Jigsaw Smart Gauges

The Pace of Tape Smart Gauge comes in many styles and gives you the ability to visualize the pace of trading in a market relative to its recent historical average.

See the change in trading activity at key inflection points in the market (support & resistance levels). Helps to gauge the strength of a pullback or the chances of a market breaking out.

Depth of Market (DOM)

The DOM is where we see the interaction between passive traders (limit orders) and active traders (market orders). This is where we can visualize the trading activity. Spending time analyzing the depth-of-market will help you to understand the market flow.

• See where the trades are hitting the market
• Visualize where traders are trying to exit the market
• See where the likely location of where stop orders could be positioned
• The DOM can help you see where traders are putting in Iceberg orders and trying to front-run the market in anticipation of the market holding above a trendline
• The depth-of-market can also show the balance of trade and momentum of trade
• There is also an alert column for pre-market comments
• Integrate directly to JS Services Desktop
• See your approximate order queue position
• See your positions current trade profit and loss

Order Flow History

The Auction Vista gives a detailed view of real time and historical order flow. It is an extremely accurate market view with very few settings required.

• Large Trade Circles – our algorithm reveals areas of high volume that trade at a level over time. Time and time again, these circles can potentially pinpoint key areas such as the end of a volume blow off, iceberg orders, and possible market turning points.


• Market Depth visualization – shaded background which contains lighter areas that show us where market liquidity exists. This is not a guarantee of the market holding, but possibly a heads up that other traders are interested in that area. As the price approaches, we can possibly see front running by other trader or for the liquidity to be pulled out of the way.


• Trade Directly From The Chart – You can Manage your trades and trade directly from the chart.


• Numerous chart settings including - Depth Histogram and Flip Charts, Price Delta Chart, Cumulative Delta, Volume Delta Bars.

Jigsaw Strategy Manager

The Jigsaw Strategy Manager will allow you to define simple exit strategies to be placed when an order is filled. .

• Strategy ID - the name for this strategy (will appear in Trade window on Depth & Sales)


• Additional Orders - how to handle additional orders (after the first fill)
  Add to existing stops & targets - add new exit orders to the ones that have already been created (even if they have been moved)
  Create new stops & targets - create new stop & target orders according to the exit rules



Exit Rules

• Qty - enter a fixed quantity for the exit orders or leave blank to create exit orders for all fills
• Stop Ticks - number of ticks away from the entry price that you would like to place the stop order. Leave blank for no stop
• Stop Type - the type of stop to us
• Stop Trail - Number of ticks to Trail the stop
• Offset - Number of ticks offset for a Stop Limit Order
• Stop Volume - Limit order qty to trigger the Volume Stop
• Target Ticks - number of ticks away from the entry price you would like to place a target limit order. Leave blank for no limit
• Offset - Number of ticks offset for a Stop Limit Order
• OCO (Other Cancels Other) - Check if you want the order to be OCO. Note that we follow the FOCCA OCO rule. If the provider does not cancel other order on cancel (e.g. CQG), then Jisgaw will cancel the other order locally.



*All orders are sever side with the exception of strategies that contain Volume Stops. Volume Stops are processed by the platform and are not server side orders. Also if an OCO contains a Volume Stop, that is also processed by the platform.
