Formatting issue seems not related to this thread and @artemiso's post after all. But it is coming and going in odd ways, and @xplorer also has a changelog post about it.
More in the changelog.

It is interesting that @JonnyBoy's correspondent did not see the limit orders on the DOM when he tried it, but I think we need to understand how he went about testing it.
I think that anyone will get the same results following the steps in @JonnyBoy's video file titled "RTY Live Trading Account REAL LIMIT Order Placement" (the first of three), attached to this post:
I got sent an email via Big Mike and bobwest. This email was from a new FIO user that just signed up. They couldn't send me a DM directly until they have made a certain number of forum posts.

They should make sure they are in their connected live account, and should place their orders a good distance from the current market price and cancel quickly so there is little chance of the market taking a sudden lunge in their direction and getting them filled. Testing with large orders might be a little risky.
If, after following these steps, the test did not show the expected results, then it would need to be examined to find out why not.
The way that orders on the DOM are displayed is standard and well-known. Orders placed on the book show in the DOM and stay until they are matched. If resting orders were not visible to any market participant, order flow trading, which is widely practiced, would not be possible. Any actual live limit order that is placed on the book is available for anyone to see, using a variety of tools that include the DOM.
If it does not show, it was not submitted to the exchange. It is actually very simple.

Maybe this has changed recently, but CME Direct (CME's version of WebICE cough cough!) used to be limited to larger traders, prop shops and institutions. In fact checking the website it still says CME Direct: One-Stop Trading: Futures, Options and Blocks for Institutional Traders
What are these support and resistance lines called ? Well, let me say that again, who has these or what programmer makes them ? I have some but they are real thick and that makes having a support line 4 points kinda usless. Thanks
Sorry I should have pointed them out a little more. I drew some arrows to the ones I was trying to mention. I have some but they range from 3 to 5 points, these seem to be more narrow and dont cloud the screen so much.
The the ribbon band is comprised of two parts ... the Eagle whose data is based on the time frame of the current chart (ie 8bar, 16bar, 32bar). The other band he calls the hawk is actually the eagle of the next higher chart.... so on an 8bar chart, the hawk on a 8 bar chart is the eagle on a 16 bar chart.
I have a set that installed on my NT8 that I got free from trading indicators. But they are thick and can range from 1 point to 5 points as S/R. I have been playing with them and seems what time frame you use or ticks or renko which works sometimes they differ in size.
