Feature Request: Show COB data on heat map directly
Posted: Thu Jan 15, 2026 1:10 am
I would like to request a feature add that I believe is easy to do.
The COB shows the cumulative volume of limit orders at each price level currently.
I'm hoping BookMap would add a feature where this COB volume also shows on the high liquidity bands so that it is saved as historical information for the trader to easily look back at. This is specially very important when the price hits the band on the heat map to see how much of the CVP/SVP volume at this price is from the limit orders and how much from the market orders. It also helps traders in figuring out if any of the limit orders were pulled out right before the price gets there.
I think there might be other uses of this information to improve our entries and exits at these levels that other users might mention in a reply to this tread.
This will help traders better understand the situation and identify the absorption, reversal, and breakout at the high liquidity heat map levels.
We could easily set it to show this number only for bands with high volume as a property setting.
I can try explain this in a different way if need be.
Thank you very much.
