Features:

Keyboard shortcuts: User assignable keyboard shortcuts for quick execution using Bookmap’s Trading Control Panel functions

• Join Bid/Ask
• Buy Bid/Sell Ask
• Buy/Sell Market
• Flatten
• Cancel All
• Reverse
• VWAP Buy
• VWAP Sell
• Move Limit Orders
• Move Stop Orders
• Move to Breakeven

Apart from the Standard Keyboard features we also added the following execution features:

Latency to Exchange (ms): because Bookmap is extremely quick at processing microstructure data it is extremely quick at responding and sending orders to Rithmic/CQG etc. Thus in order to avoid sending messages too quickly and getting flagged by a high msg rate warning, we provide the user with a latency setting to maximize the reaction time. Since each user has a different geo location while some will use Bookmap on colocated hosted servers, the distance from your broker execution servers will vary.

Reset to Limit: when the Bookmap Bracket setting is used and this feature is selected. When a fill for the pending order is detected the Bracket orders will be placed and then will be automatically disabled on Bookmap’s trading panel. This is for those times when a trader may want to scale out/into position using limit orders without sending a new Bracket and offset prices.

Re-Enable Brackets (Flat): This feature is used to re-enable brackets on the Bookmap trade panel after a position is closed.

Cancel All (Flat): With this feature enabled, the addon will send a cancel all request when a position becomes FLAT. This helps removing any extra/pending orders.

Cancel Orphan Brackets (Flat): Similar to the previous feature but this one will cancel only orphan bracket orders when a position becomes FLAT.

Update Bracket Orders: enabled the auto update of the child orders quantity of the already pending bracket orders .This setting will offset/update the bracket orders if you scale out of your position manually.

Breakeven Enabled: enable a function that will automatically move the stop to breakeven.

Breakeven ticks: this will use the detected fill price and move the stop only when the fill price +/- X ticks becomes the best bid or offer.

Move Breakeven +: this will set the stop + X ticks from the fill price detected.

Resize Order Qty: This will automatically resize/reset the default order quantity back to the user default setting after an increase/decrease to the default order size. (Used as a default reset when a trader wishes to temporarily increase/decrease an order entry/exit size)

Resize Qty Value: this will set the default user defined order size value to be used upon the resize.

Theoretical Price Settings: This will calculate the initial open order fill price +/- any profit or loss and plot a line where the b/e price on the open trade is.

Payup Enabled: when resting an order on the bid/ask and the resting quantity on the opposite side ask/bid  drops below the threshold quantity it will “pay up” move the order the specified quantity of chase ticks from the initial submitted bid/ask order.

Payup Size: threshold resting quantity that will activate the pay up logic.

Chase ticks: quantity of ticks allowed to chase the opposite side when Payup is triggered.

Reset Vwap: Will reset the Vwap calculation used for submitting an order to the Vwap price

Reset Seconds: quantity of seconds/time of the Vwap period

Move Limits: Enable move all limit orders

Lmt + ticks: quantity of ticks the order(s) will move up in price

Lmt – ticks: quantity of ticks the order(s) will move down in price

Move Stops: Enable move all stop orders

Stop + ticks:  quantity of ticks the order(s) will move up in price

Stop – ticks:  quantity of ticks the order(s) will move down in price

Important Notice:

When using manual limit orders to force an exit before the market reaches your stop/target orders , extra caution is to be taken with bracket stops/targets orders that are in close proximity to the last trade price in volatile markets in that you may be flat and then inadvertently have your resting orders swept  into a position before BM receives/shows the brackets orders whereby the Addon will have time to cancel before the market reaches those orphan orders.
