Large Trades Alert

What is the Large Trades Alert?​

Large Trades Alert allows you to track all tapes larger than a certain customizable threshold. It will notify you when a tape with a specific size appears on the market.

How It Works​

By default the add-on reconstructs the tape - combines all trades based on the aggressor ID.

For example, imagine an aggressive market order of size 10 is executed against 3 passive limit orders of sizes 5, 3, and 2. Here's how the Large Trades Alert add-on responds:

  • By default: It views this as one trade of size 10. So, if your threshold is 10, an alert will be triggered.

  • With “Individual trade events” checked: It sees 3 separate trades of sizes 5, 3, and 2. If your alert threshold is 10, the alert won't trigger because no single trade reaches this size.

Alert type​

You can choose the type of alerts you like: sound only, popup only, or both.

Alerts Filter​

You can choose what trade size should be filtered for alerts - simply select the minimum tape size for which you want to display the alert and click APPLY. After that, you will receive an alert as soon as the tape size is equal to or greater than the one you specified.

Individual trade events​

By default you see alerts for tapes, but you can click on the checkbox if you want to see alerts for individual trades instead of full tapes.

Installation​

Please note that the Large Trades Alert is only compatible with Bookmap version 7.4.0 build 11 or higher.

Additionally, this add-on takes advantage of the new Add-ons Manager feature, which simplifies both the installation and updating process. If you'd like to learn more about the Add-ons Manager and how it can benefit your experience, please visit the following page.
