there are trends on both time frames, but I use mostly 5 minuets. but, on each time frame, how you can figure that a price movement is a trend? a price movement that might seem like a trend can seem like it holds the trend on one time frame but not on another. it helps to see the buyers and...

I agree that on the chart functionality it is better to support IB platform with a better supplier of charts - provider of that you can find also in your origin country i guess. an excellent support software for trading and price confirmation is Bookmap.

exactly, you can see if the bids/offers stay or not. also there is the iceberg detector option which shows hidden bids/offers that don't show on the level 2

IB is a good platform to start with. check our tradestation also

there is no delay. I also was concerned about it and checked it out. the bid and offer I see on level 2 in IB is the same that appear on Bookmap. the advantage in Bookmap is that you can which beads and offers stay and which not in a more clearer look.

I'm in IB also, and i used the level 2 data, but after I found Bookmap I can see the depth of the market better and the real intentions of the buyers and sellers.

I became more profitable, and mostly more aware to my actions. Even so, I am a new user in this software and have much more to learn about it.

I used to trade by time based charts and volume charts also (along with other oscillators) and it was not easy, especially for knowing when to take profit or when to put stop orders. Bookmap heatmap gives me more clarity with that, and I don't think I can get back to bare again.

Trend lines can be very useful, but not always work. It is better to take more signals to support the trend lines like the Bookmap heat map that can validate the trend.

Hey, I'm from Israel. I trade in stocks and thinking of starting to trade also in futures. I use mostly the heat map that Bookmap offers.

I like what you wrote. That's why, and if one focus only on the post intention, scenario 1 it's the logical way to act.

It is all depend on how you enter the trade, if it is by a good and working strategy I think scenario 2 is better (if you use scenario 1 I'm guessing that you feel like taking a bet when you enter a trade rather feeling like making an investment). I usually enter trades where there is high...

It is a better way to look at the order flow then the classic DOM, because it shows also the historical orders and requests do one, with studying of course, can get a better sence of how the price will move. The lines in the different colors show the past orders.

In this cases, without putting any work, it is probably that a trader will succeed some but lose more, and that my friend will be the gain of the hard workers traders

I tried it a lot on demo, and got a concept on the structure

High levels of liquidity, that will probably move the price in the direction for the buyers/sellers who put it. It can even also indicates if it will be a reversal or a pullback.

you can check out Bookmap, it offers a new glance on price movement based on heat map against the traditional DOM. it reflects past activity and shows through heat chart where are the big players

For me the best way to understand price movement is to understand where the big buyers/sellers orders and short term liquidity are and , along with chart trend lines.

The transparency I get from Bookmap is one the I didn't got from any other platform or from any technical analysis, it virtues are good especially for new traders, regardless to any financial stake.

My favorite is obviously Bokkmap, because it is easy to use. It shows the high liquidity areas and the direction of the aggressors- basically allows to understand the movement of a stock.
