OCO Orders for Binance exchange

A month ago, Binance added support for OCO orders (One-Cancels-Other), which are a group of Limit and Stop-Limit order types. When either one of the orders is executed, the other one is automatically canceled. And when canceling either one of the orders, the entire OCO pair is canceled. In this release, we have also added this type of order for our users.

How to create an OCO order on Binance?

For Buy OCO order, the price for limit order < current market price. Also, the trigger stop price > market price.

For Sell OCO order, the price for limit order > current market price. Also, the trigger stop price < market price.

Select OCO from the drop-down list of orders, then specify the price of the Limit order, as well as the price trigger for the stop order and the price of the limit for the stop-limit order. Specify the order volume, then click the Buy (or Sell) button to place the order.

New indicator Delta-Rotations

The Delta-Rotations indicator plots in real-time the accumulated aggressive orders of the market participants on each rotational move through the delta. As a result, it allows the detection of shifts between supply and demand through the relation of the height of the bars to their corresponding price and the elapsed time.

Delta Rotations indicator in Quantower platform

Delta Rotations indicator in 3rdDimension platform

In the case of an up move (upward trend), the long elongated structural move will show sustained demand through considerably high bars. On the other hand, pullbacks will show relatively low supply through a shorter rotational move represented by lower selling aggression.

Higher moves with decreasing overall demand (declining delta rotations) show exhaustion through reducing buying pressure and are signs of potential reversals.

The same concepts apply for down moves with dominating supply/selling aggression and decreasing demand/buy aggression.

Custom Tick Size for DOM Trader

In the previous release, we have already added custom Tick Size for Chart and DOM Surface panels. Now it is available for DOM Trader panel as well. For those who missed the previous release, we remind you that this setting “aligns” all levels in DOM to the required tick size.

For example, some data providers and exchanges do not provide the minimum value by which the price of a trading instrument changes. As a result, the price scale uses the wrong value of the price, creating gaps.

Take a look at three screenshots. On the left without Custom Tick Size, on the middle screenshot with this setting. If the tick size is set higher than the minimum or specified by the exchange, the Level2 data will be aggregated like on the right screenshot

Added Elliot triangle Wave, Triangle pattern, Three Drives pattern

Elliot triangle Wave

Elliot Wave is a popular theory in technical analysis, which is based on the cyclical behavior of the price. Using Elliot Wave drawing, you can graphically identify the waves to determine the correction or trend reversal.

In the drawing settings, you can select the type of wave marker to indicate different types of waves on one chart — Cycle, Primary, Intermediate etc.

Triangle pattern

Triangles are a popular technical pattern that analysts frequently use to anticipate potential price reversals. The Triangle Pattern drawing tool allows you to plot four points (A, B, C, D) in order to overlay a triangle onto the candlesticks of a price chart. The idea is to place the points on four alternating highs and lows. That is to say, points A and C would be on consecutive highs (or lows) and B and D would then be on consecutive lows (or highs).

Three Drives pattern

The Three Drives Pattern is a well-known harmonic chart pattern that consists of a series of three higher highs or lower lows, which signals a potential reversal.

In the classical bullish version of this pattern, there are three drives or pushes in the upward direction. After each push, there is a retracement of 0.618 Fibonacci retracements of the previous drive.

The next drive needs to end near the 1.272 Fibonacci extensions for the price action to qualify for the pattern. When the price gets close to the drive 3 point at the 1.272 extension, you would put in an order to sell.

Three Drives Pattern drawing in Quantower platform

Your target would be the 0.618 retracement of the entire move from point zero to the top of drive 3. 

Then, of course, the classical bearish pattern is the same thing, but upside down.

Huobi Crypto exchange and New coloring mode for Cluster Chart

Huobi Crypto exchange and New coloring mode for Cluster Chart

Custom coloring mode for Cluster Chart

The new color scheme for the cluster chart will allow experienced traders to define more precisely the places and levels with a large volume, number of trades and delta. This is very similar to filtering, which at a given value of the cluster will apply the necessary color. 

As an example, let’s see how it works on ES futures.

Go to the chart settings and select the desired data type on which to build the cluster. Then select Custom coloring in Cluster Visualization. Additional color settings will appear for the three cluster levels. At the first level, we will set 1000 contracts in one cluster, at the second 2000 and at the third 5000. For each level, set green, blue and red colors, respectively.
If you zoom out the chart, then due to the color filtering we can see clusters with large volumes, i.e. zones of high interest. 

