Volume Delta Candles HTF [TradingFinder] LTF Volume Candles 🔵 Introduction
In financial markets, understanding the concepts of supply and demand and their impact on price movements is of paramount importance. Supply and demand, as fundamental pillars of economics, reflect the interaction between buyers and sellers.
When buyers' strength surpasses that of sellers, demand increases, and prices tend to rise. Conversely, when sellers dominate buyers, supply overtakes demand, causing prices to drop. These interactions play a crucial role in determining market trends, price reversal points, and trading decisions.
Volume Delta Candles offer traders a practical way to visualize trading activity within each candlestick. By integrating data from lower timeframes or live market feeds, these candles eliminate the need for standalone volume indicators.
They present the proportions of buying and selling volume as intuitive colored bars, making it easier to interpret market dynamics at a glance. Additionally, they encapsulate critical metrics like peak delta, lowest delta, and net delta, allowing traders to grasp the market's internal order flow with greater precision.
In financial markets, grasping the interplay between supply and demand and its influence on price movements is crucial for successful trading. These fundamental economic forces reflect the ongoing balance between buyers and sellers in the market.
When buyers exert greater strength than sellers, demand dominates, driving prices upward. Conversely, when sellers take control, supply surpasses demand, and prices decline. Understanding these dynamics is essential for identifying market trends, pinpointing reversal points, and making informed trading decisions.
Volume Delta Candles provide an innovative method for evaluating trading activity within individual candlesticks, offering a simplified view without relying on separate volume indicators. By leveraging lower timeframe or real-time data, this tool visualizes the distribution of buying and selling volumes within a candle through color-coded bars.
This visual representation enables traders to quickly assess market sentiment and understand the forces driving price action. Buyer and seller strength is a critical concept that focuses on the ratio of buying to selling volumes. This ratio not only provides insights into the market's current state but also serves as a leading indicator for detecting potential shifts in trends.
Traders often rely on volume analysis to identify significant supply and demand zones, guiding their entry and exit strategies. Delta Candles translate these complex metrics, such as Maximum Delta, Minimum Delta, and Final Delta, into an easy-to-read visual format using Japanese candlestick structures, making them an invaluable resource for analyzing order flows and market momentum.
By merging the principles of supply and demand with comprehensive volume analysis, tools like the indicator introduced here offer unparalleled clarity into market behavior. This indicator calculates the relative strength of supply and demand for each candlestick by analyzing the ratio of buyers to sellers.
🔵 How to Use
The presented indicator is a powerful tool for analyzing supply and demand strength in financial markets. It helps traders identify the strengths and weaknesses of buyers and sellers and utilize this information for better decision-making.
🟣 Analyzing the Highest Volume Trades on Candles
A unique feature of this indicator is the visualization of price levels with the highest trade volume for each candlestick. These levels are marked as black lines on the candles, indicating prices where most trades occurred. This information is invaluable for identifying key supply and demand zones, which often act as support or resistance levels.
🟣 Trend Confirmation
The indicator enables traders to confirm bullish or bearish trends by observing changes in buyer and seller strength. When buyer strength increases and demand surpasses supply, the likelihood of a bullish trend continuation grows. Conversely, decreasing buyer strength and increasing seller strength may signal a potential bearish trend reversal.
🟣 Adjusting Timeframes and Calculation Methods
Users can customize the indicator's candlestick timeframe to align with their trading strategy. Additionally, they can switch between moving average and current candle modes to achieve more precise market analysis.
This indicator, with its accurate and visual data display, is a practical and reliable tool for market analysts and traders. Using it can help traders make better decisions and identify optimal entry and exit points.
🔵 Settings
Lower Time Frame Volume : This setting determines which timeframe the indicator should use to identify the price levels with the highest trade volume. These levels, displayed as black lines on the candlesticks, indicate prices where the most trades occurred.
It is recommended that users align this timeframe with their primary chart’s timeframe.
As a general rule :
If the main chart’s timeframe is low (e.g., 1-minute or 5-minute), it is better to keep this setting at a similarly low timeframe.
