How to install XTRD Bookmap Addon
Bookmap is a very convenient platform to track market trends through advanced visualization capabilities. Combined with XTRD-provided set of digital assets exchange access, powers a valuable tool to navigate these markets.
Here is a brief instruction on how to get started using XTRD data services inside Bookmap.
We assume that you already have the latest and greatest version of Bookmap downloaded and installed! If not, you always can do it from https://bookmap.com.
The XTRD Market Data Addon is available on the Bookmap Marketplace – a pretty self-explanatory service where you can find many valuable extensions.
The XTRD Storefront contains many different items that can be grouped into two categories:
- Addons
- Subscriptions
The XTRD Market Data Addon is a free-to-download component that does all the heavy work – connect, receive, and parse market data streams from multiple digital asset exchanges.
Subscriptions are the ability to receive and visualize information for a particular exchange e.g. Binance, Huobi, CEX.IO, or BitMex using Bookmap.
