Book Map

The futures trading industry has witnessed a dramatic transformation over the past two decades, driven largely by advancements in trading technology. Among the most groundbreaking innovations is Book Map, a dynamic and visually-driven platform that has redefined how traders engage with order flow, liquidity, and market depth. Since its inception, Book Map has evolved from a specialized tool used by high-frequency traders and algorithmic firms into a mainstream platform embraced by retail traders and professionals alike.

This article explores the evolution of the Book Map futures trading platform, its standout features compared to other platforms, and how Cannon Trading Company, widely regarded as a best futures broker with stellar TrustPilot reviews, complements Book Map to provide unmatched support for traders at all levels.

The Origins and Early Evolution of Book Map

Book Map was initially developed to address a key challenge faced by professional futures traders: visualizing the true dynamics of market liquidity. Traditional futures trading platforms offered Level 2 quotes and DOM (Depth of Market) tools, but these static interfaces failed to provide a full picture of liquidity behavior over time.

Book Map changed that by introducing a heatmap-based visualization that allowed traders to see liquidity evolve in real time, offering insights that were previously invisible. Early adopters, primarily institutional traders, leveraged these capabilities for trading futures strategies that depended on order flow and market microstructure. The platform soon gained traction for its ability to provide:

  • Historical depth-of-market replays
  • Real-time order book heatmaps
  • Precise volume dots for trade activity
  • Millisecond-level updates

Over time, Book Map trading became synonymous with cutting-edge order flow analysis. The platform continuously iterated based on user feedback, adding support for more data feeds, enhanced replay functionality, and customizable indicators.

Key Milestones in Book Map’s Development

Book Map’s trajectory has included several important updates that expanded its functionality and audience:

  1. Multi-Asset Support
    Originally focused on futures contract trading, Book Map eventually expanded to support equities and cryptocurrencies. This allowed traders who employed cross-asset strategies to use a single interface for different markets while still benefiting from Book Map’s unique visualizations.
  2. Third-Party Add-Ons and Marketplace
    Book Map introduced a marketplace for third-party developers to offer custom indicators, automated strategies, and analytics. This modularity opened the door for customized Book Map trading strategies tailored to individual risk tolerances and trading styles.
  3. Scripting API and Automation
    With its scripting environment and API access, Book Map now caters to algorithmic and semi-automated trading approaches. Traders can backtest and forward-test their logic directly on the visual framework, bridging the gap between manual and algorithmic futures trading.
  4. Connectivity with Top Brokers and Data Feeds
    Book Map has formed integrations with the industry’s leading data feeds and brokers. Its compatibility with low-latency feeds such as Rithmic and CQG has made it especially powerful for futures contract trading, where execution speed and data accuracy are crucial.

Unique Features That Set Book Map Apart

Despite the proliferation of advanced platforms in today’s markets, Book Map maintains a distinctive edge due to its innovative approach to visualizing market data. The following features are central to its popularity and effectiveness:

  1. Heatmap Visualization
    The Book Map heatmap shows where liquidity has been added or removed over time. Warmer colors indicate thicker order book levels, while cooler colors show thinner liquidity. This continuous visual feedback allows traders to identify spoofing, iceberg orders, and absorption—concepts critical to futures trading strategies.
  2. Volume Bubbles and Trade Dots
    As trades occur, Book Map plots volume dots or bubbles on the price axis. These are color-coded and sized based on the aggressiveness and size of the order. This allows traders to see in real-time how passive and aggressive participants are interacting with the market.
  3. Market Replay
    With millisecond precision, Book Map offers full market replay functionality. Traders can go back in time to analyze market behavior around key events and simulate Book Map trading decisions as if the session were unfolding live.
  4. Custom Indicators and Algorithmic Tools
    The platform includes support for proprietary indicators such as:
    • Stop & Iceberg Detection
    • Absorption Indicator
    • Correlation Tracker

    These tools help traders develop nuanced strategies for trading futures, based on both price action and order flow dynamics.

