What topic said!
I also have a question regarding the StopIceberg indicator on EPXs (and assume multicarts) heatmap in the topic about Icebergs in the post just under here.
Thanks!

I did a very if not good, atleast thoroughly in a post about both Edgeclear and EdgeproX. I bet you can see my last posts or something. On phone so a hassle link and such.
I really like it tho, hopefully not a spoiler 😂

I'm assuming you're not asking if MC indicators can be imported directly into EPX, because that's probably a no. But definitely ask in the Edge Clear forum on here; see if the specific studies/indicators you're looking for are available. I'd be surprised if they aren't. If it doesn't exist on EPX at all (which would surprise me), check over on the Motivewave user forum to see if exists elsewhere.
I've used EPX, and I used to use InvestorRT+Bookmap, I find the order book heatmap on EPX is just as good as on Bookmap. Basically, EPX comes setup with the heatmap on a 100milisecond bar chart where the bars are expressed as a line graph representing the "close" of each 100milisecond time bar. This makes it look like the bookmap heatmap. But the EPX heatmap is a study that you can put on any chart you want (time bars, volume bars, renko, pnf). I find it to be perfectly equal to Bookmap's heatmap. EPX also has a study called "Big Trades" which is the same as the Volume Dots on Bookmap, which I did learn to like when I used Bookmap.
Now, when it comes to Bookmap add-ons like the Stops & Icebergs Indicator, that is a Bookmap addon that has nothing to do with Bookmap's heatmap. It's just an indicator that costs extra and that is attached to the chart like any other indicator. I found little actionable value from the SI indicator because it's very short term; you have to be watching when it shows you what's happening. And, if you're watching price that closely, you can see stops and icebergs yourself without that indicator. I purchased the "MBO Bundle" with the SI Tracker when it first came out for like $80 or $90 USD per month, and I didn't fall in love with it. Maybe I just didn't know how to use it well. Who knows. And I have absolutely no idea if an SI Tracker (or something equivalent) exists for EPX, maybe it does. But I also believe footprint charts and imbalances can show you the same thing, which are on EPX and nearly every platform. I think it's just different ways of showing the same underlying data. Maybe I'm wrong.
Probably best to ask the Edge Clear folks on the Edge Clear forum on here.

PS. One thing I would like to see added to EPX is something like Bookmap's Liquidity Tracker. Bookmap published the formula and anyone can implement the formula (or a similar but slightly different formula) in a different platform. Basically, all it shows is the relative difference (imbalance or delta) between resting buys and resting sells. It's the inverse of volume delta; whereas volume delta shows the relative difference between executed trades (i.e., active buys and active sells), the liquidity tracker shows the relative difference between passive buys and sells resting on the book. Of course, you would set the indicator to only look so many ticks away from the current best bid/ask (say 50 ticks in each direction) and, the farther away the price level was from the best bid/ask, the less affect the resting volume at that price level would have on the resultant calculated value. This is one of those Bookmap tools that very short term in nature; you'd be looking for sudden changes in the calculated passive delta value.
Thank you Appollo911 for your very thorough response. I liked your comments about both EPX and Bookmap. Very illuminating! I will be signing up with EdgeProX and will move to hopefully learn at least half as much as you seem to know about that platform.
