    I know there are a few different softwares that show you volume at each tick within each bar, sometimes even showing whether the transactions happened when it was the bid or the ask. Just looking for personal experiences/recommendations.

    I currently use IB's TWS.
     
  2. Jigsaw Trading or Market Delta but I have used none of them. If I remember well you can have a free trial with both but it's via debit / credit for Jigsaw. I'd have gone with the former since I am DOM oriented and they had the exact solutions for my problems however I finally made it without them.

    So you don't find volume histograms useful? This just seems like a deeper version of a volume profile.

    I really doubt you should look THAT deep, man... Don't see why would a usual Joe search for more complicated tools than Yahoo Finance :D

    I guess I would be interested in seeing short term support and resistance. A daily volume profile could show me where there were strong lines earlier in the day and it'd be easier to visualize how that line develops throughout the day as price action revisits it.

    Many of the platforms such as MarketDelta and SierraChart offer Bid/Offer in their bars as part of their native features.
