Trade and Order book data now avaliable

We’ve recently added fields from “Trade book” and “Order book” to help you gain deeper insights into how they impact the price. Below is the list of new fields added:

Trade book fields:

The below fields can be accessed across all timeframes, starting from 1 minute to a yearly timeframe

    • Buyer-initiated trades – Indicates the number of trades that were executed at sellers/offer/ask price; an increasing number would indicate buyers are more aggressive than sellers.
    • Buyer-initiated trades quantity – Indicates the number of trades that were executed at sellers/ask price; an increasing quantity would indicate more number of shares are being bought at a price as requested by sellers.
    • Buyer-initiated trades average quantity – Indicates the average quantity of trades for “buyer-initiated trades.”
    • Seller-initiated trades – Indicates the number of trades executed at a buyers/bid price; an increasing number would indicate sellers are more aggressive than buyers.
    • Seller-initiated trades quantity – Indicates the number of trades executed at a buyers/bid price; an increasing quantity would indicate more shares are being sold at a price as requested by buyers.
    • Seller-initiated trades average quantity– Indicates the average quantity of trades for “seller-initiated trades.”
    • Buyer vs. Seller initiated trades ratio – A ratio of “buyer initiated trades / seller initiated trades” above 1 indicates that buyer-initiated trades are more than Seller for the given timeframe
    • Buyer vs. Seller initiated trades quantity ratio – A ratio of “buyer initiated trades quantity / seller initiated trades quantity” above 1 indicates that the buyer-initiated quantity of trades is more than the Seller for the given timeframe.
    • Buyer-initiated trades VWAP – Volume weighted average price (VWAP) of trades that buyers initiated.
    • Seller-initiated trades VWAP– Volume weighted average price (VWAP) of trades that sellers initiated.

These fields can be used to evaluate trades for intraday, short or long-term, as they are available across all timeframes. There has been limited research on these fields, as their availability is limited, considering the amount of data that needs to be processed for these. Here’s one interesting research paper on this.

Order book fields:

The below fields can be accessed across all timeframes, starting from 1 minute to a yearly timeframe

    • Orders – Indicates the orders received for the specified timeframe, e.g., total orders within a minute
    • Orders Quantity – Indicates the number of orders received for the specified timeframe, e.g., total order quantity within a minute.
    • Buy Orders – Indicates the “Buy orders” received for the specified timeframe.
    • Buy Orders Quantity – Indicates the “Buy order” quantity received for the specified timeframe.
    • Sell Orders – Indicates the “Sell orders” received for the specified timeframe.
    • Sell Orders Quantity – Indicates the “Sell order” quantity received for the specified timeframe.
    • Buy vs. Sell orders ratio – A ratio of “Buy orders / Sell orders” above 1, indicating buy orders are more than sell orders.  
    • Buy vs. Sell quantity ratio – A ratio of “Buy orders quantity / Sell orders quantity” above 1, indicating buy order quantities are more than sell order quantity.
    • Canceled Buy Orders – Indicates the total orders canceled in the specified timeframe.
    • Canceled Buy Orders Quantity – Indicates total buy orders quantity canceled in the specified timeframe.
    • Canceled Sell Orders – Indicates the total  sell orders canceled in the specified timeframe
    • Cancelled Sell Orders Quantity – Indicates the total  sell orders  quantity canceled in the specified timeframe
    • Total Cancelled orders – Indicates the total orders canceled in the specified timeframe
    • Total Cancelled orders quantity – Indicates the total order quantity canceled in the specified timeframe
    • Canceled orders ratio – A ratio of “Cancelled orders / Orders” gives an idea of the pie of orders being canceled from the ones received
    • Canceled orders quantity ratio – A ratio of “Cancelled orders quantity / Orders quantity” gives an idea of the pie of orders quantity being canceled from the ones received
    • Buy Orders Vwap – Volume weighted average price (VWAP) of buy orders.
    • Sell Orders Vwap – Volume weighted average price (VWAP) of sell orders.
    • Orders Vwap – Volume weighted average price (VWAP) of all orders.

The order numbers indicated above are the actual orders(not disclosed) for the cash market & hence the values will not match with the market depth seen within your broker’s terminals, which helps get a much clearer picture of how this is driving the price of a stock.

These new fields can be combined with existing functions, e.g., SMA, Min, Max, Count and so on.. to derive onto more complex indicators.

Sample dashboards

While we are working on adding more scans & dashboards for the same, I wanted you to be updated on adding these new fields. HI hope these are useful for gaining more insights along with the existing fields of technical analysis.

    2. Data for 3 days, between March 30 and 1 April are showing up as zero. This is skewing the graph plots on Atlas Dashboards. Can it be corrected?

  7. Thank you so so much brother, loving how you are creating a level playing field for us retail traders. now its much much obvious to prefer chartink over any other scanner, loved it!

    1. Yes, we can create a column for display on Atlas dashboards.

      Note, the results will not exactly match with your brokers terminal of market depth, the reason being,
      Brokers market depth shows only the disclosed quantity, meaning, the quantity that you see could be actually less than the real quantity
      Brokers market depth shows the active order(i.e total orders received – total orders traded), we on the other hand, show the actual number of orders received for a given timeframe, eg: Day, week, 5 minute and so on..

