Heatmap from Bookmap compared to NEW HEATMAP

The old heatmap from Bookmap.com looks pretty nice until it is seriously tested and challenged by the NEW HEATMAP developed over the past few months. After years of using it and learning the app, we found deficiencies of old heatmap that every trader must know. 

NinjaTrader users now get faster and better Heatmap charts compared to the Heatmap from Bookmap. What makes the Bookmap heatmap in NinjaTrader unpleasant to use?  Here are a few key points:

• Old heatmap from Bookmap is slow and lags on high-volatility charts at Market Open. It gets frozen and skips the chart rendering that becomes visible on the chart. 
• Old heatmap from Bookmap does not accurately display the heatmap and provides false information in the chart at the aggregation and price combination when data is summarised to show only a few price levels. 
• The old Bookmap's heatmap is cluttered.  The charts in ES and MES are always clattering with bots and algos that are hard or impossible to remove. It is hard to trade when a heatmap is cluttered.
