 Okay, welcome to the beginning of the week here with the Bookmap Platform Details webinar. Risk disclaimer, trading equities and futures involve substantial risk of loss. It's not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results. For more information about Bookmap, you can go to bookmap.com. There's a free trial for 14 days. If you engage into the trial, you get access to the education as well. Well, I mean, this is education here in the platform details for you to ask about the platform. The furthering of that education is for those that are in trial or current customers. They are beyond that point and they want to know more about understanding the order flow in real time and how to read it in Bookmap. And that's what we go through and that webinar will begin in about 25 minutes. It's every day following this platform webinar. So you guys can, if you're in trial or current customer, you can come to both ask your platform questions here. I'll answer them and then look at the live order flow and how to use Bookmap and apply it in the advanced analysis webinar. Okay, any questions you can reach out to us at bookmap support at bookmap.com. Let me show you where you can find it. Go to bookmap.com here at the top. The free webinar is here, which I imagine you clicked on to get here. Let's click on explore. There are some intro videos here very short and then scroll down. There are, we have Bookmap for equities as well as all the futures that you can connect via these data providers and brokers. Okay, so you will need to have a data provider or broker. And these are the ones that we support. So let me know if you have any questions because there's a lot of different ways of connecting Bookmap here. We are a platform just like Ninja Trader or TT or whatever. So we can also connect via the API of Ninja Trader and TT. It's up to you. So anyway, scroll down a little bit further. This is where you can find Bookmap. Now the basic version is 49 per month and is billed quarterly. You get that 14-day trial period. Okay, now these other features are for the Bookmap Advanced and Quant that add upon the basic. And it's 99 per month for the Bookmap Advanced. It's billed quarterly. You get the 14-day free trial as well. The difference here is you get the ability to trade from the Bookmap Chart, which is a nice advantage since we have a nice heatmap that shows all of the liquidity in the auction right in front of you. So you can react to that. And then there's these proprietary indicators that we have for order flow, understanding where larger players are with a large lot tracker, understanding iceberg orders, where they're going off, looking at order book and balances here, and a correlation tracker as well. And if you're a quant and you need to hook up your own data and do your data analysis, well, you can reach out to us and we can work some sort of solution to meet your needs. Okay? If you want a comparison, it's here. You can click on this link and you'll see the kind of map here of all the different features that you get with the different versions. All right? Let's see here. You can also follow us here on Twitter and then subscribe to our Facebook channel, or I'm not Facebook, we do have Facebook as well, the YouTube channel here. So for those of you who are new and you want to learn more about Bookmap, I would recommend starting with actually these intro videos, get an overall feeling of what Bookmap is, and then features and components. So start with these. What is Bookmap? What are some of these features and components? And then order flow video snippets. These are very similar to the webinar, the advanced webinar. So looking at phenomena in the limit order book and understanding that phenomena, Bookmap shows levels of transparency that are unique. And these videos here talk about that. They're very short. And in the advanced webinars, we go through these concepts in detail, like flip of the book or absorption, exhaustion, finding those larger players, et cetera. So let's jump in and take a look at Bookmap and let's see what's moving here. Larger time frame. We can take a look at the NASDAQ or maybe crude oil here. I also have some equities if you guys are interested in some equities. So here's NASDAQ. And yeah, let's we can take a look here at the NASDAQ. Now we're above the 6,000 level and you can see the high liquidity in here. Now, before I get involved into it, let me take a step back because most of us that have been trading for even decades here, this might look rather foreign to you. So let me describe what you're looking at here and we'll start off with taking layers of data off. Now it's not that complex of a chart here. It's actually a very objective view of the market. We're showing where volume traded and we're also showing you where they were bidding and offering. And I'll explain further here as I go through the process. So let's just take off layers of data here and let's look at just a five-minute candlestick chart of the NASDAQ and here we are. So we can see the 930 open. You can see although we do have a volume sub chart here and this is good. However, there are only four data points for each candle. There are all sorts of data here that we have no idea of what's going on and that's a problem because it's just open, high, low, close and wicks and bodies here. That's all we're looking at. And we're trying to make financial decisions based on that. It's kind of like reading the tea leaves here. It's a little bit of a voodoo-like. So let's get into some of the transparency that Bookmap is showing you to offer you much more informed trading decisions and we're going to start by just showing historical best-bidden offer and we're going to see micro structures within these five-minute candlestick periods. So that gives us a lot of insight here. Just that alone. Like I can already see it down here. So let's go into this 930 open and take a look. So you can see before 930 we're basing sideways and right here we break the top of this micro structure. We get a double bottom test here and we broke it here as you can see but we come back to test again and buyers are still here. So we're going to see a lot of green, aggressive bind pulling price up but you can see these structural areas within these five-minute periods and they have significant meaning here. And like this little cluster and sideways action and then look at the drop. Look where we come back to to test right in that area. None of that transparency