The free 14 day Bookmap trial allows traders to understand what Bookmap is displaying, how to use the features, and begin understanding the order flow and other phenomena. The trial also allows access to our Educational Course, and Live Market Order Flow Advanced Analysis webinars. The trial gives you a good understanding of the software and education. As Michael noted below, it is a good moment to educate yourself as much as you can.
If more time is required, then maybe consider subscribing only for a 3 month period and treat this as an extended trial to continue learning at a low initial cost. This is part of the benefit to subscribing instead of purchasing something all at once. I hope this helps, let me know.
Before Bookmap I watched the DOM but followed foot print charts more closely. I was a client of Bookmap before working with the team. I immediately gravitated to Bookmap because foot print charts did not allow me to read the levels of liquidity. I knew there was an important piece of order flow missing but the DOM seemed disconnected from the foot print chart.
For me the process of reading the context of the volume foot print charts was synonymous to reading the historical context of the order book auction in Bookmap. It is of course different, but it's the process of understanding the context of volume compared to liquidity that is similar. The more I watched the Bookmap chart, the more the context and bits and pieces made good sense. I was up and running in a few weeks, but continue to learn a bit more of the nuances everyday as well.
The heatmap or historical order book projected onto the charts immediately showed me value. So many times I would see price stop and reverse but it was unclear why. Once I saw the historical book with high levels of liquidity, then it became clear. I hope this helps you, let me know!
If I sign up for the Advanced version of Bookmap **now** for a year (through, for example, Stage 5 Trading) - would I receive the updated version of the software (I believe you said it was coming in January, 2018) at no cost?