  5. Impeccable Data Precision
    Unlike platforms that rely on summarized or delayed market data, Book Map connects directly to low-latency feeds like Rithmic and CQG, enabling traders to receive tick-by-tick data for ultra-precise futures contract trading.

How Book Map Empowers Futures Traders of All Skill Levels

One of Book Map’s most important contributions to the trading world is democratizing advanced tools that were once only available to institutional traders. Today, even novice users can benefit from insights previously reserved for hedge funds and prop desks.

  • New traders benefit from the platform’s visual learning curve. Instead of interpreting static DOM numbers, they can see market movement and liquidity changes.
  • Intermediate traders use Book Map to refine entries and exits, especially when combining the heatmap with volume-based strategies.
  • Advanced users implement automation, custom scripts, and statistical models directly into the platform.

No matter the user level, Book Map trading adds a dimension of clarity and speed that enhances decision-making in fast-paced markets.

IMPORTANT RISK DISCLOSURE

Futures trading is complex and carries the risk of substantial losses. It is not suitable for all investors. The ability to withstand losses and to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can adversely affect investor returns.

The returns for trading systems listed throughout this website are hypothetical in that they represent returns in a model account. The model account rises or falls by the average single contract profit and loss achieved by clients trading actual money pursuant to the listed system’s trading signals on the appropriate dates (client fills), or if no actual client profit or loss available – by the hypothetical single contract profit and loss of trades generated by the system’s trading signals on that day in real time (real-time) less slippage, or if no real time profit or loss available – by the hypothetical single contract profit and loss of trades generated by running the system logic backwards on backadjusted data (backadjusted).

Stock Index Futures, September Coffee, Levels & Reports; Your 3 Important Need-To-Knows for Trading Futures on July 11th, 2025

There is life after Mini SP 500…

By Ilan Levy-Mayer, VP

stock index futures

Tomorrow being Friday with lighter economic reports, it’s a good opportunity to assess broader futures market dynamics. Recent dips in trading volume on stock index futures signal a need for diversification.

Exploring contracts like crude oil and treasury bonds can open new avenues for strategic positioning, particularly in shifting volatility environments. Keeping a pulse on these alternative instruments could enhance flexibility and capitalize on unique setups.

Stock index futures have been trading very choppy. Might be time to explore markets like gold, crude oil, bonds and more. Use a simulator account and follow price action.

Although there is light economic news today for equity traders for all grain participants, the once monthly WASDE report from the USDA will be issued @ 11:00 a.m. CT

September Coffee

September coffee satisfied its third downside PriceCount objective recently and is showing stability for the moment. At this point, IF the chart can resume its break into new sustained lows, we are left with the low percentage fourth objective to aim for in the 149.55 which would be consistent with a test of the contract low.

Metal, Bitcoin, September Copper; Your 3 Important Need-To-Knows for Trading Futures on July 10th, 2025

Posted on by Cannon Operations

9dc1e02e d5f7 4ff4 abf7 1df60775f196

Metals & Bitcoin Dominate

metal

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

Metals:

August gold futures traded on both side of $3,300 per ounce today as investors continue to watch the evolving U.S. tariff policy with optimism grew that trade deals between U.S. and its trading partners would continue to weighed on safe-haven flows.

Copper futures fell on COMEX today as traders and investors continued to sift through President Trump’s latest tariff threats. Yesterday, President Trump announced a surprisingly large 50% tariff on copper that could kick in by Aug. 1 or sooner prompting the front-month September copper futures contract to rise ± 50 cents per pound / ±10% – a ±$12,500 per contract move – to an all-time high near $5.50/pound yesterday. Today, the contract eased down ±15 cents/±2.5%.

Crypto:

The three-year pattern of midyear volume dips for Bitcoin futures continues as June marks a sharp month-over-month decline. Total Bitcoin futures volume for the month of June recorded a ±20% month-over-month decline.

