Thank you for such a quick and full response. Buy yet another question arrived. In the process of making an order i see in the market data selection list this comment: `Full market depth & Traded volume. Includes 24hr historical depth data` under the both applicable options.
What exactly it means and how much historical data i'm able to see on the chart? (or this related only to depth data?)
Is NYSE exchange covered by `Nasdaq + EDGX` bundle? (and what exactly is covered in there). This list of options looks a bit short after Interactive Brokers market data selection, so some extra details will be great. Thanks
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Yes, from your dxfeed data subscription you will receive up to 24 hours of full depth backfill data. This means when you open Bookmap, you get 24 hours of historical backfill data. The dxfeed bundle of Nasdaq/EDGX is data from these ECN's or liquidity providers. It includes NYSE data as well as any US traded equity data from those ECN's.
Note the ECN ARCA is not included, however, we have many high-end professional stock traders who understand ARCA is not included yet believe Bookmap offers them an edge compared to those that don't have it. Give it a try and see for yourself.
Hello, I think it will be useful if we can open copy of a chart that is already subscribed.
The reason is I would like to be able to view the same instrument with different viewing zoom.
similar to viewing multiple timeframe of one instrument, side by side.
Currently when i try to do this, bookmap software will say that im already subscribed.
What can I do to have 2 charts of the same futures?
Unfortunately it is not possible to open two charts of the same instruments in Bookmap due to some technical challenges. However, it is on our Product Roadmap to offer this feature in the future. The work-around for now is to quickly zoom in and out using your center mouse wheel. This works very well and allows you to get the bigger picture perspective as well as the lower time frame view.
Soon there will be new features for the Orders Management and display in Bookmap, but nothing yet regarding customizable bracketed orders. However this is on our Product Roadmap, but we do not have any delivery dates at this time. Note, you can create your own customizations in Bookmap's API. Moreover, you could sell them on the Bookmap Marketplace.
Hi, I want to replay a few days from this year using Bookmap to see if it could have helped me to get better trades. Do I need to have a specific market data provider? Can I download replay data from somewhere else? Seems it doesn't work like Sierra that you just set any date and it just works.
@Bookmap, is it possible to develop my own custom automated trading strategies using Bookmap API that can manage multi contract position? I'm also keen to know if Bookmap API enables custom strategy to accept signals generated and sent by other platform such as Ninjatrader OR is bookmap API capable of sending out critical levels information to other platforms?
- Bookmap Java API enables full flexibility, including creating indicators and strategies of multiple contracts. You would get position on every contract and could synthesize multicontract position from it. However please note that currently you don't get position updates in replay and bookmap simulated trading mode (you still do if you use server-side simulation, such as demo accounts). To learn more on Bookmap API, go to the knowledge base https://bookmap.com/knowledgebase/docs/API
- Bookmap addon is just a java code running inside bookmap process without many additional restrictions. You can connect it to signals you get from other platforms, but you'll have to take care of all the interactions yourself. Basically think of the indicator as of an independently running program - you can talk to other programs via such mechanisms as named pipes, shared memory or even just TCP sockets.
- If you are referring to getting values of the columns via the API, this is not supported, however, you have flexibility to develop your own levels and send it to other platforms, which would be have to be done in a similar way to the previous item.
I use Ninja trader 8, and want to trade from Bookmap. I have two demo accounts created in Ninja, and my real account and data with CQG. I create a chart in Ninja and insert the Bookmap indicator. I set up the connection to Ninja in Bookmap. I add the symbol loaded in the chart which has the indicator, and I begin to receive data from Ninja. In somewhere in the process, Bookmap asks which account I ant to trade: sim1, sim2 or live. I choose one. The question:
What if I want to change the account to which send the orders? If I want to switch from demo to live and from live to demo?
