Bookmap Reviews 596

Looks fancy, but expensive.
Add-ons are far too expensive!
PROBLEM: Add-ons, extended features ARE NOT possible to test for beginners even with delayed, to get used to it, to learn it properly, THEN to purchase with conviction!

Others are also having the same features:
Optimus Flow / Volfix
MotiveWave
ATAS
Jigsaw Trading
Sierra Chart
Quantower
NinjaTrader

Bookmap is like having a car with a translucent hood/bonnet, your able to see the engine and the inner workings of your car while you drive but it won't make you a better driver.

Bookmap just shows you where orders are resting on a heatmap, none of these levels act as support and resistance. When your coming up to a price level with loads of orders resting there, majority of the time people pull their orders from the book as price reaches these levels, so it's constantly changing.

"Oh coming up to a level with 500 contracts sitting there, no way this breaks I'm looking for the bounce". People pull their orders and it breaks straight through. Or it breaks straight through anyway. It's a complete guessing game and I think alot of these platforms are designed to look amazing, the next best thing.

My experience using book map, long story short. Started a eval account for funded, passed that, then got my funded account up to +£2000, so all in all with my eval target I made about +£5000. Decided to get bookmap because I thought it would help my strategy make more money. I went negative --£6000 while using bookmap . Do not rely on this for your trading, my strategy that was working wen straight out the window .
With book map your better of just flipping a coin .

I got the subscription for Bookmap over a month ago and joined Tom B's group (TraderLab). I am still learning how to trade using auction theory and volume profile but this beats everything I have used before. I still sometime use other things but only if they align with what I see in bookmap (All that Tom teaches). Tom B is great! Always there to answer any questions. It's a bunch of great traders with tons of experience and very helpful. I know if I put in the work and study Tom's teachings, my trading will only go up from here. Thanks guys!

My time with Bookmap and Trader Lab with Tom B has been fantastic, I have learnt a lot and got a lot of value from the Bookmap tool.

My experience as a hedge fund manager never taught me the proper way to trade futures on an intra day basis. Tom B's T-Lab is unlike anything else I have seen in the space. Tom gives you a pole and teaches you to fish. Seriously impressive but you have to work hard and your fellow lab mates will push you to become the best you can be.

Love Tom and the Trader Lab. It has helped me as a trader grow in leaps and bounds over the past 2 years I have been a part of Bookmap and Trader Lab. Tom does everything he can to help with your learning. Highly recommend Tlab. Debby B

For indecies future I find out it's mostly a guess work since most of the moves are made based on stock prices, Good for commodity futures. Stock only show orders from Nasdaq and not other major exchanges like NYSE and ARCA, so that's a like 25-30% public order book. Helpful but not that good to pay for same data multiple times to broker, tradingview and than Bookmap.

Bookmap is a great tool for traders but what makes it special is Tom B and his TLab. In this business you need two things: patience and a mentor, and I am truly grateful to find Tom B.

Great tool to trade for day trading makes it easier to see

Bookmap is an exceptional program, but what makes me especially eager to support them is their willingness to invest in education. What if I told you that you could cut through all the wrong information out there and sit at a trading desk with a proven, successful trader every day? How much would you be willing to pay? What if I told you it exists right now and is totally free?

I've had Bookmap for a couple of years (first in thinkorswim) and it's been wonderful. I've lurked in the Traders Lab with Tom B. YouTube and discord channels for nearly that amount of time. Being a total novice, I watched at first and I barely understood what was going on. I liked the idea that Tom presented that you aren't going to have an ATM in the basement without a massive amount of work off-hours. This was the first piece of “harsh truth" I'd ever heard from a trading webinar and I was hooked on the realness of it. I'd say I'm a slow learner, but over the months I began to put some of the T-Lab concepts together in my head. Things that previously didn't have any significance to me started unlocking wonderful possibilities once I began to understand the dynamics of the market.

Even with this knowledge, that's not to say trading is easy. Tom also goes over the mental hurdles that truly define who we are as traders. My personal hurdle is overcoming the urge over trade and gamble. If I can keep it small, I have found modest success. People in the discord also share their success and failure and I'm truly grateful to all of them.

As a final thought, I sometimes think about the generosity of spirit that Tom possesses and it overwhelms and humbles me to my core. He is sharing a playbook that he's put together through blood, sweat, and tears over 45 years of trading. He gives it to us, complete strangers, for free. This week he's on vacation streaming from Costa Rica. He never, ever misses a day. If you want to be in the business of trading, you owe it to yourself to invest in the very profound truths that Tom shares in the Bookmap discord.

I have only recently signed on to BM discord. I do not at time have a subscription to the platform. It is clear in my exploring this platform, a 'immense' amount of time, knowledge and experience went into it's development. I have been participating in Trader Lab-Tom B. for a few weeks, and Tom's experience, knowledge, and education is given freely and with 'heart'. I have a lot of similar history and experience as Tom and it has been his way to educate others, regardless of their current status, in a manner that does not create shame, blame or invalidation! Nor does he 'blow smoke up the cosmic black holes'. His very grounded mentoring brings a 'learning environment' to the group which who also support each other.
My personal wish is that BM management would find a way to offer their platform and data at a lower cost, while a student is in the learning mode. So as long as they are in 'sim' learning their cost is around $75 a mo. When either they step up to either a funded account or a personal live account then the cost of operating would be increased. I would tell anyone to join Tom B. in his trading lab with the group. Most Excellent!

Bookmap is not only a great, even maybe a best, orderflow tool. Muchmore bookmap provides a highquality education in their discord. Especialy T-LAB by Tom B. is a "have to visit" for every trader, who is really interested in learning and deep understanding of orderflow, volume and marketmechanics.

On top of an incredibly well designed platform, Bookmap offers excellent trading education, both Bruce and TomB (Traderlab) has been absolutely incredible. It's shocking that they provide such education for free. Traderlab have given me a fresh perspective of reading the market. Join if you're interested in building a career in trading, there's a community of serious and passionate traders here to help you.

It is a best tool for stocks and futures trading , shows where the liquidity , buying and selling

Bookmap has been an important part of my trading success. It provides order flow insight that is key to making trade decisions.

Bookmap had been the best tool that I've used for trading. T-Lab and the Bookmap discord has a wealth of knowledge and experience to allow traders to find what fits their style to become long term successful traders.

Bookmap is a valuable order flow tool and Tom B. is a very knowledgeable teacher of auction market mechanics, highly recommended.

Great product with an amazing community and support..

Simply Great, especially the T-Lab. Bookmap is a usefull tool with many nice features, but it won't make you profitable at its own if you don't put the work in. Don't treat this platform as the holy grail, but instead use it to your advantage to get ahead of other retail traders.