As the main chart’s timeframe increases (e.g., daily or weekly), it is advisable to set this parameter to a higher timeframe for more aligned data analysis.
Cumulative Mode :
Current Candle : Strength is calculated only for the current candlestick.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average) : The strength is calculated using an exponential moving average, suitable for identifying longer-term trends.
Calculation Period : The default period for the exponential moving average (EMA) is set to 21. Users can modify this value for more precise analysis based on their specific requirements.
Ultra Data : This option enables users to view more detailed data from various market sources, such as Forex, Crypto, or Stocks. When activated, the indicator aggregates and displays volume data from multiple sources.

Footprint Chart + Volume ProfileFootprint charts provide volume information to candlestick charts. This indicator specifically provides the quantity of Market Orders executed on each side of the Order Book, thereby showing you the number of contracts that had hit the bid or the offer - and it does so on each bar.
In addition, it visualises a Volume Profile for each bar, providing you an even better visualisation, contrasted to that which renders the numbers alone.
This Footprint Chart calculates executed orders by getting the change in volume for every price move and pooling them on their corresponding "tick bucket". Their specific "tick bucket" is calculated on the nearest "tick", the size of which you will provide by setting the "Tick Size/ Increment" to whichever tick size you need .
For instance, volume changes on a price of 10.4 on a 1 tick Footprint Chart will be recorded as part of the nearest whole number(10), while on a 3 tick Footprint Chart, it will be recorded as part of 9 as it is the nearest multiple of 3.
Calculating the "tick bucket" this way is most conservative, however, if you would like it calculated differently — Having the volume changes recorded on the succeeding tick, e.g. Recording 10.4 as 12 on a 3 tick Footprint Chart. Simply set the "Tick Basket Assignment" to "Next Tick", While setting the same to "Previous Tick" records volume changes on the preceding tick. Default is "Nearest Tick".
How to read the Footprint Chart?
This Footprint Chart depicts a portion of the Depth of Market, arranged in such a way that the left side represents the bid, while the right side represents the ask. It is therefore natural that orders hitting the bid (Market Sells) are to be placed on the Left Side of the chart while orders hitting the ask (Market Buys) are to be placed on the Right Side. This way, you can visualise how the current price came to be, as well as observe with the several order flow analysis concepts and ideas you can apply. In summary, numbers on the Left represents Sell Orders and numbers on the Right represents Buy Orders.
If, however, you wish to see only the total volume that transacted within the bar, you may do so by toggling the "Split Buy and Sell" option.
Footprint Chart showing only the total volume:
Furthermore, this chart has its own candles, the width of which can be adjusted accordingly.
Volume Profile
This Footprint Chart offers a Stacked Volume Profile and an Unstacked Volume Profile, the former renders a Volume Profile which compares the buys from the sells, the better to visualise levels of activity, the latter renders a standard Volume Profile which shows the total volume that transacted on a price tick.
The type of Volume Profile that this Footprint Chart renders is similar to that of a Periodic Volume Profile, which renders Volume Profiles for every bar on the chart. Furthermore, the width of each Volume Profile bar of this Footprint Chart is relative to the largest volume transacted on the current session, the session beginning from the point you have opened the Footprint Chart until the 500th bar, capped for optimisational purposes, and shall adjust the session start accordingly once this limit had been reached. The Volume Profile bars' width will therefore change agreeably to each significant volume update, and sized relatively with that of the others.
Optimisation
This Footprint Chart utilises several drawings and calculations for attaining its visuals, the arrangement of which makes it more pleasing and easier to understand. Several optimisations have been implemented within the code, e.g. utilising queues, however, if you wish for it to be even more optimised, you can use an "Unstacked" Volume Profile, using larger tick sizes, as well as using 0 decimal placements for the Footprint Chart.
Furthermore, deselecting "Use Stacked Bars" will allow more boxes to be drawn, and will double the amount of boxes the volume profile can use.
Limitations
No historical tick data have yet been made available for use and so this Footprint Chart only has realtime data at its disposal. Historical footprints are therefore not rendered, the boundary of which is delineated by a vertical broken line.