For context, over the first five months of 2025, Bitcoin futures volume averaged $1.93 trillion per month. This puts June’s figure roughly 20% below the year-to-date monthly average with just ±$1.55 trillion in total Bitcoin futures volume this month. Even so, July Bitcoin futures closed above 112,000 and within striking range of its May 22 all time high close of 112,905.

September Copper

September copper accelerated its rally into a new contract high where the chart satisfied its third upside PriceCount objective. It would be normal to see a near term reaction from this level in the form of a consolidation or corrective trade, at least. At this point, IF you could sustain another leg to the topside, the low percentage fourth count projects a possible run to the 7.22 area.

This shouldn’t have been too much of a surprise for those paying attention back in February, President Trump signed an executive order on Feb. 25, 2025, directing the secretary of commerce to initiate a Section 232 investigation into whether copper imports into the U.S. threaten to impair national security.

This investigation will assess the national security risks related to imported copper in all its forms, including raw mined copper, copper concentrates, refined copper, copper alloys, scrap copper, and derivative products.

Within 270 days the secretary of commerce will submit a report to the president with findings and recommendations on actions to mitigate any threats, including potential tariffs, export controls, or incentives to increase domestic production.

If you would like to know more about the High Grade Copper contracts please call your broker. Of note! Today the Micro High Grade Copper contract traded over 47 thousand contracts while the full size 25000lb contract traded over 99 thousand. The overnight margin coming into today was $9900 for the Full size and $605 for the micro, soon to increase.

Commodities Face Pivotal Tariff Week Post 4th of July

commodities

Commodities, Tariffs on the AG & Energy Markets

Description: Arlan Suderman, Chief Commodities Economist at StoneX, breaks down the post-holiday movements in the AG & Energy markets. This week’s key drivers include:

  • Crude oil volatility following OPEC’s surprise output announcement.
  • Heavy losses in corn, soybeans, and wheat tied to favorable U.S. weather.

Sept. Kansas City Wheat

September KC wheat is testing the contract lows established in May. If this support level doesn’t hold, new sustained lows would project a slide to the second downside PriceCount objective to the $5.02 area.

The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an ‘exact’ science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved.

It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend. Best utilized in conjunction with other technical tools, PriceCounts offer one more way to analyze charts and help to manage your positions and risk.

NFP, 4th of July Trading Hours, Stock Market Stats; Your 3 Important Need-To-Knows for Trading Futures on July 3rd, 2025

NFP Tomorrow + 4th of July Friday

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

nfp

NFP is tomorrow rather than the usual Friday release!

Stock index futures will close early tomorrow at 12:15 Central time

Take care that the markets are in “holiday mode,” meaning trade participation and thus liquidity can decrease into the Independence Day holiday on Friday. This is more relevant than usual in that it comes along with the early release of this month’s employment report.

NFP

U.S. June Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) data will be released tomorrow morning at 7:30 A.M., Central Time, a day earlier that its typical first-Friday-of-the-month release.

Economists are forecasting non-farm payrolls to come in at +110,000 compared to the previous month’s +139,000. The June jobless rate is expected at 4.3%, up +0.1% compared to the previous month. Average hourly earnings are expected up +0.3% month over month. On top of that, weekly Jobless Claims will be released simultaneously.

Please see the schedule below for trading hours tomorrow and Friday. Note that trading hours will be abbreviated tomorrow and Friday.

Found some stock market stats: per data from the St. Louis Federal Reserve, the wealthiest Americans control a majority of shares. The top 1% own half of all corporate equities and mutual funds in the U.S. When factoring in the top 10% of Americans by wealth, ownership of the group rises to close to 90% of all stock market holdings.

This number has not changed meaningfully over time, with the percentage oscillating between 80% and 90% in data that goes back to the end of the 1980’s.

What Sets the CQG Platform Apart?

