I was doing some Jigsaw searching and noticed you are a platform user. I tried to send you a PM asking but you don't accept PMs. Could you direct me to any threads you have on your use of Jigsaw and your experiences with it? It would be greatly appreciated.
It would be easier for people to understand what you are doing if we had a picture of your DOM settings (just the parameters page should be fine), and which instrument you are trading.
I have never understood how anyone thinks they can use latent volume profiles in this nano second /pico second era of trading and think they have an edge.
However, if they are using this and it helps them with whatever it is they are seding then terrific. i am blown away with the popularity of the JIGSAW?
my question is?
do you have an inhouse exeprt or trader who is doing live trades with a live account using your jigsaw trader and do you post the results or do you have an algo that has been built to utilize your jigsaw in a real live trading account and if so what are the results?
obviously it is a tool but i can easily show you how a real world tool a hammer a saw or even a butter knife can be used just how is say to use it with consistent results.
do you have any real world results from say a consistent algo?
Here's a quick video from today for current reference. It is 4:40am ET so before RTH session and the market is slow, but this is ES on CQG data with ten levels of snapshot switched on.
Personally I never used it as unless it is a slow market the fact it resets on every price change just added more columns of flashing numbers as the orderbook increases or decreases by small amounts as expected, except when there is an obvious iceberg (or pulling of liquidity) and that is clear to see anyway. https://www.screencast.com/t/TWosGUMon

Thanks for posting the video. I don't have a video repository account. I hope it's alright to upload videos. I'm new to OBS but recorded a short vid of the SC DOM and uploaded for comparison. SC updates stack/pulls very different from JS.
I have stacks/pulls setup on either side of price. Depth is to the far right with red and green background. Note that the each p/s value persists. I'm not exactly sure how SC calculates it but the values are definitely not going to zero when price changes (except for the far outside b/a price). Also note the sum p/s. JS doesn't have that to my knowledge. I wonder if there is a parameter in JS that would add the sum p/s and not reset after every change in price?
No there isn't a sum total.
There is a Snapshot Filter, default zero, which can be set to not show low numbers. So set at 1 for example and the zeroes disappear leaving gaps (pictured).
Also a Snapshot Style setting of Delta or Original explained in the manual but it still resets on a price change.
The Sierra Charts version from your video looks more usable to me. I think with Jigsaw resetting it might be useful on thick markets but then pulling and stacking is obvious anyway, but in current volatile markets the Jigsaw version doesn't seem much use to me.
I hadn't realised you have Sierra Charts. I think the Jigsaw DOM is better than Ninja, I have never used Sierra Charts though and everything I have read about it says it is complicated to learn but it can do anything you want when you have it worked out.

Have you tried the NT Static DOM? It is okay, but doesn't show stacks/pulls. The "Dynamic DOM" is completely unusable especially during volatile periods. Maybe the dynamic is usable for algorithms, but I couldn't follow it at all.
Sierra Chart DOM is pretty good. I agree that it is way better than the NT DOM. The SC interface isn't what I would call "user friendly" though there are people who'd argue that point. The DOM itself isn't too hard to set up and use, but the documentation was helpful and necessary. I think SC is only so-so graphically. But it is super fast to load. I haven't explored their API yet, but I understand that is where it's power lies.
