4.4. Pack 4 MBO Market By Order for NinjaTrader

PACK 4 MBO

This is the first MBO Dom indicator developed for the NinjaTrader platform. It can be installed on a free NinjaTrader chart and used along with other indicators in the NT 8 platform's free or paid versions. 

MBO Dom indicators use Rithmic data level 1 to display data level 3. Yes, that is true. MBO Dom displays level 3 data, which is more granular, as illustrated below.

• Advanced filters (coming)
• Access to Data (coming) for automation/ bots/ algo creation with built-in NinjaTrader Strategy builder  

MBO - Market By Order Definition:

Definition: Market by Order (MBO) provides level 3 data as an order-based data feed, allowing users to view the individual order size, order ID, and queue position for each order. This represents the highest level of granularity possible.

MBO indicator capable of detailed visualisation of Level 3 data.  Level 3 provides more granular and detailed information than Level 2 data and indicators.

For example, Level 2 data provides only total volume for passive resting orders on the price level. At the same time, Level 3 data also includes the distribution of particular orders and their position relative to the queue execution. 

MBO Market By Order Indicator tracks granular data for each order:

• Each order volume, 
• Each contract ID number
• Order position to queue for execution
• Total limit order volume on each price line 
• Total number of contracts on each price line

Tracking genuine "Native" Icebergs without MBO Level 3 data is impossible.
