 Welcome to the Bookmap Platform Details webinar. This is Bruce at Bookmap, risk disclaimer, trading equities and futures involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. For more information, you go to bookmap.com and there's a 14-day free trial of the product, fully featured, and it comes with education. Okay, there is a Bookmap Educational Course. That would be the first thing to start to watch and start to digest. And then go to the advanced order flow webinars that I was just mentioning, okay? They start at 11 Eastern, okay? There are other resources as well. It's a pretty robust, you know, offering here that comes along with the platform, okay? All right, so let's take a look at Bookmap here. Okay, and just want to go through the basics in the website, okay? So start at the home page here and just drops down into the intro page and about Bookmap, there's a quick video here, just gives you an overview and then just information here about Bookmap, okay? There's also Bookmap for equities, okay? It's with this data feed here and NASDAQ TotalView, and if we continue on down, you will need connectivity, okay? We're a platform, we're not a data provider, okay? So you will need to connect Bookmap to one of these data providers, okay? Now, that said, you can see that there's some other platforms here like TTX Trader Pro, Ninja Trader, and Interactive Brokers Traders Workstation, okay? These platforms here, we connect to the API. So there's a kind of a number of different ways of connecting Bookmap, okay, if you use these platforms, right? A bit further down, this is where you can find the trial information, okay? 14 days free trial, there's Bookmap, Basic, Advanced, and then Quant, okay? If you want to know the differences here, there's a link down here that does a comparison of each feature. So there's really only one version of Bookmap, it's Bookmap Basic, it's 49 per month, billed quarterly, and you get that 14 day free trial, okay? Bookmap Advanced is the same as Basic, except for mainly these add-ons that you see here, okay? The one-click trading from the chart, nice advantage there because you see the liquidity heat map, we've been covering that in detail in the second webinar, how to use that heat map to your advantage for your trade management, okay? Especially with your targets and your stops. And then you can see there's proprietary indicators that we've put together that go through the order flow, all right? Quants, you'll have special needs for your own data or your own proprietary indicators, so click here to learn more about that. Social media, you can follow us on atbookmap underscore pro, okay? To get latest information and just understanding some of the other users that we will retweet. And then the Bookmap YouTube page, okay? There's some intro videos here for those of you who are new. And then there's the features and components here. This playlist, I would recommend if you're new to watch some of these just to get a feel for what it is, Bookmap, how it works, et cetera. And then these order flow video snippets. Now, these go through the concepts, conceptual content that we cover in detail in the live markets during the live webinar, okay? This is the phenomena, many of the different phenomena that we cover, okay? So just when we see something interesting, we'll make a video of it. They're very short here, but this is something that you wanna understand what the markets are doing, how Bookmap offers you transparency into what the markets are doing. Then these are the videos to watch, okay? All right, let's go back and let's take a look at Bookmap, okay? So let's wanna take a quick look at, you know, we could look at the ES today. ES has been moving. You know, it's up to you guys, put your comments in what you'd like to look at. We've been covering the NASDAQ for quite a while now. It's been bullish just because tech has been bullish and you can see that again here. Let's see, that's a five minute chart. So let's go to 30 minute. All right, so yeah, still very bullish and more bullish than the S&P, okay? But yeah, up to you guys, kind of like sticking with this NASDAQ, but if you guys wanna look at the S&P, I know there's many S&P traders, then let me know, all right? Okay, let's see. Okay, I got a question here from Brian immediately. Let's take a look at Bookmap, okay? Okay, Brian, all right. So let's go through some of these column settings. Okay, this is great. This is what this webinar here is for. For those of you who are new here, just want to quickly show you what Bookmap is displaying and I usually go through this in detail, okay? But I'm just gonna quickly go through it here, okay? So there's three elements. I mean, it looks like there's a lot going on this chart, okay? It's actually pretty simple. It's one of the most objective views you're gonna get of the marketplace, okay? And what you're looking at here is historical best bid and offer, okay? Volume dots and the heat map, okay? So if I just turn off all of these things and all we're looking at here, and that can turn on candles, okay? Just