EdgeDepth vs Bookmap
Compare live liquidity heatmaps, recorded order-flow replay and the research tools around them.
When Bookmap fits
Bookmap is a fit when you need its supported broker connections, futures or equities feeds, or specific tools from its add-on ecosystem.
When EdgeDepth fits
EdgeDepth combines a live liquidity heatmap, DOM, tape, footprints and profiles with recorded tick replay in the browser. Use the terminal for order-flow analysis, then test a supported setup across the research record when you want broader evidence.
What each workflow gives you
| Decision | Bookmap | EdgeDepth |
|---|---|---|
| Analysis | Order-book heatmaps, volume dots, profiles and order-flow tools. | Live liquidity heatmap, footprint charts, TPO, volume profiles, sessions, VWAP, DOM and trade tape in the hosted browser terminal. Inspect these views in recorded replay as well. |
| Replay | Record and replay market-depth sessions. Available history depends on the data connection and recording. | Replay recorded trades and order-book updates with heatmaps, footprints and profiles. Seek through the recorded sequence in the browser. Available views depend on recorded streams and plan access. |
| Markets and execution | Supports crypto, futures and equities through its connections, with trading and add-ons. | Research covers Binance USDT-M; live coverage includes Binance USDT-M and Hyperliquid perpetuals. Live analysis and recorded replay sit alongside research; broker order execution is not provided. |
| Customization | Developer APIs and an established add-on ecosystem. | The terminal is open source and can connect to a compatible data gateway. Hosted research also exposes versioned definitions through REST and MCP; hosted data services are separate from the terminal source. |
Live order flow, recorded replay and research together
Read resting liquidity on the order-book heatmap, inspect executed volume in footprints, and use TPO, session profiles and VWAP for context. The liquidation layers add a separate view: modeled liquidation pressure is distinct from resting orders and observed liquidation prints.
Those tools support a complete visual investigation inside EdgeDepth. Research adds another step when useful: define a supported condition, count its matches and inspect what followed across the selected record. Open the terminal or test a question.
How it could fit your research
Read liquidity and aggressive trading directly in EdgeDepth, live or in recorded replay. Inspect footprints and profiles around the move, then turn a supported observation into a study. Bookmap remains an option when its particular feed, execution or add-on ecosystem is central to your workflow.
In EdgeDepth, review the exact setup, markets and dates. Read both favourable and adverse outcomes, check missing windows and inspect counterexamples. A same-scope unconditional reference includes matches and is not a matched control group. An interesting pattern is a reason for another check, not proof of profitability.
Coverage and access matter
Search can reach the full verified research record, with availability varying by measurement and market. Pro tick replay covers 90 days; Research reaches the available recorded replay history. Research history and replay coverage are different. Check coverage and current plans for your intended workflow.
EdgeDepth has live order flow, an event archive, lessons and open-source terminal tools alongside research. It does not execute trades. A monitored condition means the setup occurred again, not that an order should be placed.

Common questions
Does Bookmap already have replay? #
Yes. Bookmap records and replays market-depth sessions. The distinction here is the workflow: EdgeDepth connects a defined population study to historical examples in its hosted record, subject to coverage and access.
Can I inspect EdgeDepth before paying? #
Yes. The hosted live terminal has a free tier, and public demos let you inspect replay. The open-source terminal can run with a compatible gateway. Advanced hosted features, research allowances and replay access vary by plan; existing public reports are free to read.