is here within that candlestick. We have no idea about that. So now let's turn on the volume dots and let's see exactly where traders committed themselves in the market. So here's the 930 open and we're looking for those green dots pulling the price up and here they are. We see a massive amount of buying. And we come back and retest these areas here. And look at the selling down here. The dots here and let me zoom in are showing us where the sellers and buyers are on the historical best bid and offer. So let's zoom in actually to this little cluster up here. And let me show you what this looks like. Historical best offer is right here with the red line. Best bid is with the green line. That's it. It's very, very simple. Historical best bid and offer. And then we're showing you here with the dots the volume that traded on the historical best bid and offer. And the volume that we're showing here is aggressive orders, aggressive market orders. So for example, this green dot right here, this and we can use the rollover tool or the data tip tool. And you can see I get the date, the time. What was on the ask here and then the volume. So this was for volume of three. Someone hit the market buy button and were filled with three by three contracts. They took liquidity off of the best offer. This guy here, he's for volume of one and he hit the market sell button and took liquidity off of the best bid. So it's aggressive because they want in the market, they paid up the spread and they didn't provide liquidity. They took liquidity. Okay. So that's what you're seeing here in book map. And as I zoom out though, note how we will take that microstructural very minute data here. In fact, we can continue to zoom in and pull apart every single trade activity here as you can see down to microsecond level or you can even go down to nanosecond level. You know, you can see the timeline down here. So we're looking at billions of seconds. Okay. But we don't trade off of those levels. Right. So as I zoom back out, note how we will visually aggregate this data. All right. And in a compressed that timeline, there's so many trades that took place that we have to give the overall shape of what occurred there with this pie display of the volume. So we know that about three quarters of this volume up here is aggressive selling. I mean buying because it's all green. Okay. So let's hover over that dot and we see it's for volume of 150. Okay. So it gives you the precise data if you want it, if you want to zoom in and really study and understand, look at how they lifted the offer here. Okay. They swept the book upwards. They took all of that liquidity. All right. So this is what we look at in book map all the time. And we're getting a lot more transparency now just by understanding these microstructures and understanding the commitment of these traders, what type of traders they are and where they traded and how much. And all of that is lacking here. We just see a volume sub chart and that's it. So that level of transparency is unique. It's very similar to a footprint chart except the footprint chart, for example. What you're not going to get with a footprint chart is these microstructures. Okay. And there's all sorts of good things in here. We can already see the look at how they broke this little structure came back and tested right where they broke from and we see them continue to buy. All of that's going to be lacking here in a footprint chart. You're just going to see it aggregate back and forth and that's lacking transparency. Okay. Now, knowing all of this microstructure and commitment of the traders with their volume is good. However, it's really about half of the information here or even quite a bit less than that. We also want to understand where they are offering and bidding in the market. Okay. It's an auction. So we want to understand where they're lined up to provide liquidity. It gives tremendous insight. Usually the way that we access that information, it's going to be in the limit order book, okay, the dome. Here it is in book map, these data columns. Okay. This is our price ladder and then COB. This stands for current order book. Okay. And you can see we have 10 levels in the book here that are lit right now that are live on the offer and then 10 on the bid. Okay. This is the best bid and offer right here. All right. So now we have the current order book. We understand where traders are lined up. Now, the problem with the current order book, although it gives you insight for that current snapshot. Once that data changes, then you have no idea unless you remember it and write it down or have a log in your mind somehow about how they were bidding or offering. What about the areas around it? Did they pull or did they stay in the book? What about did they offer lower or higher, et cetera? This gives tremendous insight in understanding the behavior at specific price levels. Okay. The way book map solves that issue is by showing this limit order book historically. Okay. So we do that graphically here. All right. So I'm going to turn on the heat map. Okay. So the final piece here, well, we have indicators and I'll show you some of those. But the final piece here is we'll take this limit order book and give it a grayscale heat map graphical solution here. So now we know. This is where we see the majority of the sellers. And what about on the bid? Well, we see it's pretty dark. It's starting to pop in here at 05 in a quarter and show a little bit of interest here. But that's the current market condition. And then previously though, let's see, we'll take this data and we project it on the chart historically. So you can see here, sellers are interested. They've been interested at this level of 6,010 for quite a while. We also can read the areas around it. Look how they're offering lower here. They're starting to front run these guys, 106 contracts. And they're starting to show higher liquidity in front of it. Now they're starting to bid a little bit lower as well. Now we're really understanding this auction. And we can gauge the intent of these traders in book map here. So that's the final piece here. Let's take off the candlesticks and let's look at the add-on indicators as well. Now I have an understanding of where they're committed and where they are on the offer and on the bid in real time and historically. And that's basically what book map is showing you here. So the understanding that that auction, the behavior, intent of these traders