quickly look at some candlesticks here, but the candlesticks really don't give you much transparency because just looking at historical best bid and offer, that's all we're looking at here with the candle, okay? We're seeing all sorts of microstructural detail here that give significant input or understanding to what's going on with price. And that is lost in the candlesticks. It's because the candlestick aggregates that information on a bar, okay? Whereas you're seeing everything here in Bookmap, all right? So that's the historical best bid and offer, okay? Let's turn off the candles. Let's turn on the volume, okay? The volume dots, what we're looking at here, and let me turn down these dots, dot size, okay? What we're looking at here is the volume that transacts on the historical best bid and offer, okay? So very much like a footprint chart, we're showing you exactly where the volume is trading, what type of volume it is, and how much, all right? Very important information to understand. Now, the one benefit that you're gonna get looking at Bookmap compared to a footprint chart is the microstructure, okay? So little details like this, you may not see, you probably won't see in the footprint chart, see how we, you see the breakout here above this high, some consolidation here in the breakout again, okay? Now, that actually kind of failed. It came back down to the bottom of this range, but then the buyer stepped in here again. But starting to understand these little areas are key, all right? So that information is lost in other charting platforms because they aggregate it, all right? Whereas like if I zoom in here, we're gonna see every single detail, okay? Historical best bid and offer and every single transaction. All right, now combine that with the dome, okay? The depth of market. What we do is we take the dome here, let me zoom in, okay? Brian, I'm almost there, I'll get to your question. We take the dome data here. This is it here, let me get rid of this column, okay? The COB is a current order book, all right? We take this dome data and you can see all of the liquidity here. So a lot of liquidity up here at 33, right? Looks like we're just about to test it as well. And, you know, this is very important information. We're understanding the auction here. It is an auction and we're understanding the players in the auction, okay? We can see them here in the dome. The problem with the dome is once these numbers change and you can see they're changing all the time, once they change, that data is lost. Where bookmap solves that issue is we record it, okay? We record it in this window here with the heat map, okay? Here's your best bid and offer current, last traded volume here with the number. And here you can see these areas here. They're painted bright white, okay? That's that high liquidity, okay? You'll see subtleties in the heat map here. The grayscale will change, right? Now I can, you know, make this a little bit, bring up the settings here. So we can see the subtlety a little bit better here. Now you can change the heat map however you like. But what we're looking at now is these subtle, more subtle shifts in the liquidity and it's recorded in the heat map, okay? We're testing through 33, there we go. And we were looking at that and we just got it. Anyway, so you can see the change here take place and it's recorded and transposed on the chart historically, all right? So now we can start to gauge all sorts of information here by zooming out and understanding the players at these levels, if they're longer term, larger players that wanna get filled at these levels or if they have no intent to trade and they're starting to pull that liquidity. We see the auction here, we see it historically. That's the benefit that you're getting, all right? So let's get to Brian's question. He's talking about or asking about setting up some of the columns data here, okay? There's all sorts of ways of doing this and there's tremendous flexibility in these columns. So let's go through it, okay? So first thing is I'm just gonna right click in a column here, okay? And you can see I have the ability to format the column. This is a current order book column, okay? So I can also set the depth here if I want as well. Now I'm using Rhythmic, I have unlimited depth. So I like that view, I don't want to limit it and set the depth, okay? Anyway, let's click again. So these up here are some formats for the current order book and you can see that's what I have selected here with the radio dot, all right? You can see there's different types of data here. Everything that has a radio dot here, including two different notes, columns, they have a radio dot, these are different types of data. So I can choose volume if I want, all right? And then I can, I have other settings here for volume. Okay, I can reset it. I have all sorts of abilities here to reset the volume, or I can change it to a chart range or a session range, okay? Chart range just means give me the profile or the volume information for what's in my current window. So if I zoom