Ironbeam Key Features

Market-By-Order (MBO) Data

Ironbeam now supports Market-By-Order (MBO) data — a major enhancement to traditional Level 2 or Depth of Market (DOM) tools.

With MBO data, you can:

• See the number of contracts at each individual price level.

• View how many orders are stacked at any given price.

• Gain insights into market sentiment and liquidity in real-time.

MBO vs. Standard Level 2:
While standard DOM shows aggregated data at each price level, MBO reveals the raw structure of orders behind the market.

Depth of Market (DOM) with MBO Slider

The Ironbeam DOM has been upgraded with a dedicated MBO slider, allowing you to:

• Toggle MBO data on or off with a single click.

• Place trades directly from the ladder interface.

• View your live orders reflected in the DOM after submission.

Chart Trading

Ironbeam includes a fully integrated chart trading interface, accessible on any device.

• Trade directly from your charts

• Use 300+ built-in indicators

• Draw, analyze, and execute from one screen

• Customize charts with your own indicators and layouts

Save and Automate Order Strategies

With the Strategies widget, you can:

• Create and save custom order types

• Set take-profit and stop-loss conditions

• Quickly launch predefined order setups
