don't know if there was interest up here before at 4805 or not and You would have to remember that just in your head of the areas here of interest areas around It as well and what about on the bid? Okay, where are they interested in dealing as well? And that's a lot of information to keep in your mind and to trade and for those of you who do trade off of the dome looking For the order flow here Understand how taxing that can be where bookmap solves that issue is by recording the data Okay, so Now areas of high liquidity so that 206 up here. Okay, it's a really bright area in this window here This is the current market window. Okay To the right of this vertical white line. So you'll see what when the liquidity changes the The heat map here will change. Okay, and it gets darker grade. They're pulling liquidity when it gets brighter They're adding liquidity All right, so I've got it pretty We can adjust for that as well because you know, it looks like these are all the same here at 186 in this 223 It's not that it's just that the we can adjust for that in the heat map and We can you know look at some of these subtleties here in that in that liquidity by adjusting the heat map Okay, all right So we see that there's some selling interest here right up at the high here Okay, 185 All right So now where this really gets interesting in bookmap and this is the the distinction between us and others is We take this data here this intent to trade at these levels Okay in the limit order book and then we transpose it on the chart historically Okay, so you can see that See these striations right here at this 4790 level. Okay, we can use this rollover tool as well and we can see that We get the date the time and then what was on the ask at 4790 so we had a hundred and fifty eight contracts here and then they boosted it up to a hundred and eighty hundred and seventy six And then and then they pulled right at the last moment when price came in Close to them and then they got right back in with two hundred and four contracts okay, and Right here we can see that there was a transaction was met between Those that were willing to sell and those that were willing to buy Okay, you can see the volume dot that took place here okay, so now we have a really good understanding of The the intent of these traders at this level. Okay, they really wanted to sell Okay, and we can see that the majority of them did sell right here Okay, in fact we can zoom in to this little area here and we can tell I can tell you exactly what what transacted Okay, so as you can see They a lot of it. I mean we saw the big volume dots, but look at at the last minute here. They started to pull Okay, although I have my volume column over here, and I can see that 171 contracts traded right here. Okay at 4790 and remember here We had 193 or 208 here previously so the majority of it did trade And then some of it was polled so about you know 35 contracts were polled All right now there's all sorts of things going on here potential spoofing type of activity with high liquidity right underneath here pressing on price, but these Traders here really don't have the intent to trade its high liquidity that stays in the book for a very very short period Okay, and then they pull Right, and you can see that behavior here and look how this algo is Showing us the same thing. It's it's got to be Very high probability. It's the same actor has high liquidity here 194 contracts as soon as they pull it They add it up here All right, so And then it looks like they pulled again, and then they added yet a tick higher But a little bit of time elapsed in between Okay, looks like it looks to me like they're trying to skew the auction To get price to come up into high liquidity Okay, we have the figure and we have our we have the highest liquidity up here at 4805 All right, so now what we're doing is we're able to read and understand the intent of these traders in That limit order book and how they're behaving as well as understanding all of the transactions in the volume and Now we have a complete picture of the of the order flow Okay, okay, so And again We can look at that historical best bid and offer and just look at some structure here Okay, and this is where we broke and look at the high liquidity up here that kind of you know Put a damper on things until the buyers took them on and look where we're retesting. Okay This is this is where we start to get into the more advanced analysis look where we're retesting right to where we broke from here at 4790 Okay, so our buyer is going to come in here and support price Again, are we looking for the 4805 to to to be tested? Okay, and it looks pretty good Okay, but we need to you know Need to wait here and get get a feel for that that order flow like for example right now We continue to test here a bunch of times and we have not been able to get up above this 4798 area here in fact now we're starting to read some of the traders getting interested here or more aggressive They're starting to show a little bit of interest here in that at 95 here as you can see And now that's short term liquidity though the longer term liquidity still up here Okay All right, so Anyway, now you're able but the the key point here is is twofold number one Well, there's actually three parts number one the historical best bid and offer gives us the microstructure number two is now we can see where the transactions are taking place within the microstructure and We can read that order flow and then number three we can read the intent of traders outside of the Historical best bid and offer Okay, so for