at least I tried

was trying to capture a trade in a video. not an easy task for me. I was looking for some confirmation to go long around 1412.00 - 1412.50. at 1412.25 over 1200 contracts were traded on bid side without that price being offered.

went long at 1412.50, with a target of 8 ticks and stop of 3 ticks. I don't think that trade went more than 1 tick against me, although 1412.25 was offered at one time and 300 contracts were traded.

also this is a sim trade. don't feel very comfortable taking videos and trading.

spoofing at 1413 also a clue

@Silverster17,

Thanks for the modification. While updating the 1LDOM I was experimenting with different font colors but got errors each time I tried to compile. Is there a way to change the font color to for example lime and green in the bid ask columns?

Thank You

@Swishy27,

one way to change the font colors without making it too complicated.

@Silvester17,

Thanks for the tip. I got it to work. Very much appreciated.

Here's what it looks like.



I Combined the 1LDOM with vvAggregated T&S tape split into separate T&S for trades at the bid and ask. Picked up the split tape tip from the Tape is My Shape thread @

In addition to the three columns on the 1LDOM it helps to see the additional detail in the prints as they flow through the bid ask tapes since the traditional tape can overload your eyes with all the information in a single column.

For example in the first image above you see the large print of 832 in the second column at the 1,494.75 price level. Looking at the red tape listing trades at the bid you can see that there were 3 large prints of over 100 contracts highlighted in red that traded at the 1,494.75 bid before the bid shifted down to 1,494.50 where only 1 contracted traded at the bid. On the 1LDOM there is now an imbalance in the supply where you see 849 contracts at the 1,494.50 bid and 100 contracts at the 1,494.75 ask. Not a good place to sell since it would only take 1 large print to wipe out the supply at the 1,494.75 ask price making it likely that price will bounce up unless more sellers drop down to 1,494.75. Keep in mind this is what might happen at the immediate micro level without taking into account the overall trend which has been bearish based on the volume profile on the right of the 1LDOM.

Hi 1Lot

First up thanks for all the efforts on this - nice piece of work!!

I am still really experimenting with it and don't fully understand all the features yet, but there are two burning things I would appreciate either being pointed in the right direction of (if I have missed it after reading through the thread), or advice on how to set this up/consideration for adding as a feature if does not exist.

First up - I am an old boy so like to keep things as simple as I possibly can so my brain can handle it lol - as such I cant see how to enter a market order straight from the ladder without having to use the chart trader buy sell boxes - am I right?

If so is there a way to set the ladder so left clicking on bid above market causes a market buy order and vice versa for the sell?

Secondly, Is there anyway to add a column to the left of the bid column in which I can mark up my areas of interest with user defined text? Also can that allow colour shading for areas of interest?

Thanks for reading this and any help or feedback would be appreciated.

Graeme

I'm unable to see this "tape split into separate T&S" setup, in this link you provided in your post. Could you please show us this "T&S split" setup, here ?

Hi Graeme, ( @RTR1701 )

The two functions you mentioned don't exist at this point in time. I may consider including them at a later point but at this moment most of my time is being taken up by another project that I'm busy with so it's not likely that they will be appearing in the short term.

You can use horizontal lines on the chart or Ninja drawing tools to mark levels, that was what I used to do myself.

The 1 click ordering though is a limitation at this point. It can be incorporated but it would need someone to take it up.
