What is the data format required for NT 8 to display ORDER FLOW(Price based)

[rahul202]

Hi,
I am planning to purchase NT8 order flow+ suite.

As per the blog, TICK data required for PRICE based order flow(Auction):
Data should contain, buy / sell price , quantity and some indication whether trade was buy or sell.

But while going through trial version of some data feed provider for NT8, I saw the format to be : time , Price and Volume(specific for NT)

So , I am wondering, how NT8 will be able to display order flow(auction model) based on this format, as buy/sell price is not available neither direction in which trade was done.

Is someone using NT8 order flow(auction model not Depth of Market) for NSE(Nifty , Indian market), if so whose data feed are you using?

If possible can some one also post, sample data which NT is using to display order flow. Just 5-10 ticks with header i.e.. which one is buy /sell price or volume etc..

Thanks and Advance.

Hi rahul202, thanks for your note.

If you want to import tick data, it can be in any of the formats here:

As for a data provider that supplies data, the connection adapter will handle the data stream for you. All data by provider details are listed in this graph:

Please let me know if I can assist any further.
