I don't work for them but have been a longtime user, just right click in the price column and select autocenter: none. You can also move price up and down by holding down control and dragging price column.
I know this option working with BM also as a long term user - thanks. but this is not what I suggest. I am asking to have the chart recentering except when I'm about entering a trade . Always toggling the option is not very comfortable
thank you so much for always keep updating the version for the user. great job bookmap team!!
here is my 2nd and last suggestion.
I am also using the sierrachart platfrom to see the orderflow. I have some suggestion based on my experience on sierrachart. Bookmap has the own class , no doubt.
I have using this type of Chart which can "filter" the size in the dom . So it can give us and focusing on the specific size.
The chart below show the filtering size by "range" that can be set and has the specific color.
PINK: more than 400 Lot
RED: more than 300 Lot
BLUE: more than 150 Lot
Low: more than 100 Lot
For example: if the chart show the PINK color, we know that the size is between 300 to 400 Lot. We can zoom in to see the actual Lot.
I believe, this is very important INFORMATION for trader because the SIZE represent the smart money in the market. Although sometime they are using the iceberg order. at least we can see the "bigger picture" by filtering the lot and see the idea from it.
This filtering can give some idea on the auction behavior. Sometime i can see the "algo" behavior like shown below by filtering the SIZE in the market.
I can say this type of reading by filtering the Lot can give us some idea on the activity market.
i really like BM with one click trading. I was just wondering whether a different way of ordering could be offered.
Basically i am thinking of 2 columns (one buy / one sell) similar to what sierrachart offers on the chart DOM. Also setting the order actions like sierra would be really beneficial so every user could adjust it to his needs. (see attached screenshot)
Maybe that would be a great enhancement which other clients would like to have.
Hi Bookmap team,
Quick question for you regarding the trading app/add on.
I use TT via my broker, and Bookmap connects to this feed.
I have used Sierra charts and Ninja Trader charts to trade off before, and the way that orders are sent to the exchange is a rather murky area.
To be as clear as possible, if I trade using Bookmap and have a stop limit order in place using Bookmap, when I click on Bookmap and the order is entered onto the chart, is this order being sent direct to the exchange, or is the order only sent to the exchange once the level is breached?
Similarly, if I have entered a position and have a Stop Loss order at Market price (and not a limit order), is this Stop Loss Market Order being sent to the Exchange as well, or is it only existing on the Bookmap system and is sent to the exchange when this price is hit?
I hope that makes sense. In my previous experience with trading from charts, what I found out is that sometimes the orders only rest locally on your PC or on the application itself and are not transmitted to the exchange until the price is reached. In a fast market this could be extremely dangerous with prices moving large amounts meaning large amounts of slippage.
After updating Bookmap because of a dialog reporting a fix is available, I now have a trade size in parentheses next to aggregate traded volume at price. How can I get rid of that and still aggregate last trade like before, and why is there no documentation for that?
