also another thing .....Order Flow probably needs to be thought of Market Orders/Limit Orders///Aggressive MO/Aggressive Limits.
AD is just a tool. But the same thing can be done with other tools or also charts. You can have exact info which is shown on a DOM also print on a chart if one desires. A common exanple is Ladder which people use...but you can do the same thing on a candle stick chart too. Whatever is most convenient to a user.
Limits & what happens at Limit Levels & how the market acts/re-acts to Aggressive Orders(MO/Limits) will define Order Flow.
Likewise the study of Delta at Limit Levels or otherwise may be helpful...which one needs to determine if they are or not
Iīm agree with you, paps.... effectively the tools are only that: tools. It need an interpretation. Actually I use Auction Dashboard and Jigsaw tools, and Iīm look for confirmation of entry in the backs of impulses in ES.... reaccumulation, defence areas, etc.
Thanks to donations like yours, we are walking the path. Again, Thank you!!
As with Chuck T's experience, after sending another request for authentication I didn't hear back, but I re-loaded AD on a chart to see if I simply didn't get notice, and voila it was working. So, he/they are addressing things (for now). If you've purchased but hadn't heard from them that you've been activated, you may want to try applying AD to a chart as your license, machine ID, may have been input to the server but they simply didn't notify you.
I had initially installed on my Laptop as it is with me all the time and I use it to try new things etc... It began to work. Still my trading computer, a desktop at another location with better internet, did not work. I tried it the next day and same thing happened, it just worked. I still have not received a single email from Steven but he seems to be quietly plowing thru the back log and helping those with license issues.
BE PERSISTENT IF YOU NEED HELP! The Desktop computer was the one I added in when I sent the paypal to him so he actually responded to my earlier requests before getting to the "paid" request.
After seeing him respond to the license requests I went ahead and purchased two licenses. For the price I am blown away with what you see in AD and the depth of function built into it. I just hope he can pull together the NT8 version soon. I really like NT8 so much better than NT7.
Thanks to all who have posted. Paps, thanks for the wisdom shared.
It seems what jralvaroglez was asking was whether the numbers printed reflect true contract volume verses trade volume. My understanding is, in the context of AD, or any footprint tool, you are looking at contracts traded, not orders traded. If an order has 5 contracts then 5 is added to the total, not 1. The interesting thing AD features is insight into limit orders tailing in , or "absorption", and the effect it has on price movement.
If this is not correct, someone please shed some light on the subject.
Paps, thanks for posting the marked up AD shot.Did you mark this up? or is it something burried in the middle of the dense manual? I am trying to work my way thru the material but it is a real learning curve for me.
Also, Do you have a template or two saved of any favorite/helpful tweeks you have made to AD settings you would be willing to share?
Not sure on the screenshot part. I dont think i have read the manual...forget where i got them from.
on the DOM understanding part perhaps one may want to get into sections of this video if not full... perhaps what u want may start at marker 28mins
hopefully it will get into explanations of how many Limits ran and where one can see Volume. Its best to understand that from the vids put together by the developers themselves
Great pointer and reference point in video. Downloaded it and will watch and rewatch. There are layers and layers of market data to get a handle on in AD. This is amazing. Thanks for the help
Just wanted to post the text of the email I received from AD sales this afternoon and note that I was given a 20% discount refund on my paypal account. I believe Steven is sincerely trying to work thru the backlog and is showing tenacity in his determined mission on NT8 AD.
Email text:
We're very sorry about our delays: we don't intend to do business that way. We've obviously had problems communicating recently. We're still here: development for a Ninja 8 release has been consuming us; and we haven't stopped working on that.
We've issued a refund for a 20% discount on your purchase. You should see an email from PayPal.
We have activated one machine that you previously sent us, on the lifetime license: the machine ID is:
2A51014453D..................
Please let us know if we need to make any changes; and we can activate your second machine at any time.
Below is information about machine activation, downloading, the User Guide, and contact information.
We activate your machine by its Machine ID, which we need for you to email to us. Getting the Machine ID in NinjaTraderŪ is simple:
In the Control Center's Help menu, choose "About". In this window is an entry with your Machine ID. We only need for you to copy that and email that to us. Be sure to select and copy the entire ID.
With that, your lifetime license will be activated on the given machine. You may email it directly on a reply to this email.
If your machine changes in the future, we are able to switch your license to your active machine at any time: you would just need to notify us of the machine ID that you would like activated.
If you've begun a free trial, your machine will be activated on your lifetime license as soon as we receive your ID.

On this page, you will find Auction Dashboard's™ User Guide:
[I]deleted as it was pointed out by Emun I was careless in posting the link inadvertently [/I]
The above manual is for users only; and so the website menus will not contain a link to that page.

If you have questions at any time, you can email support: [email protected]
it is fine and it gives a good account of Steven... But Iīm afraid that you didnīt read the text. Steven writes that the User guide is for users only and thatīs the reason, why the website menus doesnīt contain the link to it. I donīt know why he do it so, but I strongly believe that you should respect it! The e-mail is for you, not for everybody
Thanks, I was tired and busy and while editing my machine ID I failed to edit that link. It is done now. Sorry for the compromise, no harm intended. Just wanted to supply more info for those considering AD and to affirm Steven is still plowing through a back log of emails.
