We can record such length of data but keep in mind that depth data is more relevant for short term price action. Therefore I don't think that looking back more than 30-60 min on a single chart view would add much value.

Hi again Paps,
BookMap supports any instrument that has market depth data. So options and stocks are supported provided that the user is subscribed to the relevant depth data feeds. As an example, attached are BookMap screenshots for TRIP (Tripadvisor Inc) and FB (Facebook Inc).

Data file from BookMap demo
Hi Everyone,
Thank you all for joining the webinar today and for your interest in BookMap.
Attached is a zip file with the data we used in today's demonstration. We will start adding data files regularly on our own forum (Forums | Bookmap). We welcome you to post any questions or suggestions regarding BookMap on our forum or this thread.
Sorry for my multiple errors and trouble speaking, I was more tired than I thought I guess. It also seems something is wrong with my mic setting.

BookMap / NinjaTrader Beta Testing
Hi everyone,
We plan to launch our new BookMap release for NinjaTrader within the next two weeks. We are looking for interested beta testers who are using NinjaTrader and would like to receive an early release of BookMap for NinjaTrader. Each beta tester will get a free BookMap license for 45 days. If you are interested in taking part in our beta testing, please send us an email to info@veloxpro.com titled "BookMap / NinjaTrader Beta Testing". We would be interested to get your details and trading experience with the NinjaTrader platform. As soon as we complete our internal testing phase we will send you a download link for the software with a free 45 day license.
@VeloxPro Tsachi, Eyal and Sergey thnx for sharing your insights. Was not present during the live session. Watched it offline.
Had few questions. I know you mentioned depth for 30/60mins before in a previous post. Well my questions do revolve around short time frames...& longer timeframes too. Have a few general questions too.
Well i guess you made it clear it is a decision making tool in conjunction with other tools/aids/market data someone already uses. You also shared screen shots. I think it will be great to get some videos such that folks understand the thought process during live markets. I personally would love to see some videos of data coming when
a)EU opens
b) 1 Hour before US opens
c) When US closes
d) data coming in from pre market till next day open when we have massive 20-30 pt moves and more.
(Well reason for asking this...though you talk about depth for 30/60mins....this is where we get to see how they work thru current stops & depth before regaining move or continue move in the direction of trend). <<Well this is just my thought.
General questions:-
a)Is this going to be available in tradestation. I am tired of other standalone tools requiring a separate data feed or turning on NT for it
b) If no plan for Tradestation...you did mention Standalone platform. Can the need of separate data be avoided.
b) Is there a way such that the TIME shown can be quickly offset to show PST/EST....whichever timeframe user is in.
c) Is there a way to show the Solid Whites which you mention as big orders. If they were a BUY or a Sell. The way i understand price & market movement. HFT's cannot really be seen in normal platforms which are only time based as there is no way to split up large nos of trades in 1min candles for ex. They can be however spotted by their speed and burst of execution...in terms of Speed of trades/Tape speed. They are seen at all times and precedes price movements whether it is MM or otherwise Algo driven or fund driven. At times w/o aid of non-correlated tools it may not be possible to understand if it was a buy or sell. I do see them in trading at all turning points and at/before market opens. I however am not able to gauge if they may be buy or sells. It will be interesting to glean from BookMap if they are buy or sells. Hence the ability to get the whites print out if buy/sell orders will help. Since the Whites are actual executed Orders & not resting orders.