Tips
This Footprint Chart is best viewed on a chart of its own, and it is therefore ideal to clear the chart of other candles by hiding them or utilising a line chart alternatively . In addition, stretch the time scale to its utmost capacity, the better to see properly the Volume Profile, as well as stretch the price scale to a proper height, the better to read the footprint volumes inscribed on the indicator.
Warnings
Changing settings may cause the Footprint Chart to reset. If, in case you have been accumulating Footprint Charts and wish to change some settings for the benefit of your charting, it is best to take a snapshot of your chart prior, for recent changes may cause resets to occur.
Liquidity composition / quantifytools- Overview
Liquidity composition divides each candle into sections that are used to display transaction activity at price. In simple terms, an X-ray through candle is formed, revealing the orderflow that built the candle in greater detail. Liquidity composition consists of two main components, lots and columns. Lots and columns can be used to visualize user specified volume types, currently supporting net volume and volume delta. Lots and columns can be used to visualize same or different volume types, allowing a combination of volume footprint, volume delta footprint and volume profile in one single view. Liquidity composition principally works on any chart, whether that is equities, currencies, cryptocurrencies or commodities, even charts with no volume data (in which case volatility is used to approximate transaction activity). The script also works on any timeframe, from minute charts to monthly charts. Orderflow can be observed in real-time as it develops and none of the indications are repainted.
Example: Displaying same volume types on lots and columns
Example: Displaying different volume types on lots and columns
Liquidity composition supports user specified derivative data, such as point of control(s) and net activity coloring. Derivative data can be calculated based on either net volume or volume delta, resulting in different highlights.
With net volume, volume delta and derivative data in one view, key orderflow events such as delta imbalances, high volume nodes, low volume nodes and point of controls can be used to quickly identify accumulation/distribution, imbalances, unfinished/finished auctions and trapped traders.
Accessing script 🔑
See "Author's instructions" section, found at bottom of the script page.
Key takeaways
- Liquidity composition breaks down transaction activity at price, measured in net volume or volume delta
- Developing activity can be observed real-time, none of the indications are repainted
- Transaction activity is calculated using volumes accrued in lower timeframe price movements
- Lots and columns can be used to display same or different volume types (e.g. volume delta lots and net volume columns) in single view
- Users can specify derivative data such as volume delta POCs, net volume POC and net activity coloring
- For practical guide with practical examples, see last section
Disclaimer
Orderflow data is estimated using lower timeframe price movement. While accurate and useful, it's important to note the calculations are estimations and are not based on orderbook data. Estimates are calculated by allotting volume developing on lower timeframe chart to its respective section based on closing price. Volume delta (difference between buyers/sellers) is calculated by subtracting down move volumes (sell volume) from up move volumes (buy volume). Accuracy of the orderflow estimations largely depends on quality of lower timeframe chart used for calculations, which is why this tool cannot be expected to work accurately on illiquid charts with broken data.
Liquidity composition does not provide a standalone trading strategy or financial advice. It also does not substitute knowing how to trade. Example charts and ideas shown for use cases are textbook examples under ideal conditions, not guaranteed to repeat as they are presented. Liquidity composition should be viewed as one tool providing one kind of evidence, to be used in conjunction with other means of analysis.

Chart #1: BTCUSDT
Chart #2: EURUSD
Chart #3: ES futures
- Calculations
By default, size of sections and lower timeframe accuracy are automatically determined for all charts and timeframes. Number of lower timeframe price moves used for calculating orderflow is kept at fixed value, by default set to 350. Accuracy value dictates how many lower timeframe candles are included in the calculation of volume at price. At 350, the script will always use 350 lower timeframe price movements in calculations (when possible). When calculated dynamic timeframe is less than 1 minute, the script switches to available seconds based timeframes. Minimum dynamic timeframe can be capped to 1 minute (as seconds based timeframes are not available for all plans) or dynamic timeframe can be overridden using an user specified timeframe.
