1. Volumetrica Trading (VolSys & VolBook)
Installation
Go to volumetricatrading.com and install both VolSys and VolBook.
When launching VolSys:
Open Settings → Connections.
Choose dxFeed as your market data provider.
Enter your dxFeed login credentials (provided by your firm or dxFeed subscription).
Once connected, you’ll have access to CME futures (ES, NQ, CL, etc.) through dxFeed’s real-time tick data.
Usage
VolSys: Use for footprint charts, delta analysis, and volume profiles. dxFeed provides tick-level accuracy, so you can read order flow precisely.
VolBook: Displays a heatmap of the order book, showing liquidity zones, absorption, and spoofing activity in real time.
Execution: You can’t trade directly through dxFeed since it’s data-only — connect your execution feed (Rithmic or similar) for real trades.
Replay Mode: dxFeed’s historical tick data lets you simulate past sessions perfectly for trader training.
