Bookmap: order book heatmaps, a free crypto plan and paid Global tiers

Shopping at Bookmap? See all current Bookmap discount codes and deals, checked regularly.

Bookmap is a charting and trading platform built around one idea: showing you the order book, not just the price. Instead of a plain candlestick chart, it draws resting limit orders as a heatmap, so you can see where liquidity has been sitting and how it shifted as price moved through it. It suits active day traders in futures, US stocks and crypto who already understand order flow, or want to learn it, and who are happy to run a desktop platform alongside their broker.

Bookmap isn't a broker. You connect it to a data feed and, if you want to place orders from the chart, to a supported broker such as Rithmic, Tradovate, CQG, TradeStation or Interactive Brokers. The software subscription and the market data are billed separately, which is worth understanding before you compare prices.

What's worth a look

Here are the four software plans and the two most common ways to add market data.

Digital (Free)Crypto charts, delayed stocks and futures, 1 symbol$0View at Bookmap GlobalMonthly; up to 10 symbols, real-time crypto$49View at Bookmap Global PlusMonthly; 20 symbols and advanced add-ons$99View at Bookmap Global PremiumMonthly; adds the MBO bundle and Options Strike$199View at Bookmap BookmapData CME BundleMonthly; CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX depth data$79View at Bookmap BookmapData single exchangeMonthly; full-depth data for one futures exchange$34View at Bookmap

The free Digital plan is the low-risk way in. It covers crypto charts, delayed US stocks and futures, one symbol at a time and a one-hour crypto backfill, which is enough to see whether the heatmap view actually helps your trading. If it does, Global is the main paid step up: up to 10 symbols at once, real-time crypto, trading from the chart, Multibook and a four-hour order flow course, at $49 a month or $39 a month billed yearly.

Global Plus ($99 a month, or $79 billed yearly) doubles the symbol limit to 20 and adds the advanced add-on set and an extended order book. Global Premium ($199 a month, $158 billed yearly) bundles in the MBO add-ons, including the Stops & Icebergs Tracker and Liquidity Tracker Pro, plus Options Strike for SPX gamma levels. All three paid tiers are also sold as lifetime licences, from $990.

For futures and stocks you'll also need data. BookmapData is Bookmap's own feed, with full-depth market-by-order data for CME Group futures at $34 a month per exchange, or $79 a month for CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX together. It works with any paid plan but not with the free Digital plan. Third-party feeds such as dxFeed and Rithmic are listed too. Crypto connections such as Binance and Bitfinex carry no data fee.

Current offers

• The Digital plan is free and includes free real-time market data access for digital currencies, so you can sign up and start without a card.
• Code BOOKMAP30ANNUAL takes 30% off Global Annual and Global Plus Annual subscriptions.
• On the site, the Global Premium lifetime licence includes Options Strike for its first year.

How to save more

• Start on the free plan and only upgrade once you know which features you'd use. Many traders only need Global's 10 symbols.
• If you're staying, annual billing is already cheaper than monthly ($39 against $49 for Global), and the 30% code applies on top of the annual plans it covers.
• Pick data carefully: if you only trade one futures exchange, a single $34 feed costs less than the $79 CME bundle. Check whether you'd count as a professional user, because professional exchange fees are much higher.
