So you can see there's two, there's basically only two versions of bookmap. Bookmap basic, bookmap advanced and the difference between the two are the add-ons and the ability to trade from the chart. Now the bookmap basic and advanced with the DX feed is a package and the DX feed is only for US equities. Okay, it's not for futures data. You will need your own data provider with the basic and advanced. Now if you're interested in DX feed, you don't need to get the package deal here. You can add it as an add-on for the basic or advanced here as well, okay? And then let me show you some of the resources here. You can go to our Twitter at bookmap underscore pro and then you get the latest and most up-to-date information here and then our YouTube page, okay? So for those of you who are new, watch the intro video here and then watch some of the features and components here. There's a playlist, all right? And then I would recommend watching a few of these. Don't go crazy with them yet. Wait until you're in trial and start to understand some of the features maybe or what bookmap is showing you or maybe you want to watch these. It's fine, they're available here. This is basically what we go through in the advanced webinars that will start in about 20 minutes, 22 minutes or so. And so the platform details is about going through the platform and then the advanced analysis webinar is for those in trial or those that are current customers so that they understand what they're looking at in bookmap. They've moved beyond some of the platform details, okay? There's an educational course we put together here and then all of the recorded webinars are here. So you can see yesterday's here if you want to access it, all right? So let's jump into bookmap and what are we looking at? Okay, let's see. So for those of you who are new, we start off going through it like this. We turn off all the data, okay? And we are looking here at a five minute candlestick chart, okay, and this is the S&P E-mini, all right? We had some volatility yesterday. Good to see. And so here's the five minute candlestick and you can see the 930 open and you can start to see some of the elongated candles, a little more volatility coming in, a lot more volume as you can see in the subchart here, all right? So the candlestick chart here is showing you limited data. There's a lot more in the chart and that's the problem with the candlesticks. For example, where's the volume taking place, okay? We don't know. We have it in the subchart. We know that there was volume down here, but we don't know where it took place. We don't know how much and within what time period and where on this candlestick and what type was it aggressive buying or selling? That is crucial data that gives us a lot of insight to these kinds of moves, okay? Let's start to layer on some of the data here in information, okay? Now, all I've added here is the historical best bid and offer, okay? That's the red and green line. In fact, you can see the live window here and this is the current best bid and offer and this number here is the last traded volume on the best bidder offer, all right? And it's just recorded so we can see it in the candlestick. So let's take a look at this little area here and you can start to see already, this is what I like about looking at historical best bid and offer is already you see some transparency here. Already it's quite nice. Look at this little microstructure here. Here's the low and then we see an immediate move back up, okay? A little bit of sideways action and a microstructure and look at the retest here, right? After this five minute period, okay? The new period here, okay? We don't even get to the low. We certainly don't get to the low of the cash session, okay? This is starting to show something significant and starting to show the reversal, okay? That is lost in that candlestick. I mean, you just see the big wick, all right? That's it. And but now we're starting to understand that there's gonna be volume on this historical best bid and offer and it's gonna give us a lot of insight here. So let's turn on the volume dots, okay? And here we go, okay? We can see the dots here. The red is aggressive market sell orders, okay? They took liquidity off of the best bid and the green dots are, it's a market buy. Someone hit the market buy button across the spread and took liquidity off of the best offer. So if I click on the hand tool and zoom in here, let's just do that quickly, okay? And you can see I'm breaking apart all that information and these pie displays start to break down into individual singular events, okay? And we've recorded every single event here in book map. Now this little section here gives you the insight to the aggressive market buys and what it looks like here, okay? This is these little green dots here. Someone crossed the spread, hit the market buy and then took liquidity off of the best offer, okay? Market sell, they take liquidity off of the best bid and that's how it works, all right? And you can continue to zoom in here and we can really zoom into millisecond and microsecond, even nanosecond levels and notice how I'm splitting apart every single event, right? And that's all recorded here, okay? Now as I start to zoom back out and get a bigger picture perspective, note how these dots visually will aggregate, okay? All the data is still here. It's just that it's showing it visually aggregated and at one point it becomes, there's so many trades in one little area that we have to display it as a pie chart. So we know that the majority of, there's both buying and selling here but the majority of it was selling, okay? And this is gonna be some really nice trap volume down here because we never come back toward it. In fact, look at the initiated buying right here and we don't even get a pullback to where we broke from. Actually, we do get a little bit of a pullback here, just one take away from it and then we get our reversal, okay? You're gonna start to see this pattern a lot and an insight to this pattern is however you wanna play it but we're starting to identify a shift in the order flow here, right? And this is how Bookmap can really help you, right? It gives you that transparency and