in, you'll note how this column now reflects the volume there, okay? And session is for the entire session since when I opened up Bookmap, okay? All right, Brian, I think right off the bat that should answer your question on where you find all the settings. If I can go into further detail here. Yeah, let's just do it and play around with it, play around with the settings so you guys get a feel for what you're looking at here because there's unlimited settings almost and there's all sorts of things you can do here. Just great, great stuff. All right, so I'm gonna change this back to current order book, all right? And I have two different current order books set up here side by side, all right? Now you can also move these around, all right? So if I left click and hold, okay? I can drag this, I can even drag it to the other side of the chart, all right? So you can configure it any way you want, okay? And very quickly you can configure a pretty extensive dome here with all sorts of data and information. You can have multiple columns, right? I can click and insert or hide a column down here, right? So let's click and insert another one. You can see that it duplicates the one that I just came from and it duplicates it here on the right hand side, okay? So now let's right click here and let's format this column, okay? So I'm gonna format it and you can see I can show either the bid, okay? Or the ask and I can show an aggregate view of it. So that means that the first level is added to the second level, which is added to the third level, et cetera, okay? So this could be an important view for your current order book. If you are looking for, you know, if you're a larger player or if you're looking to see larger players coming with 100 lot, where they might get filled, right? Because 100 lots and we need to see the numbers here, okay? So where would that 100 lot trader get filled, okay? Well, right around here, right? He would only go like two levels basically, right? If he swept the book, okay? That's important to know, all right? It can be important to know. Anyway, that's an aggregate view. There's an extended view that shows the extended book or the historical book. Now, since I have unlimited depth here, this is irrelevant. You can show as bars, you can show as bars and numbers or numbers only, okay? You can split this data out as well, all right? So we can split it and then I can inverse that split, okay? All right, so, and then if you don't want that, you can justify it left, right, et cetera, et cetera, okay? That's the formatting. Let's turn it to a volume column, okay? And let's format that, all right? So now you can see it's CVP. If I hover over here, it says chart range volume profile, okay? All right, let's see. So I can change it to session range or there's all sorts of ways of resetting this information. Let me right click again on, and then left click on format and I wanna show this as bars and numbers, okay? It's almost a duplicate here of the other chart that you see or column that you see here. And, but I wanna split this data out, okay? So now you can see the difference here. This is a view a lot of traders like, all right? They wanna see who's winning the battle in the aggressor classification here, all right? So, you know, they'll split out the data like this and let's move this to the front of the line here. And you can see that, well, for example, sellers are starting to take control 287 versus 100, or I'm sorry, 288 versus 91, 170 of or versus 22 down here. So, you know, they're starting to hit the bid, okay? And these guys actually now we're starting to come back up into this little micro range. This might be trap volume, okay? Or, you know, if you have reasons to be bearish, then you're looking for, you know, maybe a test up here to the top of the range and for exhaustion on the sell side, okay? And then you're looking for continuation to the downside. And we can do that by resetting this column. Let's just reset it now, okay? And I'm looking to see who might be winning the battle now. Okay, here come the sellers, all right? Okay, and let's see if they continue to hit the bid. Let's see if they have control here. Anyway, this is really a lot of traders like this, a lot of dome traders like this, okay? Because they're looking for insight for, you know, just a few ticks or so. And it's a great view. I like it too. But, you know, what I like so much about book map is the historical view. I can just zoom out. And I don't need to look for a few ticks. I can look for several points. In book map, so, you know, I think a lot of the dome trading is looking at a lot of scalping. Whereas book map, because it shows the historical, you know, liquidity map here, you can use this on much higher time frames. Or you can also use it for much smaller time frames. It's really up to you, okay? So anyway, that's one way to configure your volume chart here, all right? We can show the VWAP as well. Where is that? If I just click on Format, then there's the VWAP here. And that's this white line that you see here, okay? All right. Okay, now