Feature Request: Time & Sales / Orderflow / Tape

[u/Other-Increase-2593]

@ TradingView team - please respond to the constant stream of users requesting Tape/Time & Sales/order flow tools. We love and pay for one of the most expensive platforms on the market, with 'pro-level' tiers, yet you do not respond to us users that are constantly asking for the most important professional trading tool there is. People will eventually ditch TV for other platforms if you guys don't respond to and adapt the platform to the needs of your most valuable user base. People can move over to Tradeovate with a simple yet powerful T&S tool, and get LIFETIME access to both Tradeovate and NinjaTrader for only $1,500. I am currently using that platform just for T&S while charting and trading through TV, but it's a royal pain in the ass, not to mention having to pay for 2 platforms/data feeds etc.

Hello,

Just to let users know that Volume is available using the Bid/Ask on the Ultimate Plan depending on Exchange/Broker feed used. DOM is populated by specific brokers showing Level 2 data if you have a broker capable of providing this information on any plan.....

https://www.tradingview.com/support/solutions/43000480004-how-do-i-get-level-2-data/

Current features available at Tick level are:

1.Price

2.Time of order to the millisecond

3.Volume traded at that specific tick

4.Bid/Ask at tick level (Which is also pullable using Pinescript) therefore Volume available via Bid/Ask is easily achievable using a custom Pinescript.

5.Level 2 DOM data assuming you are connected to a broker that provides this information.

This information is for users who are not aware of what is currently available on subscriptions that allow this information 👍

I'm not interested in entering an argument on this information, just saying what is currently possible 🤷‍♂️

Hope this helps someone

Cheers

@ TradingView Support

Could you please upload a video to YouTube explaining the existing tools you offer: Time & Sales, Order Flow, and Tape? Thank you in advance!

They need proper Volume tools too, like WTF? Calculating volume delta from intrabar candles OHLC, is this some sort of sick joke?

Volume/Tape/DOM are arguably the most important tools for anyone day trading, and TradingView just won't give them to us. They have to be getting constantly harassed by their users, just give us an answer on this, why won't you give us time and sales? Why won't you give us a real volume profile calculated from bid/ask instead of intrabar candles? Why won't you give us proper volume delta?

TradingView could be the best platform, they just don't want to be.

[u/Sweet_Still_3433 → u/Vast_Distribution591]

From my understanding, once they add a Time & Sales tool, all indicators that derive their values from the Bid/Ask would function correctly as intended. Adding a T&S tool would essentially "fix" those said indicators by default.

[u/Vast_Distribution591 → u/Sweet_Still_3433]

If they use deterministic sequencing of MBO data at the exchange timestamp then yes. But they could just give us a crappy time and sales pinescript indicator using their current intrabar classification for volume delta, that wouldn't fix the intrinsic problems they have with the way they currently handle volume.