we're just looking at the traded volume right now, okay? We're not looking at another piece of important data yet, all right? So anyway, that's the traded volume and it works very much like in a footprint chart, for example, except that the footprint chart, let's just say you're looking at a five minute period of a footprint chart. Well, you're still not gonna see this data here. This data is gonna be lost, okay? You may see it in a one minute footprint chart but in Bookmap, because we don't aggregate the data within a time period, it's just every single event is recorded, okay? And it's not event exclusive. We can drill into the nanosecond level if we want but we just have time, it's all recorded and each event that takes place is then recorded, okay? So for those of you trading automatically like with automated strategies, then you're gonna really be able to see the details of what occurred in the market and how your algo is performing in that market, all right? So anyway, that's the traded volume and that's how Bookmap solves that issue of showing you what type of volume, where it took place and how much, okay? And tremendous insight because this is all trapped here where these guys are gonna cover, probably up here and where do we go to, right to it, okay? So and you can see it's sold off since, all right? So pretty wicked move, we see it all the time, all right? Anyway, let's move on here and let's go to the current market, okay? Now looking at the current market, we want insight to where traders are lined up to bid and offer, okay? And we can see that in a dome, okay? And that's what you're looking at here in these columns. In fact, let me hide this one and these columns that you have here, the COB column here, this is your dome, okay? And you can see just like any other dome that's out there, you can see the best bid and offer right here and you see up to this white line, this is the depth here on the offer and this is the depth here on the bid, okay? Now, this is great information, we can see where traders are lining up within the depth of market and level two data to trade. This is where they want to provide liquidity and trade and that's really insightful. However, there's a problem with this in a dome is these numbers change and then what was there previously is lost and you have no clue, you're gonna have to remember it. You're gonna have to watch it, you're gonna have to remember it, you're gonna have to remember the areas around it and what if it happened like an hour ago, you know? And we're revisiting that price again, well, you have no clue what it was like there before, okay? This is where Bookmap solves that issue. We turn this data into a heat map and it will be presented here within this window, okay? So let's turn it on, all right? And there it is, okay? So immediately we know with the graphical representation in the heat map where these areas of high liquidity are, okay, up here, 1,490 contracts at 2,469, that's the highest area in the book currently, all right? And we can adjust for that heat map here, okay? And brighten it up, get a little more detail and data in here that if you want, okay, this is just for the demo, I do not use a view like this, but now we can see that next couple levels here at 66 and 65, there's higher liquidity there because it's brighter in the heat map. Now notice how the heat map's always changing in the grayscale, okay? It's reflecting the liquidity here that's changing in the limit order book, okay? So we can notice that they were just in coming in at 67 with high liquidity and then they pulled it and then they added it back in and we see this heat map change, okay? Where this gets interesting is that we take this data here and we record it and plot it onto the chart, okay? So let me zoom in a little bit here and here's that recording of what we just saw play out at 67, okay? Notice these illustrations right in here, okay? That is them adding and pulling that liquidity that we saw, okay, now that number changed and now you have a recording of that and you understand that this is where they were previously and they may show interest yet again there. You can also very easily and quickly see the areas around it how they're behaving, okay? And then you can also very easily see where they are on the bid, okay? So it looks like to me that these guys are skewing the book trying to drive price probably down into this higher liquidity at 65 and maybe 64, okay? And now we'll get into maybe reading the limit order book and the auction here a bit during these webinars, but this is more for the advanced webinars, okay? Like one insight here, very easy to see. Notice this guy here with high liquidity at 67 and he pulls it and he probably, it's probably the same guy, really high probability and he adds it two ticks lower. So you can understand that this is one player and you start to understand how he's playing in the game here, okay? Does he have that intent to trade? Well, we don't really quite know yet until he gets tested, okay? Until price comes up toward him. Now price is actually doing that right now as one tick away and we can see him pulling, okay? So did he really want to trade here? And I would guess, no, he does not. He's actually looking to maybe do something else. I don't know, maybe push price down into some of these areas, okay? But gauging that intent to trade is what's important here. We want to filter out the information of those that want to trade and those that do not. And you can do that here in book map, all right? So now you've got a complete picture of the, not only the tape, the order flow, but the auction, okay? And let's adjust this heat map a bit, okay? It's just way too bright for me, okay? And this is getting up there. That looks a little bit better. I'd like to see a little detail in it, okay? So let's go back and revisit this area here and what did that auction look like, okay? Okay, well, here it is. Well, notice how there is high liquidity here. Okay, and this is high liquidity that was here previously, okay, in the book. And they started to pull here, but then they started to add back in as price is coming down. These guys here have the intent to trade, okay? And so do these guys