  17. how do i see a particular stock – buyer vs seller initiated quantity data – rather running a scanner – i am facing issues as i have to go here https://chartink.com/dashboard/47703 then select industry & i am unable to see the past week or montly data. Also please add cumulative buyer vs seller data.

    Thanks.

  18. I have 5 questions – Requesting your kind response.

    1. Buyer initiated trades – do these reflect buy market orders?
    2. Seller initiated trades – Do these reflect sell market orders?

    3. I was observing graph of this data intraday and noticed that the price had significant jump when both ‘Buyer initiated trades’ and ‘Seller initiated trades’ spiked up. Based on the definition, I would expect the price to rise due to rise in ‘Buyer initiated trades’ while ‘Seller initiated trades’ are at normal levels.. indicating bullishness. Could you please explain

    4. Does Buyer initiated trades include only the trades executed in the Ask column? I need to understand this because your definition used the word ‘Aggressive’ and not every order fulfilled in ASK is necessarily aggressive.
    Below trades are executed in ASK Colum –
    Buy Market – Aggressive buying moves price up
    Buy Stop Market – Short covering hence may not provide aggressiveness as they are exiting the
    stock.
    Sell Limit – Not aggressive .. limit sell orders
    Sell Stop Limit – Not aggressive..

    5. Which indicator shows aggressive buying and which shows aggressive selling. Here aggressive means market orders being executed consuming liquidity and moving the price up.

    1. We are noticing an issue with NSE Trade & Order book data for 12th Sep’22 from the exchange, we’ve started receiving the data today. However, we’ll restore the values for yesterday once we get them from the exchange.

    1. Hello,

      You can view this information on our Atlas dashboard. We can achieve this by “total buyer + seller-initiated trade data”. Please note that this would miss IOC trades.

      Orders like IOC(Immediate or Cancelled orders) & Stop Loss orders are not tracked in the “order book”, which causes the values to be slightly off. This is something that the exchange does not maintain.
      “Trade book” and “Order book” derive information from the exchange’s actual trade and order book. They are calculated in real-time and available across all timeframes; please visit for details on these fields

      https://chartink.com/articles/scanner/trade-and-order-book-data-now-avaliable/.

      Also, please note that it’s impossible to get the actual number of pending orders as IOC orders are not tracked; the values you see on nseindia.com and your broker’s depth contain a lot of noise & don’t indicate the actual picture.

  27. Hi, If I have to build a screener to calculate a drop in OI in FnO for the last week on a daily time frame, will the drop in Orders in a daily TF help me.

    Please help in throwing some light on to build this screener.

    Reply

    1. Hello,

      Please note we do not have the OI feature, and we currently support only NSE cash stocks and indices; we have created a segment group named ‘futures’ to scan stocks traded in the F&O group. If you select futures, scanning will be done based on cash stock prices/ values.

  30. Hi chartink support,
    thanks for adding these fields from order book and trade book. How can i select and plot them on the chart, that way it will be more helpful.

    1. Hello,

      As of now we are working on improving our charts. We don’t want to rush things with the ‘FUTURE’ segment, and give you results based on the incorrect data. So, this might take some time. We hope you understand.

  32. Hi Chartink,

    From the order and trade data as elaborated, I perceive that ‘Buy Orders’ = total number of buy orders received in given timeframe
    and ‘Buy Orders Qty’ = total quantity of stock ordered via total number of buy orders in given timeframe…
    Am I right?
    If I am right then, executed Buy Order Qty should be = Buy Order Qty – Cancelled Buy Order Qty in daily time frame.

    And If I am right again, then in the DAILY timeframe, the total number of [‘Buy Order Qty’ – ‘Cancelled Buy Order Qty’] should be = [‘Sell Order Qty’ – ‘Cancelled Sell Order Qty’]
    I am asserting the above statement based on the premise that Executed Buy Order should be equal to Executed Sell Order Qty in the daily time frame.

    However, I don’t see that
    [‘Buy Order Qty’ – ‘Cancelled Buy Order Qty’] = [‘Sell Order Qty’ – ‘Cancelled Sell Order Qty’]
    in the daily time frame.

    Can you please explain, I am confused.

    1. Hello,
      We have Webhooks for API that you can use to trigger events in your system, https://chartink.com/articles/alerts/webhook-support-for-alerts/.

      Note that automating trades with webhooks requires some programming logic to incorporate our webhooks within your application, which already uses APIs from the stockbrokers to place orders. Your system/application must be deployed on the internet and reachable by a domain or an IP address; this requires your application to support the ability to receive incoming POST requests to receive our JSON data for the alert.

      We recommend using a service like RequestBin to test the webhooks feature; it allows you to create an endpoint, adding in our “webhook URL” field within the alert form. Alerts will make an HTTP POST request to the URL you have specified along with the data corresponding to the alert.

      Also, I’ve come across two open-source projects on Github to auto this workflow:

      https://github.com/bogadib/chartink_kite_amo_mean_reversion
      https://github.com/sumit12dec/algoconvention

      I hope this helps.
