DOM/order book detail?
Hey, can anyone point me to a good resource (preferably for Empty4) that will display depth of market or order book detail? Also called DOM, Bully Pepperstone gives some limited DOM info, but would like to find some kind of Empty4 indicator or even a stand alone service. Thanks!

Re: DOM/order book detail?
You can use ForexConnect API of FXCM to get in depth of order quotes. It gives you OHLC in Ask side and Bid side, includes volume of each.
PRO:
+Windows/Mac/Linux/Android supported
+Flexibility with C++/.Net/VB/Java.
CON:
+All TA indicators/utility functions are not built-in.
+Array index may differ from MQL4.
+Event handling scheme is not easy for newbie
+Quotes are from a specific server that client connect to, not reflect the pool as a whole.

Re: DOM/order book detail?
Any attempt to make some sense of DOM or book details in forex is pointless.
First.. regardless from who/where or how getting the info, would never be more then 20% of the total exchange market.
Second,..Even in the event that 100% or DOM was possible to get/obtain, still the info is worthless due that all major Banks like DB, Citi, UBS, that quote and market make, run very sophisticated algorithms that create thousands or spoof orders each millisecond. This is not speculate nor move the market... it is plain an simple to be able to fill orders from "their" own Internal books.
Also, no Major Bank would post their real order book for everybody to see. That would be like playing poker with your cards open.
