The biggest hurdle for providing extensive market depth visualization for US equities has been the price of data. Quality data feeds providing consolidated, full depth and low latency coverage of stocks were not available until now at affordable prices limiting their usage mainly to proprietary trading firms that could afford the high price tag. Through our collaboration with Devexperts that connects Bookmap to dxFeed data, you can now have access to the same level of quality and low latency equities data used by the big firms at prices comparable to regular retail traders data feeds. Combined with Bookmap’s visualization and data analysis power the equities data from Devexperts provides a significant edge to individual and professional traders in exploring and utilizing trading opportunities in the US stock market.

You can observe actions that occur throughout the book and not just at first 10-20 price levels as with most futures market. You can, for instance, look for significant liquidity concentrations at any price level and develop your trading strategy accordingly. This has not been possible for most individual traders until now.
You can now access much more liquid instruments than ever before. Unlike the futures market there are hundreds of liquid instruments which gives you far better variety and flexibility in your trading.
The large number of liquid instruments in the equities market implies a relatively lower number of dominant players in each one of them. As a result you can better study their behavior, learn how to interpret their intentions and find trading opportunities when they occur.