At the heart of the CQG Platform is its role as a trading technology provider—not a brokerage. It delivers cutting-edge infrastructure that brokers use to provide clients with secure, low-latency access to futures exchanges. With roots going back over 40 years, CQG has earned its reputation for excellence by offering fast, reliable, and highly accurate data through its industry-leading cqg data feed.

Through interfaces like CQG Desktop, CQG Trader, and CQG Mobile, CQG connects users to a seamless trading environment where analysis, execution, and account management converge. These tools empower traders across experience levels to engage confidently in the fast-moving world of futures.

CQG Desktop: Advanced Trading in a Browser

CQG Desktop is a powerful, browser-based application designed for traders who demand high-end features without needing a heavy install. Many users look for cqg desktop download options, but the beauty of this platform is that it’s fully cloud-based—no bulky software needed. Accessible through any modern web browser, CQG Desktop offers a comprehensive interface with:

  • Real-time charting and analytics
  • Advanced order entry tools like the Hybrid Order Ticket
  • Integrated news feeds and customizable layouts
  • Built-in account monitoring with real-time updates

The cqg desktop demo is perfect for new users exploring the platform’s capabilities in a simulated environment. It provides full access to tools powered by the same high-speed cqg data feed, making it a great entry point before committing real capital.

For professionals who value access from any device, CQG Desktop provides one of the most robust solutions among today’s online futures trading platform options.

CQG Trader: Simplicity Meets Speed

While CQG Desktop focuses on comprehensive analysis and flexibility, CQG Trader is all about speed and simplicity. This lightweight application is perfect for traders who want to focus exclusively on execution.

Key features of cqg trader include:

  • DOMTrader ladder for depth-of-market insights
  • Quick order placement via a simplified Hybrid Order Ticket
  • Quote boards for market overview
  • Real-time updates on account balances, fills, and positions

Many traders use cqg trader as their primary execution interface, especially if they already rely on third-party charting tools. It offers one of the fastest order execution environments available on a futures trading platform, with minimal resource requirements.

CQG Mobile: Trading Without Limits

In an increasingly mobile world, having access to markets on the go is crucial. CQG Mobile delivers the same reliability and real-time connectivity as other CQG tools, but optimized for iOS and Android devices. This app puts the power of the CQG Platform right in your pocket.

With cqg mobile, users get:

  • Streaming quotes and interactive charts
  • Full order management and account access

CQG Desktop Demo: Practice Before You Go Live

The cqg desktop demo is one of the most important tools for both new and experienced traders. This paper-trading environment mimics live market conditions without financial risk. You can explore the full capabilities of CQG Desktop and test strategies in real time.

Understanding the CQG Data Feed

Traders rely on accurate and fast data. The cqg data feed is recognized as one of the most robust and reliable in the industry. It supports:

  • Real-time market data for futures, options, forex, and more
  • Consolidated views across global exchanges
  • Co-located servers near exchange engines to minimize latency
  • Historical data for research and backtesting

From CQG Desktop to CQG Mobile, the data is fast, clean, and synchronized. This is a key differentiator of the CQG Platform and one of the main reasons professionals choose it for critical decision-making.

Seamless CQG Login Experience

No matter which platform you use, the cqg login experience is unified and efficient. Whether you’re using CQG Desktop, CQG Trader, or CQG Mobile, your single login grants access across all CQG services.

  • One cqg login across all platforms
  • Secure access with two-factor and biometric authentication
  • Real-time sync of orders, positions, and balances

Thanks to CQG’s cloud-based structure, switching between devices is nearly instantaneous. This unified cqg login model enhances convenience while maintaining security and data consistency across the board.

Getting Started with the CQG Desktop Download

Though many traders refer to a cqg desktop download, what they usually mean is gaining access to the web-based CQG platform. CQG Desktop runs on HTML5, meaning no installation is required—just log in and go. However, some users may prefer a launcher or shortcut version, which brokers like Cannon Trading provide.

Steps to get started:

  1. Sign up with Cannon Trading and request a cqg desktop demo