Connection to Huobi Global crypto exchange

Added a new trading connection to the popular Huobi Global cryptocurrency exchange. This exchange offers traders 200+ cryptocurrencies and 500+ trading pairs. As for other crypto exchanges, here we also added two connection modes:

Custom Tick Size for Chart and DOM Surface panels

This setting allows you to “align” the chart to the desired tick size. For example, some data providers and exchanges do not provide the minimum value by which the price of a trading instrument changes. As a result, the price scale uses the wrong value of the price, creating gaps. This is especially noticeable on the Order Flow or DOM Surface charts. Using this setting, you can more accurately set the minimum price change and get the correct price display.

Added the function of minimizing a panel

Any open panel, group or bind can be minimized to the taskbar by clicking Minimize button. This function is quite simple and allows you to more conveniently work with open panels.

Changed the calculation of tick directions for Binance

We improved the mechanism for calculating tick directions, which is involved in volume tools. Earlier, when a new trade executed, if the price did not change, then the volume of this trade we referred to the None category and it did not refer to Buy or Sell. As a result, the total volume of trades marked None reached 50% of the total trading volume.
Now, if a new trade has the same price as the previous trade, it is assigned a category, like the previous trade.

DOM Surface panel for deep Order Flow analysis

DOM Surface panel for deep Order Flow analysis

The first and main news of this release is the new DOM Surface panel, which has become an improved version of the existing Order Flow Surface panel. Connecting to Coinbase Pro, a new charting style and alerts for indicators are ready for use in the 3rdDimension platform

DOM Surface Panel — a brand new view on order flow analysis

The liquidity analysis in the Order Book gives a key to understanding the market and allows you to see patterns and levels from which the price can bounce back with a high probability. For this purpose, the Order Flow Surface panel is already available in our platform, which shows all changes and evolution in limit orders in the form of a map. But we went further 🙂

Today we are pleased to present DOM Surface — a new and improved tool for professional analysis of order flow. So, let’s see what’s interesting in it:

  1. Added three coloring modes to visualize the liquidity map  Monochrome, Bichrome, Heatmap.
    Three coloring modes in DOM Surface panel
  2. The execution of market orders is shown in the form of Circles. Red circles indicate the execution of sell orders, and green circles indicate the execution of buy. The size of the circle corresponds to the order volume. In the settings of the panel, you can set the maximum size of the circle, its opacity, as well as the maximum trade size.
    DOM Surface shows execution of market orders
  3. In addition to the Last Trade line, you can include Bid/Ask lines on the chart. For each line, you can set any color for a better perception.
    Enable lines of Bid, Ask and Last price in DOM surface panel
  4. On the right side of the panel, there are three histograms  Size, Cumulative Size, Order Book Imbalance.
    Size shows the volume of limit orders at each price.
    Cumulative Size shows the sum of Limit order volumes for each subsequent level. This histogram allows estimating the dominating side of the market.
    Imbalance shows how many percents of buyers are more than sellers (and vice versa) for each price level.
    DOM Surface has three histograms — Size, Cumulative Size, Imbalance
  5. When you move the cursor over the map area, information on the level and volume at each price will be displayed in the upper left corner. By activating the info mode, you can hover over any circle and see the actual size of the executed order. 
    Activate the info mode in DOM Surface and explore the details for every trade or resting orders
  6. The main bar of the panel has quick settings where you can set the required number of DOM levels, as well as their contrast. This allows you to focus on levels with high liquidity.
    Set the required number of DOM levels and their contrast
  7. Added 9 Hot Keys to perform basic trading operations: placing market orders, placing limit orders by the best bid/offer price, canceling orders and closing positions. This is by far great addition which allows you to quickly respond to changing market conditions.
    DOM Surface has trading hotkeys for quick placing of market and limit orders as well as their closing and canceling
  8. We have added an auto-centering of the chart, which aligns the price position in case the bid/ask lines go beyond the chart visibility.

Alerts for Indicators

At the user’s request, we added alerts for indicators. After setting an alert on the necessary indicator, it will be active until the specified condition is met. Alert placement is performed in the same way as on the main chart, i.e. through the “Bell” icon

Activate and place the alert on the desired indicator

And that’s where I have to say goodbye, but not for long. We have more other news coming your way very soon, so keep your eyes open!

By the way, speaking of the updates. To get the new version, click on the “Logo” icon and open the sidebar, then press the “NEW VERSION” button at the bottom and get on About screen. Press the “DOWNLOAD” button, and 3rdDimension will download the latest version and prepare it for the update.

New Chart Type – Volume Bars

New Chart Type – Volume Bars

New Chart Type – Volume Bars

Volume Bars are built based on volume data — tick or exchange volume when available. Time is not involved in this aggregation. Each bar in a Volume Bar chart contains a specified volume level. This volume level is reached by accumulating the volume of each of the underlying bars. When the volume level is reached, the next Volume Bar begins to accumulate volume from the underlying bars.
