Hey Carl,
Yeah I appreciate that. There are some exciting new features that the Bookmap team are aiming to release in the near future and that might be a good opportunity to revisit this. All I’d say is that for those thinking about whether to go with BM or not, they’ve added lots of new features since this review. E.g. trading DOM, CloudNotes (load levels from a server), api for plugins etc.

Visual innovations like BookMap’s, are absolutely key to quickly interpreting data. The human mind is in general, very well adapted to visual pattern recognition (think about our ability to recognise faces for example) and this can serve a day trader very well. Adding other more widely used studies such as VP and T&S, BookMap does a great job in bringing decision making tools together. That said, it doesn’t provide the same sort of big picture analysis that a charting package such as IRT, Sierra or MD can, so it shouldn’t be considered as a complete solution in my opinion (at least as of version 6.1). Either way, the power of seeing the historical orderbook in all its glory and how the market traded relative to that, is golden. Just think about how prop shop traders and floor traders before them, had to remember the book and where certain trades were executed. MarketDelta went some way towards helping this, BookMap goes even further.

Great work Bruce and Team…

bookmap is the real thing u need.
it is just a TRUE data visualization that will change your perspective to how u look into markets/orders/liquidity/volume/price action.

the only product i tried that deserve every penny u pay for it.

nothing will be better: go for it.

All I can say Lou, is that BookMap is getting better and better all the time.

Hi Nic. Sorry for the delay in my response. There have been some useful additions to BookMap since the full review. I have been told however, that there some exciting imminent features coming to the next version. When this becomes available, I will post my thoughts!