let's go back and reset it here to our chart range. Okay. Okay, let's see, what else? All right, let's just go through quickly the different data types, okay? This is volume, okay? Most people are looking at volume. But we also wanna cover, there's trade counters, there's a quotes counter. All these three, volume, trades counter, and quotes counter are very similar, okay? And they have the same formatting. A trades counter, if I click on that, okay? Instead of showing the volume that traded, and you can see it says CTC here, instead of CVP, so chart range, trades counter, it's showing me the number of trade events. And why is that important, all right? Well, because in the algorithmically dominated marketplace here, a lot of these larger block orders are broken into several small trades, okay? So we wanna understand maybe the events, the flurry of activity more so than the actual volume that traded, because if there's a lot of activity, it means that it can trade there. The algorithms read that information. In fact, a lot of them have more weight on the trades counter than they do on the volume count, okay? Now, and you can look at this again, you can format it as a profile or as split out, okay? Now let's go over the next one, which is the quotes counter, okay? What I'm showing here is not volume, not events, but quotes refreshed, okay? So again, it's like, this is very similar to pit noise, okay, in the old, back in the days with the pits, the trading pits, you might all of a sudden hear all sorts of noise in the pit. Doesn't even have to, one trade does not even have to occur. Just means that they are very interested in trading at that area because they're shouting at each other, trying to facilitate a trade, okay? But they may hold steady and maybe they don't want to trade, still it shows that there's interest at that level and that's what the quotes counter is doing, okay? So it's not just for historical best bid and offer, it's for the depth, okay? That's why you get the bigger profile here. Okay, you get these really nice profiles as well because it's giving you data for this information up here or these price levels up here as well as the current or just previously historical view, right? Quotes Delta, that's showing here, a lot of traders like this view quite a bit, okay? And let me cover this one and I'm gonna move this around and format this just a little bit, okay? And what it's showing you, okay? I'm not gonna split this data out, okay? All right, so what the quotes counter here is, I'm sorry, the quotes Delta is showing you, it's not the, here's the current order book that's showing you liquidity, okay? But the quotes counter instead is showing you the numbers of contracts that were either added or pulled, okay? So that may be more important to you if you really know your market well, you're looking at instead of the liquidity, it's like what's more important is how much was pulled or added, okay? To understand which direction the market might go, right? So anyway, there's a quotes Delta there, there's some notes, custom notes, don't have time to go over those, but you can really build these out in many different ways, and then time and sales, okay? So a lot of traders wanna see their time and sales, here you go, you can filter it, look for a number of contracts, size by minimum or maximum, whatever you want, you can export this data in a CSV file, you can also pop this window out, okay? And put this into another area on your chart, okay? A lot of traders like time and sales, they wanna see where the transactions are taking place, right? If I close that window, it pops back in and let's turn that back into, well, let's hide the column, okay, and let's just go back to what we had earlier and I'll just format this and I just like looking at it split out and reversed. All right, it's quick, but that's the columns, all sorts of different ways, and I've seen so many different configurations, I've seen columns built out that are like 10 different columns, all sorts of different colors, all sorts of different studies, it's really up to you. You know, a lot of traders like the dome and rely on that information, others traders may just have one or two columns and that's it, okay? Anyway, you can really configure this out and you can match any dome that's out there, all of the data, not only can you match it, you can do much better because we're offering data types that they don't offer and that's shown here as you can see going through all of these different data types, all right? Anyway, let's wrap it up, for those of you who are in the advanced webinar, I'll see you next, for those of you who are not and you're new here, show up tomorrow and I'll give you access to the advanced, we do this on Friday to give you a peek to what that might be like before you do your trial, okay? Because we really go into depth, but you know, I'm not gonna answer questions regarding the platform in there, that is reserved for this webinar, okay? All right guys, yeah, thanks for coming and we'll catch up with you tomorrow, bye.
