Trade With Flow.
Not Against It.
Stop guessing direction. Read real buy and sell pressure behind every candle—the same data institutional desks use to size positions.
01
Footprint chart (advanced)
Raw, real-time order flow turned into structured visual intelligence per candle.
- Bid vs ask volume in each price cell per candle
- Delta visual: green (buyer-led) ↔ red (seller-led) with gradient by delta size
- Imbalance markers: extreme imbalance cells get a neon border
- Naked POC: highest-volume price level not yet revisited
- Config: tick grouping, grading scale, imbalance threshold—all adjustable
- Data: raw ticks from Binance WebSocket trade stream
02
CVD — cumulative volume delta
Cumulative buy vs sell volume—confirm institutional flow direction with millisecond accuracy.
- Full intra-candle delta rotation: max/min delta inside one candle for absorption/exhaustion
- Sub-second sampling—not just per tick, highest practical resolution
- Net delta volume layer: histogram under the CVD line for dual context
- Divergence: price up but CVD down warns of institutional selling
- Multi-timeframe: 1m for entry, 1h bias, 4h structure
03
VWAP — volume weighted average price
Tick-level VWAP with flexible anchoring—the institutional benchmark.
- Derived from raw ticks—not OHLC approximation
- Anchors: daily | weekly | custom anchor (date/candle)
- Multiple VWAP plots on chart simultaneously
- VWAP bands (1SD, 2SD): value area and extreme deviation zones
- Use case: enter on VWAP test with CVD confirmation; exit at 2SD extension
04
Volume bubbles
Market-order aggression—see where size is pressing the button.
- Bubbles on candles sized to market-order volume
- Threshold filter: only bubbles above a custom minimum
- Total volume mode vs delta mode
- Granular scaling curve for clearer differentiation
- Pair with footprint: bubbles for speed, footprint for depth
05
Bar stats
Quantify and compare market data as an intensity overlay per candle.
- Grade each candle vs neighbors or the full chart
- Overlay: trade count | volume | delta | relative volume
- Color grading highlights abnormal volume/trade count automatically
- Grading window: last 10 | 50 | 200 | entire chart
- Spot unusual activity fast
06
Trade counter
Separate buy vs sell execution counts—measure participation intensity.
- Dual histogram: buy count (green, top) vs sell count (red, bottom)
- Counts transactions—not volume—useful for HFT-style activity
- Sudden sell-count spike warns of bearish pressure
- Different per timeframe: 1m for scalp, 1h for swing context
90% of traders see the candle. 10% see the reason behind it.
Candlesticks show price. Order flow shows intent—who is aggressive, how much volume is trading, and which side is pressing.
Institutional traders rarely enter on pattern alone. They lean on order flow: delta divergence, volume exhaustion, and absorption at key levels.
"Footprint is an X-ray of the market. A normal candle only shows the skin."
Use cases
| Scenario | Data used | Action | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Breakout confirmation | CVD rising on breakout + large volume bubble | Long on retest after breakout | Confirm genuine breakout, not fake |
| Distribution / topping | Price up but CVD flat/down + negative delta on up candles | Reduce long / prepare short | Anticipate reversal before the drop |
| Stop hunt detection | Sudden volume spike + fast reversal + footprint imbalance | Wait for sweep to finish, trade with smart money | Entry after volatility with tight stop |
| Absorption level | High volume candle, price barely moves, small delta | Treat as strong demand/supply | Use as target or entry zone |
