OrderVane DOM for Quantower

Trade from your DOM. Read the book here.

OrderVane DOM opens a depth ladder in its own window beside Quantower's DOM Trader. It shows the size added and pulled on each side, which decreases were fills and which were pulls, where size was absorbed at a price, and how the book changed over the last few minutes.

Analysis only — it never places, changes or cancels an order.

The OrderVane DOM window — tape, flow panel and depth ladder, side by side.

What it reads

Four reads on every price.

Each column answers one question about a price, built from the same depth events and trades Quantower already receives.

Adds and pulls

See which side stepped back.

One column nets the size added and pulled at each price, and two figures on the best rows sum each side of the book, so a side that is being pulled stands out from one that is being stacked. Stack and pull, below, explains each figure.

Fills versus pulls

Size that left through trades is marked.

When resting size shrinks, OrderVane DOM waits a short window for a print at that price. A matching print makes it a fill; no print makes it a pull. Prices that keep filling get a chip such as F 10 ↻12 — 10 lots filled there, 12 put back while it was being hit — so absorption is something you can see, not guess.

OrderVane DOM order-level depth with callouts: one box per resting order and the order count at each price

Order-level depth (MBO)

Orders in the queue, not only a total.

When your connection sends order-level depth — on AMP/CQG one switch and a reconnect, Enable MBO mode — the ladder adds the number of orders at each price and draws the individual order sizes near the best prices in the order they arrived. Your own working orders get an estimate of the size ahead of them — an upper bound, and labeled as one.

Stack and pull

What changed at each price, not only what rests there.

Resting size can be added and pulled in a flash. Three columns on the ladder count that change, and a dial on the tape panel measures how fast prints are coming in.

The OrderVane DOM Net Σ column with callouts: a solid bar where more was added, a hollow outline where more was pulled, and the two column totals

Net Σ

Added minus pulled, one figure per row.

Each price gets one number: the size added there minus the size pulled. More added shows on the left half of the column as a solid bar; more pulled shows on the right half as a hollow outline. The two totals under the column add up the rows where more was added (+, left) and the rows where more was pulled (−, right).

OrderVane DOM Stack Σ and Pull Σ on the best ask row and the best bid row, with callouts

Stack Σ · Pull Σ

Each side of the book, summed.

On the best ask row, Stack Σ adds up the net size of every ask price where more was added than pulled, and Pull Σ the net size of every ask price where more was pulled. On the best bid row, the same for the bid side.

Pulled, not traded

A pull is size that left without a trade.

When resting size shrinks and no trade prints at that price within a short match window (150 ms by default), it counts as pulled: cancelled or moved. Size that left through trades is not counted in these columns.

60-second reset

The counts start over every minute.

The Σ figures reset every 60 seconds by default, so they describe the last stretch of the book rather than the whole session. Change the interval in the indicator settings, or set it to 0 to keep counting until you clear it.

Tape speed dial

How fast the prints are coming.

A dial at the top of the tape panel shows prints per second over the last 5 seconds. Its full scale sits near the busiest pace of the last ten minutes, so the needle compares the tape with its own recent pace. A measurement, not a signal.

Beside your DOM Trader

A second window, not a second order ticket.

Order entry stays where it is. OrderVane DOM only reads the book, so no click on this window can send an order.

Equalizer

Tune the panel while you watch it.

Five sliders over the flow panel — floor, top, bubble size, minimum trade and scale. Drag a track for a rough value or click the number to type an exact one.

The OrderVane DOM tape with callouts on the tape speed dial, grouped prints and effort

Tape and power meter

The prints and the effort, next to the ladder.

A reconstructed time & sales sits beside the ladder with same-price prints grouped into one row, under a dial for how fast the prints are coming. A header line sums buy and sell effort over the last seconds, and the adds and pulls around the best prices.

Fits your layout

A window that behaves like part of Quantower.

It follows the chart's symbol, snaps to the edges of Quantower's windows, and can stay on top. Prefer it on the chart? Switch the surface and the ladder draws on the right side of the chart instead.

Is it for you?

Built for traders who read the book.

We'd rather you know before you buy.

Built for you if…

  • You trade from Quantower's DOM and want a second read of the book beside it
  • Your data plan includes Level 2 — and ideally order-level depth — for what you trade
  • You watch size being added, pulled and filled at a price, and make your own call

Probably not for you if…

  • × You want to place or manage orders from this window — it never trades
  • × Your data plan has no market depth — the ladder needs Level 2
  • × You want buy/sell signals — it shows what the book did, you decide

Before you buy

What it needs, and where it stops.

What it needs to run, what it costs besides the license, and what it does not do — before you spend a cent.

In every license

  • Its own window, or a ladder on the chart
  • Permanent license for 2 machines
  • Documentation in 7 languages
  • Updates and direct email support from the developer

What you need to run it

  • A Windows PC
  • The Quantower trading platform
  • Level 2 market depth for the instrument you trade
  • Order-level depth for the order-level columns (on AMP/CQG, one setting and a reconnect: Enable MBO mode)

It installs like any Quantower indicator — the guide walks you through it.

What you actually pay

OrderVane DOM is a one-time purchase — no subscription, no renewal billing.

To run any Quantower indicator you'll also need the following — separately, and not paid to us:

  • A Quantower platform license (Quantower offers both free and paid tiers)
  • Market data with Level 2 depth. We have tested OrderVane DOM on AMP/CQG; on another connection, use the free trial to check it reads your book

We don't take a cut of either — and we'd rather you hear that from us than discover it later.

Being straight with you

  • It reads the book, it doesn't predict it — you see what the book did, not what happens next
  • It never places, changes or cancels an order — order entry stays in Quantower's DOM Trader
  • Depth from before the window was attached is not available — the platform does not store past depth
  • Session volume is recalculated from your broker's trade history when it reloads, so a busy stretch can read slightly differently than it did live
  • Without order-level depth, those columns are simply not drawn — the rest of the ladder is unaffected

Questions

Straight answers to fair questions.

Does it place orders?

No. OrderVane DOM never places, changes or cancels an order. It reads the depth and trades Quantower already receives, and reads your working orders and position only to draw them. Order entry stays in Quantower's DOM Trader.

Do I need OrderVane Lite or Pro?

No. OrderVane DOM is a separate indicator with its own license key. If you already use Lite or Pro, it installs alongside them.

Which market data do I need?

Level 2 market depth for the instrument. Order counts, order segments and the queue boxes need order-level depth; on AMP/CQG that is one setting in the connection, Enable MBO mode, then reconnect. Without it those parts are simply not drawn — they never show zeros that mean unknown, and everything else works on plain Level 2. The connection we have tested is AMP/CQG; on another one the free trial will show you in a minute whether it reads your book.

Can it show what the book did before I opened it?

No. The platform does not store past market depth, so recording starts when the window is attached. The session volume column comes from Quantower's volume analysis of the session (or the chart's bars if that cannot be loaded), so it is filled from the start.

How do the trial and the license work?

The 14-day trial is the full product on your own charts, with no card. After purchase your key activates on two computers at a time; release it on one to move it to another.
