TJ,
the problem you will run in is that you can't access the market depth through EL directly, so you will need a different way to get the next five(ten) bid/ask values. In case you have these values, it's not a problem to build the DOM.

Regards,

ABC

it's too bad EL cannot access the DOM levels.

Maybe MC can step up and create these capabilities with PowerLanguage extensions ?

That would make MC really special.

It would indeed. NeoTicker is your best choice if you want to do order book analysis.

Cheers,

As ABC notes you can import DOM/Bid/Ask values from the TwsDDE.xls into Multicharts with the TS ELExcell.dll .

Four years later, and it's not possible (yet).

If you, like me, would like to use market depth data in indicators, strategies and the Market Scanner, please vote for Locusta's Order Book Data availability in PowerLanguage / Chart / Storing Level 2 - Data issue.

Thanks! :)

Yes, this is a must have feature. I've added my vote. It really should be number priority by now.
