See Liquidity,
Not Just Price

Bookmap is a market visualization platform that allows traders to see real-time order flow, liquidity, and volume directly on the chart, helping them better understand how price moves and where trades are actually happening.

What Is Bookmap?

Bookmap is a professional trading platform designed to visualize market depth and order flow in real time. Instead of relying solely on traditional indicators, traders can see where liquidity is placed, how it changes over time, and how price interacts with it.

This approach helps traders better interpret market behavior, identify key levels, and make more informed trading decisions.

How Bookmap Works

Bookmap displays a heatmap of the order book, showing resting liquidity at different price levels over time. As orders are added, pulled, or executed, the visualization updates in real time.

Where large orders are resting

How liquidity shifts before and during price moves

Where aggressive buying or selling is occurring

Yes. When opening a direct brokerage account with Plus500, eligible users receive included market data for CME Group exchanges, including:

  • CME
  • CBOT
  • NYMEX
  • COMEX

A Bookmap subscription (Global or Global+) is still required.

Plus500 provides high-quality full-depth market data, including Market-by-Order (MBO) data, which allows you to see individual orders in the order book.

This gives traders detailed visibility into liquidity and order flow directly within Bookmap.

No — the MBO Bundle (Stops & Icebergs, Liquidity Tracker Pro, etc.) is not compatible with the Plus500 data feed.

While Plus500 provides MBO data, it is delivered through a different infrastructure than BookmapData CME, which is required for MBO Bundle add-ons.

Many traders use this setup effectively without additional add-ons.

Plus500 offers both:

  • Brokerage services through Plus500US (a regulated Futures Commission Merchant – FCM)
  • Execution and order routing infrastructure used by brokers and partners.

This dual setup is what enables both the order routing and all-in-one brokerage options.

To begin trading with the Plus500 brokerage integration, you need:

  • A Bookmap Global or Global+ subscription
  • A Plus500 brokerage account
  • Completed onboarding, verification, and funding

Bookmap is primarily an analysis and market visualization platform designed to show order flow, liquidity, and volume in real time. Traders use Bookmap to analyze market behavior and identify key levels, then execute trades either through a connected broker or their existing execution workflow, depending on the setup.

Many traders run Bookmap alongside their trading platform, while others choose to execute directly through supported broker integrations.

In many cases, yes.

Bookmap supports trade execution through selected brokers and platforms. Availability depends on the broker, market, and data feed you are using. Execution functionality is optional—some traders use Bookmap purely for analysis, while others integrate it fully into their trading workflow.

Execution support and setup details vary by partner.

Bookmap is best suited for traders who want a deeper understanding of how markets actually trade, rather than relying solely on traditional indicators.

While beginners can use Bookmap, the platform is designed around order flow, liquidity, and market structure, which may be unfamiliar to newer traders at first. To support learning, Bookmap offers educational resources, tutorials, and example workflows to help users understand how to interpret the data and visuals correctly.

Bookmap supports a range of futures and stock markets, depending on the selected data provider and broker integration.

Market availability is determined by:

  • The data feed you connect to Bookmap
  • The broker or partner you trade through
  • The specific exchanges supported by that setup

Your [partner] can help confirm which markets and instruments are available with their offering.

No.

Bookmap is widely used by futures traders, but it also supports stocks and other instruments through compatible data providers. The platform is especially valuable in markets where order flow and liquidity play a significant role in price movement.

Market availability depends on the partner and data feed.

Traditional charting platforms focus primarily on price and indicators derived from price.

Bookmap focuses on market depth, liquidity, and executed volume, allowing traders to see how price interacts with real orders in the market. This provides additional context around support, resistance, breakouts, and reversals that may not be visible on standard
charts alone.
