To each their own. It’s something I use though that allows me to be profitable. Would like to get the most out of it. Maybe if you don’t like the question or don’t find it important u could just move on to the next one instead of being a cheeky c*nt by downplaying my question for everyone else...

I’ve heard that the DOM in ToS is incomplete, and that it does not show all of the orders from every exchange. If this is true, what is missing from it, and is there any brokers or platforms that offer a more complete DOM?

Nothing is truly random. Every event must happen for a reason. Some reasons may be more hidden than others, which can create the illusion of randomness, but buying and selling of stock is not a random action. It is calculated. It is why trading fresh news on stocks makes things feel less random...

Hmm. I’ve never heard of a vps before. How would this help with internet/data? I’m having trouble understanding it through online searches.

Hello, I recently moved to more rural area, and the only Wireless internet I have access To is DSL from CenturyLink. They are by far the worst providers I’ve ever used. My solution to this was to use a mobile hotspot, like a nighthawk or a jetpack. These devices have an allowance though for how...

Ahh didn’t realize. I’ll have to try and find some brokers that offer it then. I definitely would want it though

Are you able to subscribe to any of these books via outside of a broker, or do the feeds have to run through my platform? I’ve been debating switching to tradestation so maybe they can offer that data

I’m using thinkorswim right now. Whether I’m able to have it displayed there or on a separate page like how the nasdaq book works, I’m fine with both. I just want to have access to it cause some of my best trades are from information I get from nyse data I get from other people. I just don’t...

When I go to the website, I can’t find where to subscribe to get this information as a retail trader. I just find a bunch of pdf documents. Any help is much appreciated

I am currently switching to tradestation since the lag on TD is complete BS. If they do not have this information where can I get it? What brokers offer this besides lightspeed? is there a list? i for the life of me cannot find a shred of information about this anywhere online. Every time I run...

Often times when I’m listening to some bigger names talk during my premarket preparation, they will often say something along the lines of “there is a big order of 500k shares at ‘x’” or “there is a significant buy imbalance of 500k shares on ‘xyz’ ticker”. I cannot see this information with...

Thank you. I will keep this in mind. I hope it’s not too much to ask, but do you have any recommendations for readings that taught you a valuable lesson or gave you some insight into how the markets work on a deeper level?

Yes. I am focused on US equities. I am familiar with options and futures and how they work with the market, but only trade equities.

I 100% agree with finding my own path. That is what I’m trying to do, but I’m having trouble finding it. I have ideas, but I lack confidence in those ideas because I know that I’m very new to the game and my experience and knowledge is limited. I guess what I’m trying to do here is somewhat...

I’d be willing to pay money if it is worth it. I never said it had to be free ;)

I didn’t mean to sound like an ass. My apologies. I just say that because it’s all the same “buy the breakout on penny stocks with news catalyst” with the gurus, and I was looking for a refreshing take on how to trade things outside of low caps and pump and dump stocks

It doesn't need to be live trading, but just something that shows me what the big guys and more experienced people are looking at to better see how people with more experience are placing their trades and making decisions. I would like to see this to help refine my own trading, and compare my...

Date reference: traded on Jan 2 Title says it all. I had several in the green swing positions open using a new scan I made for finding stocks. Some examples of stocks I traded were aapl, msft, and AMD. All of these positions ran green through the night, but when I woke up this morning, they...

Bookmap offers a chart with a heat map that basically shows the strength of liquidity at various price levels in a different way. Of course I don’t necessarily need this but it certainly, for me, was a nice way to more fully visualize the playing field in a faster amount of time. I know there...