combined with that traded volume gives you that complete picture of the order flow. All right, so let's start to read it a little bit here. What's going on? Well, here in the NASDAQ, I'm kind of curious to see that we come up here and look at the aggressive buying up in this area here. They're starting to dry out. In fact, they're getting more aggressive on the offer. We know that here as we were just covering. But what about the aggressive buyers up here? Well, I don't see so many. In fact, I start to see sellers come in here at this area. And this is getting kind of exhaustive. The market's kind of exhausting out up here. Now we might get another rotation here. Maybe the buyers will start to scoop it up down at these lower levels here. But as we can see right now, and buyers are starting to come in now, OK? Now they're starting to lift the offer a bit, OK? But sellers jump right back in, OK? And now they're 07, they're here. So combining this together, I want to see this 05 and a quarter tested here. And it's looking like we have a little more selling at the lows here. So I'm looking for continuation to the downside, OK? So just putting the pieces together here about the transactions and the auction, all right? Now it's not that, to be honest, reading it today, it's not looking so clear. And let me explain why. I want to see more aggressive selling, more red dots at lower lows, OK? Here they come. Now they're starting to come in. That looks a little bit better, OK? But I want to see it in these areas here. I want to see them auctioned this out correctly, and I want to see them committed. And then the limit order book looks good. I like seeing this 07 here, OK? Here we go. So now we can see them getting very aggressive here, OK? And we're just doing this objectively. We're starting to understand the commitment of these traders and this auction. And then you can start to anticipate moves based on what we know, OK? So we see this all day long, especially in the advanced order flow webinars. And this is what we do. We look for these things. We put these pieces together and start to anticipate some moves. Now the market is dynamic. You know, all of a sudden, like for example, you might see the aggressive buyers come in here and that picture changes. But we still have the data here, OK? We still know where they're committed. And if someone comes in and flips and turns the tables here, let's say we get down here, for example, we just made lows in this area here, OK? We breached this low. But we're right back into the middle of the range now, OK? Well, I mean, if buyers want to step it up, they can. In this little area right here at 02, and they can be pretty aggressive. Maybe the first stop would be 04, because that's where the liquidity is. And then 07 up here, OK? At the moment, I don't see them. I'm looking for more selling to come in, all right? But yeah, I would like to see more selling down here. This is not the greatest. And in fact, now we just got another retest of it here. And we can see there's not that much selling, OK? If the aggressive buyers want to come in up in this area here and we see a lot of green aggressive market buys, this looks good, OK? Now we know. They're not committed down here. There's liquidity at 04. The aggressive buyers can come in and move it up into this area, OK? So we saw in this retest here a little more selling down here. That's not bad. It's basically just some sideways action here. One of the things that we look for is that this is where we broke hard, OK? And we saw them hit the bid pretty hard. Looking for retest back up to where we broke from, OK? To see if the sellers are still engaged up in this area here, OK? I would be looking actually here. To be honest, we broke here. But I see most of the selling is up in this area here, about this 04 and a half, OK? Here they come. Here come the buyers, OK? So now we've touched 04, OK? And we also have insight now. Look at 04. Did these guys, did these traders here on the sell side? Did they have intent to trade? No. We can answer that question emphatically. They pulled their liquidity. As soon as price came up, they pulled. So their intent to trade here was false. In fact, we can read this area here and we can see how they pulled that liquidity and added it up at higher levels. So this is bullish. They're retreating here on the offer. And we can see that behavior here. Let's see, JH, are you limited one instrument at a time? No. I have many markets open here. I have the ES. I have gold. I have oil. I have the 6E. And then I also have equities here, OK? I mean, just beautiful things here in equities. Like look how we came down, filled this high liquidity here, came down further into this $179.50. And no interest, no complete exhaustion down here, but high liquidity. And we can see they came in here pretty hard. Well, not that hard, but mostly buying. Here's our retest, mostly buying, looking for a nice move to the upside. And look at the $180 up here. Look at how they supported price now on the bid. High liquidity here at $180. This is a new understanding of price. It's between $180 and this $180.20. All right. Now you can also, in book map here, we can detach some of these into different charts and put them on different monitors. As you can see here, I've just detached the crude chart. And you can resize it, et cetera. If I close it here, it's just going to pop right back into my main window. And we can also just left click, hold, and drag that over and put this back to where it was. Yeah, you can trade from the chart here as well. With the book map advanced, you can start to place your orders if you enable it here. There is also some automated trading strategies here that are not your typical looking for a crossover of the MACD or RSI or anything like that. These are based on imbalances in the order book when you have an advantage and then engage your automated strategy. So this is part, these were developed here to showcase our API. So you can develop your own proprietary indicators in Java in book map. All right. OK, guys, well, that's it for now. Let's take a peek back at this NASDAQ and what occurred here. OK. Well, we saw the move to 04 and then just a little bit of sideways action. And it's not a lot of selling that took it down. So maybe some more sideways action in this area here. OK. Anyway, we'll continue on tomorrow. And yeah, asking you questions that you have. Happy to help you guys out. OK. All right, take care. Bye-bye.
