This is great, Silverster17 - thanks! I have started looking at the chart where you have a number of pivots marked using PV and delta divergence. I'm sure I'll have some questions about how you select some of the signals and not others First, I need to bone up on Delta Divergence. Thanks again!
Yes have seen the heatmaps. However for me have moved onto stuff similar to what @Silvester17 pointed to since I want to stick with actual happenings in the market. though I have jigsaw..bookmap and AD I don't really need any to tell me what is actually happening in realtime and hence dont use them. I have these transposed onto my charts for accurate view of the market. I still think AD has some serious stuff they do....but I don't really use it.
also must add Jigsaw/AD/bookmap all excellent tools. But for me at the moment....too much of numerics is fuzzy. But thats just me...has nothing to do with the tools

Reason: good tools

@paps I use a 5 min ADV (advances) chart with my Auction Dashboard using the ES as proxy for the YM and NQ.
I track 5 individual POCs VAL, VAH with AD, then use the Overlay of all 5 days to see major support and resistance. As you know the price can't be beat. Very inexpensive.

hi @COTtrader thnx. lol yea the price is awesome...Yes AD seems to have just about everything in their tool. It does many things on profiles/MP which i really do not use. However since they have done so much....documentation sometime is rather cumbersome to search thru.
For me it's where the Limits may come in. I had some time in hand and was trying to check if I can get some info to supplement my trading which is based only on Market/Limits. But more than that i am trying to check if their DOM has the capability of setting an alert. I think there is a way to set Filters on Level 2....but i have not figured that out. Also if there is a way to set an Alert on the DOM.

lol too many things on DOM & I am not a numbers guy. Hence looking to check some of what i do...if can be understood by either filters or Audible alerts thru the DOM/Auction Visualizer.
actually this is the video on the Auction Visualizer. was trying to check how to get alerts using the level 2
cheers n thnx

infact this is a better video showing the capabilities of the AD visualizer.
actually the Traded volume is what i would love to see if possible to filter. Seems like one of the best OF tools there....& also seems has lot of customization capabilities. If not hope they give the customization capability soon. it may have it...but have not figured it out.
hence will be great if anyone know's could the traded volume and the bid/ask deltas be filtered or setup with audibles.

I have multiple order flow programs. On the surface this looks very good and the price in comparison is great. I cannot compare it to Gomi.
Though I do have OFA. ACME. NOFT.
If I did not have those and was just beginning to learn order flow, I would highly consider this if entry price was my only concern.
Issues I've had with some programs in nt7 are how data intensive some can be in large part due to nt7 inefficient design.
Does this need to be run 24hrs to receive the tick data?
Or will it back tick?
I'm pretty happy with my current set up a mix of NOFT, ACME, Bookmap, mt4 and tos.

Gomi Rocks. Quite a few things I have is based of GOM..
What I also love about Gomi is no license stuff required. I dont like the idea of a vendor product requiring constant registration every single time Ninja is started. If they would have asked more $s and made done without regular check with backend licensing server would be great. This stems more what if vendor closed shop tomorrow. This is the main difference between Tradestation where vendor can give locked code. I have not seen any Ninja vendors do that.
Anyways on the resource intensive stuff. I dont think this hogs much if any at all. Ofcourse would be pc and memory dependent.
On the Tick...i dont like what i see on the backfill....& that maybe due to how Ninja handles Bid/Ask backfills at the moment. I do also have Jigsaw and Bookmap which i dont use much at all. AD is also not my primary tool....just have it on to figure out certain events on OF. So for most part if i am using AD..... i have a video capture which can be played back so that can try and understand the events i might be looking at. In effect use it for forward tests.

@KahunaDog AD does have 'backfill' capability that is quite good for the days you choose. Again, NT7 limitations would affect the accuracy of bid/ask fill due to the 1 second time stamp granularity. NT 8 greatly improves on that, or so I have heard.

@paps -- from my experience, email the AD owners who will work with you on your particular case. Let me know if they respond to your specific setup requests.