here. They're, and we can see large volume trading. So these longer-term players here are starting to absorb price or selling that's hitting the bid in these areas here, okay? So now we're starting to put together a lot of different pieces, understanding longer-term liquidity, understanding that it's getting filled in some of these areas, and then look at them down at 59 here, and they never even get tested here, okay? Now, they're kind of adding and pulling here at 59. So their intent to trade at this area is kind of dubious, but they're definitely down lower. And you can see it's larger players. They're on the figure of each whole number here, right? But at this point, they'd had enough and we see the initiated buying here pull price up out and then test the liquidity on the other side here where sellers are lined up and they're getting filled, okay? All right, okay. So you can see now where we have a complete picture and that dome, which is good to show the current market but to show the historical evolution of the market and the auction is gonna give you a lot more insight, all right? Okay, so look at that coming up into these areas up here, higher liquidity. Some of it's getting pulled, some of it's trading now as we can see it. And they're providing liquidity up in these areas here because the larger players know that they can get filled up here because whoever sold down here is gonna be placing their stops up here and there will be liquidity. That means that the larger players can get their fill in some of those areas, all right? And since that action, we've just really kind of gone sideways. No, I'm sorry. No, we're still bullish here. We came up and tested the high and made new highs here and we see nice chunk of volume trading up here too, okay? All right, any questions? Okay, I know that there's a lot of information but it's actually really pretty straightforward and simple to be very honest. It's very objective information. You can basically understand exactly what's happening in the market. You know, seeing that complete picture here of not only the traded volume but where they're lined up, okay? Now, what's interesting about this is it's not an indicator and it's not a strategy. Bookmap is a platform and we're just very objectively showing you what's going on in the marketplace by recording and plotting important data. All right, so you offers a lot of transparency into the marketplace, okay? So let me actually show you something that I saw yesterday and maybe this guy, this will be helpful for you guys, okay? All right, so here's just, I just have two data points in this image here. Let me show this, okay? So this was just a candlestick and I have the auction, okay, the historical auction. Now the point of this was to show not what's going on within the candlesticks, okay? This was the S&P yesterday and the point was to show how important the limit order book information really is, okay? Look at the stacked orders here. Very high liquidity, you know, we're in like two thousands of contracts here, not just in the single thousands and the multiple thousands and very high liquidity and a very thick zone here, okay? Price actually started moving within this area right here because this would be the historical best bid and offer and look at the volume sub chart. I don't even have the volume dots on here, okay? But volume really didn't kind of pick up until later, okay? This gave you insight of what was going on outside of that candlestick chart, okay? And giving you insight before this big move took place just by understanding the limit order book and the auction skew here that you can see, okay? So that's how this can be helpful for you, okay? Now we also have other columns here to show you volume within a profile, okay? We have the chart range volume profile and the session range volume profile. This is all of the volume since when I opened up my book map in the session range volume profile. Now the chart range volume profile, you see I have numbers and I have a graphical representation of it, but this is representing all the volume within this viewable chart range, okay? So if I zoom in, note how it's giving me the profile here for this range, okay? We have lots of different data types here. If I right click in the column, we have the current order book columns that you can see here, volume columns, trade counter columns, quotes counter column, quotes delta, okay? Added and pulled liquidity, notes, and then also time and sales, okay? We also have an indicator panel at the bottom here. And this is actually, this is plotting the cumulative volume delta. Okay, a lot of traders look at that. They wanna understand the cumulative volume within some of these areas in combination with the understanding of the volume columns and the volume where it's trading, all right? So we have that as well. And we also have some automated strategies that are available here, okay? And we have chase, escape, and execute strategies. And they work on your limit orders. Okay, it's an API. So basically, for those of you who are coders, you can write your own strategies here in book map. Okay, you can also trade right from the chart, okay? We have one click trading that's available. And I can select order and order size here. I have OCO orders, I have bracketed orders, I have a trailing stop as well. And I can click on some of these areas. Okay, it actually looks like it might be, let me select all of this, okay? And let's close that, okay, and enable it. Okay, so you can see I'm clicking here and these are limit orders here on the bid, okay? I can move them around, left click, hold, and drag. And, or I can, you know, hold down control key and move them all together as well, okay? And then if I right click here, I can also set some orders on the offer. Okay, I can also set market orders and market buy and sell stops, okay? I'm gonna cancel everything and let's close this up. All right, well, that's everything and I don't really see any questions here. So for those of you who are currently in trial or a current customer of Bookmap, I'll see you in the advanced analysis webinar and jump right over there and start the webinar, okay? All right, thanks guys, see you tomorrow.