Example: Calculating dynamic lower timeframe
Main chart: 4H / 240 minutes
Accuracy value: 100
Formula: 240 minutes / 100 = 2.4 minutes
Timeframe used for calculations = 2 minutes
Section size is automatically determined based on typical historical candle range, the bigger it is, the bigger the section size as well. Like dynamic timeframe, automatic section size can be manually overridden by user specified size expressed in ticks (minimum price unit). Users can also adjust sensitivity of automatic sizing by setting it higher (smaller sections, more detail and more noise) or lower (less sections, less detail and less noise). Section size and dynamic timeframe can be monitored via metric table.
Volume at price is calculated by allotting volume associated with a lower timeframe price movement to its respective section based on closing price (volume is stored to the section that covers closing price). When used on a chart with no volume data, volatility is used instead to determine likely magnitude of participation. Volume delta (difference between buyers/sellers) is calculated by subtracting down move volumes (sell volume) from up move volumes (buy volume). Volumes accrued in sections are monitored over a longer period of time to determine a "normal" amount of activity, which is then used to normalize accrued volumes by benchmarking them against historical values.
Volume values displayed on the left side represent how close or far volume traded at given section is to an extreme, represented by value of 10 . The more value exceeds 10, the more extreme transaction activity is historically. The lesser the value, the less extreme (and therefore more typical) transaction activity is. Users can adjust sensitivity of volume extreme threshold, either by increasing it (more transaction activity is needed to constitute an extreme) or decreasing it (less transaction activity is needed to constitute an extreme).
Example: Interpreting volume scale
0 = Very little to no transaction activity compared to historical values
5 = Transaction activity equal to average historical values
10 = Transaction activity equal to an extreme in historical values
10+ = The more transaction activity exceeds value of 10, the more extreme it is historically
Accuracy of orderflow data largely depends on quality of lower timeframe data used in calculations. Sometimes quality of underlying lower timeframe data is insufficient due to suboptimal accuracy or broken lower timeframe data, usually caused by illiquid charts with gaps and inconsistent values. Therefore, one should always ensure the usage of most liquid chart available with no gaps in lower timeframe data. To combat poor orderflow data, a simple data quality check is conducted by calculating percentage of sections with volume data out of all available sections. Idea behind the test is to capture instances where unusual amount of sections are completely empty, most likely due to data gaps in LTF chart. E.g. 90% of sections hold some volume data, 10% are completely empty = 90% data quality score.
Data quality score should be viewed as a metric alerting when detail of underlying data is insufficient to consider accurate. When data quality score is slightly below threshold, lower timeframe chart used for calculations is likely fine, but accuracy value is too low. In this case, one should increase accuracy value or manually override used timeframe with a smaller one. When data quality score is well below threshold, lower timeframe chart used for calculations is likely broken and cannot be fixed. In this case, one should look for alternative charts with more reliable data (e.g. ES1! -> SPY, BITSTAMP:BTCUSD -> BINANCE:BTCUSDT).
Example : When insufficient data quality scores can/cannot be fixed
- Derivative data
Point of control
Point of control, referring to point in price where transaction activity is highest, can be calculated based on the volume type of lots or columns (based on net volume or volume delta). Depending on the calculation basis, displayed point of controls will vary. POC calculated based on net volume is no different from traditional POC, it is simply the section with highest amount of transaction activity, marked with an X. When calculating POC based on volume delta, the script will highlight two point of controls, named leading and losing point of control . Leading POC refers to lot with highest amount of volume delta, marked with an X. If leading POC was net buy volume, losing POC is marked on section with highest net sell volume, marked with S respectfully. Same logic applies in vice versa, if leading POC is net sell volume, losing POC is marked on highest buy volume section, using the letter B.
Net activity
Similarly to point of control calculation, net activity can be calculated based on either volume types, lots or columns. When calculating net activity based on net volume, candles will be colorized according to magnitude of total volume traded. When calculating net activity based on volume delta, candles will be colorized according to side with most volume traded (buyers or sellers). Net activity color can be applied on borders or body of a candle.
