I tried all the software regarding order flow.

The Jigsaw tools feel the most natural but they suck if it comes to real trading.
I am with them for several years.
The idea and the analysis tools are really great.
But when it comes to trading - mean their live trading subscription - they suck.
And they really suck. Don´t use them as your execution software.
I lost thousands of dollars because of their bugs.

Does Jigsaw have PnF 'bid x ask' clusters and other orderflow stuff like delta bars, market profile or it's mainly for DOM/Vista?

Jigsaw is only a DOM. They have a heatmap chart like Bookmap but Bookmap is way more superior. There are no footprint bars at all in Jigsaw. FYI Bookmap does not have a DOM it's only a heatmap charting package. Jigsaw does have time and sales and some strength meters which basically read the orders and give you a visual. I personally find the strength meters useless but that's just me. The one nice thing about Jigsaw is it automatically records trades into a journal. If you've ever kept a journal, you know how tedious that is and what happens if you get just a little behind recording trades.

Bookmap provides a DOM, too.

I find this incredulous as I’ve been a jigsaw user with an active live subscription for 5 years or so, not had a problem at all what so ever with live execution or trade management. In fact I switched to jigsaw from ninja originally because I wanted a stable live execution platform. I use the standalone daytradr version and it’s rock solid....would never hesitate to recommend this. I’ve been an active futures trader for nearly ten years.

I have been using only the Jigsaw, and haven't tried the other ones.

Jigsaw has more features than you need.

In any case, your success will not be a function of your software.

You are never in the wrong place... but sometimes you are in the right place looking at things in the wrong way.

...lots of people also complain about the issues with Ninja...

For me, it´s no problem to show screenshots from the Jigsaw-ticket system, Emails or even Skype regarding the issues with DayTradr. I also showed them live.
I had problems with every version they put out so far.
Thus the cause is not an erroneous installation.

and by the way, look at the release notes... but nevermind...

i have tried out so far these packages, since i'm just on the beginning on my path i have plenty of time to go out and test everything:


From all these options i'm leaning now towards seriously exploring Sierra. Even though controls are so convoluted, it gives so much freedom and you can make it act just like any package out there.
On the course side i would like to say just the best words about Axia, their materials are of highest quality and very logical layout of knowledge. Next thing i will be learning emoji plugins for Sierra as i found them having the best learning materials.

yeah, also tested these and some more.

Sierra has lots of possibilities to configure the sw.
Do you need this? ....-no.

If you really look for orderflow compare Sierra and Jigsaw DOM. I watched them very very long time.
I tell you there is a difference.

But as I said: using the tools for trading and execution trades with the tools is a different story....

That's what i have in mind, Sierra for analysis, Jigsaw for execution. Jigsaw also provides a DOM learning course with drills which i'm very tempted to go through.
