Tools – Overview, Key Benefits

Jigsaw “LTF” Charts

Jigsaws “LTF” Charts is an innovative full charting package made to work “out of the box” with minimum need for user settings or complex setup.  We added traditional charts to our Order Flow package in response to tightening of regulations by the CME that sees your data fees increase dramatically if you connect from 3 or more apps. This is a charting tool for traders, it is not meant to be a huge and complex tool with thousands of options per chart and indicator. That’s been done elsewhere and we aren’t trying to do what everyone else is doing or compete with “tools you tinker with forever”. This is what 99% of people need from their charting “with as few clicks as possible”.

We started with “LTF” – Lower Time Frames – or those below the daily timeframe. More timeframes and charts are on the way. Watch the video to the left to see what’s included.

Depth & Sales (Depth of Market)

The Depth & Sales is Jigsaw’s interpretation of the Depth of Market (DOM). A tool that is the cornerstone of the proprietary trader’s decision making process. It is here we see the interaction between passive traders (limit orders) and active traders (market orders). This is where we get a visceral feel for trading activity. Regardless of how you will make decisions longer term (via the DOM or our more visual tools), spending time doing drills on our DOM will pay off huge dividends in terms of your market understanding.

The Depth & Sales shows:

  • The impact of trades hitting the market
  • Where traders are getting stuck
  • Likely location of stop orders/where traders are positioned
  • Where traders are pulling(cancelling) their orders, to avoid a move
  • Where traders are stacking (iceberging) and front-running the market in anticipation of the market holding
  • Balance of trade/momentum
  • Alert column for pre-market notes
  • Integration to JS Services Desktop
  • Order Queue Position
  • Trade P&L Per Price

The Depth & Sales is also your primary order entry tool, with one click trading, automated exit strategies, auto order types, volume based stops, and the overall feel of an execution tool that could only have been developed by a fellow trader.

Auction Vista – Click for Full Size

The Auction Vista – Order Flow History

Auction Vista gives a detailed view of both real time and historical order flow. An extremely accurate ‘self tuning’ view with very few settings required to get the most from it.

  • Market Depth visualization – the shaded background contains lighter areas show us where liquidity exists. This is not a guarantee of the market holding but a heads up that other traders are interested in that area. As price approaches, we look for front running by other trader or for the liquidity to be pulled out of the way.
  • Large Trade Circles – our proprietary algorithm, reveals areas of high volume that trade at a level over time. Time and time again, these circles pinpoint key areas such as the end of a volume blow off, iceberg orders and market turning points.
  • Trade From Chart – Manage your trades directly from the chart.
  • Price Delta Chart, Cumulative Delta, Volume Delta Bars, Depth Histogram and Flip Charts make this the most complete Order Flow chart on the market.

Trade Simulator

Learning to trade or learning a new strategy is problematic on most trade platforms. Unless you are trading live, with real money – you’ll never know how realistic the results are. That’s because most platforms take an optimistic view on the prices you’d be filled at. Jigsaw daytradr is different – it gives you realistic fills on Limit Orders and realistic slippage on Market and Stop Orders.

So whether you are learning to trade OR trying out a new strategy, the Jigsaw Trade Simulator gives you a much more realistic set of results.

PoT Gauge

Smart Gauges

The Pace of Tape (PoT) Smart Gauge comes in over 50 styles and gives you an easy to absorb view of the pace of trading in a market relative to recent historical average.

The most obvious use of this is to see the change in trading activity at key inflection points (e.g. support & resistance levels) in the market. Less obvious uses are in helping to gauge the strength of a pullback, the chances of a market breaking out and in trade management. These are all uses of the pace of trade used by institutional day traders every day.

A slightly different use but equally beneficial is monitoring the pace of correlated markets. For example, if S&P, Nasdaq and DOW Futures are all lively – you have more chance of follow through. If only your market is lively but the other 2 quiet, it’s more likely any move will soon fade.

In addition to this, we also have meters for:

  • Market Depth
  • Order Book pulling/Stacking
  • Trades (all trades, trades since opening a position, trades in past n seconds, filtered trades)
  • Jigsaw Pace of Tape

And Much More

There’s too many great features to list that aren’t on this page but for the really curious, you can take a look at the product manual.

  • Reconstructed Tape – Time & Sales on steroids!

  • Custom Trading Sessions
  • Automatic Symbol Download