- Visuals
Lots, columns, candles and POCs can be colorized using a fixed color or a volume based dynamic color, with separate color options for buy side volume, sell side volume and net volume.
Metric table can be offsetted horizontally or vertically from any four corners of the chart, allowing space for tables from other scripts.
Table sizes, label sizes and offsets for visuals are fully customizable using settings menu.
- Practical guide
OHLC data (candles) is a simple condensed visualization of an auction market process. Candles show where price was in the beginning of an auction period (timeframe), the highest/lowest point and where price was at the end of an auction. The core utility of Liquidity composition is being able to view the same auction market process in much greater detail, revealing likely intention, effort and magnitude driving the process. All basic orderflow concepts, such as ones presented by auction market theory can be applied to Liquidity composition as well.
The most obvious and easy to spot use case for orderflow tools is identifying trapped traders/absorption, seen in high transaction activity at the very highs/lows of a candle or even better, at wicks. High participation at wicks can be used to identify forced orders absorbed into limit orders, idea behind being that when high transaction activity is placed at a wick, price went one direction with a lot of participation (high effort) and came right back up (low impact) within the same time period.
Absorption can show itself in many ways:
- Extreme buy volume sections at wick highs or buy side POC at wick highs
- Multiple, clustered high buy volume sections (but not extreme) at wick highs
- Positive net volume delta into a reversal down
- Extreme sell volume sections at wick lows or sell side POC at wick lows
- Multiple, clustered high sell volume sections (but not extreme) at wick lows
- Negative net volume delta into a reversal up
- Extreme net volume sections at or net volume POC at wick highs/lows
- Extreme net volume into a reversal up/down
For accurate analysis, orderflow based events should be viewed in the context of price action. To identify absorption, it's best to look for opportunities where an opposing trend is clearly in place, e.g. absorption into highs on an uptrend, absorption into lows on a downtrend. When price is ranging without a clear trend or there's no opposing trend, extreme activity at an extreme end of a candle might be aggressive participants attempting to initiate a new trend, rather than getting absorbed in the same sense. With enough effort put into pushing price to the opposite direction at overextended price, a shift in trend direction might be near.
Price action based levels are a great way to get context around orderflow events. Simple range highs/lows as a single data point serve as a high probability regimes for reversals, making them a great point of confluence for identifying trapped traders.
Low to zero volume sections can be used to identify points in price with little to no trading, leaving a volume null/void behind. Typically sections like these represent gaps on a lower timeframe chart, which can be used as reference levels for targets and support/resistance.
Net volume can be used for same purposes as above, but for determining general intention of market participants it's a much more suitable tool than volume delta. According to auction market theory, low/no participation is considered to reject prices and high participation is considered to accept prices. With this concept in mind, unfinished auctions occur when participation is high at highs or high at lows, idea behind being that participants are showing willingness and interest to trade at higher or lower prices. Auction is considered finished when the opposite is true, i.e. when participants are not showing willingness to trade at higher/lower prices. In general, direction of unfinished auctions can be expected to continue shortly and direction of unfinished auctions can be expected to hold.
While shape of volume delta and net volume are usually similar, they're not the same thing and do not represent the same event under the hood. Volume delta at 0 does not necessarily mean participation is 0, but can also mean high participation with equal amount of buying and selling. With this distinction in mind, using volume delta and net volume in tandem has the benefit of being able to identify points in price with a lot of up and down price movement packed into a small area, i.e. consolidation. Points in price where price hangs around for an extended period of time can be used to identify levels of interest for re-tests and breakout opportunities.
Volume / Open Interest "Footprint" - By LeviathanThis script generates a footprint-style bar (profile) based on the aggregated volume or open interest data within your chart's visible range. You can choose from three different heatmap visualizations: Volume Delta/OI Delta, Total Volume/Total OI, and Buy vs. Sell Volume/OI Increase vs. Decrease.
How to use the indicator:
1. Add it to your chart.
2. The script will use your chart's visible range and generate a footprint bar on the right side of the screen. You can move left/right, zoom in/zoom out, and the bar's data will be updated automatically.