example look at these guys now at at 4790. Okay, they are supporting price here Okay, they were over here on the offer and we're accepting Above that right now and now they're getting interested in buying here at 4790 all right, so That's the three distinct pieces and how The problems with current charting platforms that they lack some of the insight in the areas here because They're not they don't have that kind of level of transparency to be able to see this this picture here to microstructure, okay candlesticks are lacking that and the The volume and the transactions within that structure, okay, we don't get any of that at all and then understanding the The limit order book we get the current picture of it. Okay in a dome and that's good but we don't get the historical picture of it and Here we can we can clearly start to to read it and piece it together Okay, so as as we were looking here and we saw that buying interest come in look how we're coming up and now testing This this 4798 it looks pretty good. Okay. Now. This is that this is the chance if those guys want to Lift the offer and come up into 4805 then this is there. This is their opportunity and then interestingly enough they're starting to pull up here. Okay Okay, so let's see Lloyd. How does this show me set up and go long or short? Okay. Um, well Let's let's take a look at a setup Okay, very very simple setup. There's we went through several examples of it here. Okay Here's a break to a new level look for a pullback to where it broke from and looking for Either top of the range to be retested. Okay, and you can get out there or if you're bullish hold this and look for the next level to break as well Okay, so You you could buy the breakout if you wanted here or you could buy the pullback here Okay, you could have done that here and you could have done that here. All right. Okay, so You could have done that several times here in fact You could you've could have done it here. You could have probably gotten back in again yet here All right, and then if you bought the or didn't get the breakout here But you got the pullbacks here here and then maybe down here as well And then look out to look to get out maybe at the top of the range or if you're bullish hold it All right. There's all sorts of setups that are available here. I Mean, I know a lot of traders look at profiles. Well, here's a low volume node and we're just going into it right now Okay, so are you let's take a look at the order flow Okay Yeah, it's not it's not so not so clear at the moment in fact and sellers sellers that took control in this area here But let's see if we reject or accept Okay, so Let's see if we come back up into this range up here. Okay, if we come back up into this range I'm looking for the other side in 48 to get tested Okay, that's another setup Okay If we accept down here, then what I'm looking for is the opposite of what I was looking for over here I'm looking for a retest to where we broke from right here At 4790 or basically 89 All right. No, so let's see if we get a retest of that Okay So now we're testing 4780. Okay, we just traded through it Boy, it's just going it's gonna go all the way down. Okay, so now I'm looking at the at 60 66 here. Okay, and let's see if we get some support down here at 66 Okay, we're there. Okay, and let's see if we see the responsive buyers start to step in now Okay, I Would anticipate buying activity in this area here Okay, because it's the bottom of this range here and we've just gone through two different ranges I think there's gonna they're gonna take some profit down in this area here Okay, I would be looking for a retest of 4780 Okay, there's So Lloyd to answer your question Very specifically We're not a setup We're not an indicator it would be like Asking ninja trader or trade station or thinkorswim You know, okay, so how do I how do I trade using your platform? You know, what what's your setup? Well, there is no one setup There are several I mean it's up to you to find out how, you know, you want to trade the market All right. All right guys. I need to get going here and if You know what I'll do tomorrow you show up to the the webinar tomorrow And I will give you the link to check out the advanced webinar if that interests you. Okay, so You know, let me know and then we can we can take a look at you guys can take a sneak peek at the advanced webinar before Before we go on vacation here Okay, Victor you have jigsaw You like their dome There's lots of differences between us and and and them So the I mean we boy, I mean where do you even begin? The You know One thing is like, you know, we're you won't be able to do this Okay, you won't be able to zoom in here and study every single event Right, you won't be able to come in here and you'll be able to understand exactly see the algorithmic activity here Look at the spacing Look at how this these markets trade. Okay, but then being able to analyze very specifically the the limit order book here in the in the detail the updates of this is is You know, it's going to be pretty pretty insightful compared to some of the other platforms that are out there All right, and that's just one example, and I'm sorry. I could go in Why don't you Victor reach out to me at support at book map dot-com and I'll be happy to go through that in some detail, okay Yeah, you're welcome. No, I just I'm sorry. I'm already late to the next one and I've got to get going Okay, but we'll continue on tomorrow and I'll give you guys the The link and you can you can check out the advanced one as well. Okay. All right guys. Yeah, take care. Bye. Bye
