DOM indicator for chart

Postby ObiWan » 11 Aug 2012

Is there available an indicator which graphically shows the total size in the visible book on the chart?

Thanks
ObiWan

There is a prebuilt indicator in current version of MultiCharts that is called "--- Market Depth on Chart ---". I believe if you change its script, you will be able to see total values on chart; or you can use it as an example to write your own indicator.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks.

I don't see listed as an indicator on latest MC of MC64.
Do you see it?
IS it called something else maybe?

It should be there, right on top in the list of indicators. Please make sure that you have latest MultiCharts build: 5620 (32 bit) or 5622 (64 bit)

A great indicator! I would like to see a "total bid" below the lowest bid displayed, in a color other than red and blue, and a "total offered" above the highest bid displayed, also in a color other than red and blue.

Not sure how to modify the code...any thoughts?

You can plot the total value as text. Here is example hot to get total bid value:

Code: Select all

value2 = 0;
for value1 = 0 to dom_bidscount - 1 begin
value2 = value2 + dom_bidprice(value1);
draw_DOM_level(
dom_bidprice(value1), dom_bidsize(value1), value1, value11,
gradientcolor( value1, 0, 10, RGB(0,0,255), RGB(0,0,80) ),
dom_bidscount - 1 = value1
);
end;

As far as I know, it only works on broker feeds. It would be really great, if MC would be able to access the book of all datafeeds. The datafeeds carry this information, so in my opinion it doesn't make sense to only limit it to broker data.

Regards,

Chris

virginiatrader,

not exactly what you search, but this modification sums up the bids and asks and shows the percentage of the total orderbook.

That would be indeed great. Especially since most of us will use a separate data feed because that one is better than the one provided by the broker. It's a shame then to be stuck with the broker's lesser data.

Sadly however:
We will consider this feature for implementation, however it is not planned to be implemented in the nearest future.
