Note:

  • You can modify cells such as Symbol and Exchange.
  • When subscribing to an instrument, there's an option to download Historical Data. The data length varies based on the market and your Bookmap plan.
  • Bookmap can retrieve data you've recorded for an instrument, ensuring no loss if a session is cut short.
  • After setting up, hit 'Subscribe' to view the instrument chart in the main window.
  • Connections remain in the configuration until manually removed. This means you won't need to repeat the process every time you use Bookmap.
