Loading Order Flow Data

Top  Previous  Next

Jigsaw is an Order Flow oriented platform but we do not always download all order flow information for each chart. If you look at the S&P500 Futures right now, there's roughly 36 million Level 1 messages per day.

 

We will load regular bar data each time a chart is opened. Level 1 information will be loaded as necessary. The indicators/studies that use Level 1 history data are:

 

Charts

JT FootPrint

 

Studies

JT Cumulative Delta

JT FootPrint Stats

 

When you run one of these charts, if the Level 1 data is not in the tick database, then it will load it on demand and you will see a message like this:

 

historyload

 

This may take a while, as it's downloading L1 data for a number of days. Different data providers will take different amounts of time to do this.
