can you be a little more specific. I don't understand what you mean by splitting current trades at bid and ask. a trade either happens at the bid or the ask.
if you're talking about being able to see the volume traded at bid and ask over a certain period, then yes.
What I meant was the column ' Current at Bid" and " current at ask" on jigsaw Dom which show how many contracts hitting into the Bid or lifting the Offer right now and the number stays there until the price comes back then it clears.I dont see this feature on 9G Dome which only briefly flashes the number of contracts traded without showing it is struck at Bid or Ask. Thanks
I think this was asked and answered earlier in this thread. so if I understand you correctly, then 9G does not have this feature. as it would not be difficult to add this feature, I really question if this would be helpful or just being another distraction.
you say "stays there until the price comes back and then it clears". back from where? and how much later?
It's one of the main features of the Jigsaw DOM, and I think a lot of people of people find it very useful. Saves you from having to keep it all in your head.
ok, but useful doing what? if someone pulls his bid at a lower level, 3 things can happen:
- place bid on another level (above or below)
- buy at market
- cancel the order (for good or wait a while)
that feature is not going to tell you what. so why would I waste my precious time figuring out something I anyway don't know.
on a more serious note. you're really confusing me
not too long ago, you were in taipei, then in rome and now in palma? you certainly come around a lot.
I think you misunderstood what me and futuretrader referred to. You seemed to talk about the Snapshort feature which shows how many contracts added to Bids or Offers. I am talking about the number of contracts hitting into Inside Bid or Offer Right NOW. You may not know about thay feature since you dont have JS DOM I think
As justtradeit says, you're thinking of something else, this is about contracts accumulated at a specific bid/ask level before it ticks up or down. As the level ticks up the amounts remain, so you can always see what traded to cause the level to move away. The amount is zeroed if or when it ticks back to the level.
I don't have jigsaw, but I built this into my chart DOM and found it quite useful, though I don't use it any more.
Re location, it's confusing for me too. It'd be easier if Mike would allow something like "Residence, No fixed place of."
so this is kind of a volume ladder, but only for inside bid and ask. and that it will be zeroed again when going back to that level. but I'm still unable to see any advantage over a real volume ladder, which would be included in 9G
Well, perhaps if Ross includes it in a future edition you'll discover its use....
I've only just started seriously playing around with 9G, and find the built-in ladders frustrating because there is no history - so I'm working with some information on display, and then it suddenly disappears when a new bar starts.
It has also crashed NT at least once a day - I looked to see if there was a more recent version of the Lite edition on Optimus' website, but the only one I can find is the Pro edition.