Settings:
- Source: This input lets you choose the data that will be displayed in the footprint bar.
- Resolution: Resolution is the number of rows displayed in a bar. Increasing it will provide more granular data, and vice versa. You might need to decrease the resolution when viewing larger ranges.
- Type: Choose between 3 types of visualization: Total (Total Volume or Total Open Interest increase), UP/DOWN (Buy Volume vs Sell Volume or OI Increase vs OI Decrease), and Delta (Buy Volume - Sell Volume or OI Increase - OI Decrease).
- Positive Delta Levels: This function will draw boxes (levels) where Delta is positive. These levels can serve as significant points of interest, S/R, targets, etc., because they mark the zones where there was an increase in buy pressure/position opening.
- Volume Aggregation: You can aggregate volume data from 8 different sources. Make sure to check if volume data is reported in base or quote currency and turn on the RQC (Reported in Quote Currency) function accordingly.
- Other settings mostly include appearance inputs. Read the tooltips for more info.
Footprint ClassicThe Volume Footprint chart is analyzing volume data contained within candles and split it into two components - Up and Down volume. This analysis is similar to how Volume Profile evaluates volume data from a portion of the chart.
This script can be used by any user. You do not need to have PRO or PREMIUM account to use it.
As a user, you have the flexibility to select the desired level of data precision for the Volume Footprint analysis. We highly recommend using the highest precision possible, as it provides the most accurate results. However, it's important to keep in mind that Trading View has several limitations and not all levels of precision are available on all intervals. The higher the precision, the shorter the history of available data.
If, after adding the script or changing the precision, you encounter an error message stating "'The study references too many candles in history'", it may be necessary to reduce the precision level in the script settings to resolve the issue.
This script is a part of the "Volume Footprint" toolkit, which includes:
I. Footprint chart visualization scripts in two variants:
⠀⠀Volume Footprint - Presenting volume data on both sides of the candle.
⠀⠀Volume Footprint Classic - Presenting volume data on the right side of the candle.

"The study references too many candles in history" - If you encounter this issue, try changing "Data precision" setting to a lower value.
RS: FootprintThis is live only Footprint indicator.
Warning: TV does not provide tick by tick data and updates come in snapshots . Based on this, this indicator can never show precisely what is happening on the bid/ask. What it shows is only an approximation that works well enough if the tape is not too fast.
Use it at your own risk, with the warning above in mind!
Footprint can be used in two modes:
Delta - with bid/ask delta numbers on the left, at the same price level and the total volume numbers on the right
Bid vs Ask - with the bid on the left and the ask on the right; the coloring is based on the diagonal difference
Zoom in to fit the candles; optionally hide default candles.
Volume FootprintThe Volume Footprint chart is analyzing volume data from inside the candle and split them into Up and Down Volume in the same way as Volume Profile analyzes the volume data from a fragment of the chart.
The visualization is little different:
Down Volume (sells) are shown on the left side of a candle.
Up Volume (Buys) are shown on the right side of a candle.
User can pick data precision used by Volume Footprint. We recomend to use the highest possible precision.
Unfortunatelly Trading View has many limitations.
If after adding script nothing is visible with error: "'The study references too many candles in history'" you need to use lower precision - It can be changed in script settings.
This script is a part of a toolkit called "Volume Footprint", containing few tools:
Volume Footprint - Scripts drawing Volume Footprint chart.
Volume Footprint Statistics - Script showing table with basic statistics about Up and Down volume inside the candles.
Volume Delta In Candle - Chart showing history of delta (difference between Up and Down volume) changes inside the current candle.
Volume Cumulative Delta - Chart showing history of cumulative delta (sum of difference between Up and Down volume in trading period equal to chart interval).
This script can be used by any user. You do not need to have PRO or PREMIUM account to use it.
Script with limited access, contact author to get authorization
User Interface:
Script is grouping Up and Down Volume into slots based on price. Slots height is controled by "Slot height" param in settings.
On left side of a candle Down Volume is shown and on right side Up Volume is shown.
Before Down Volume may appear imbalance symbols:
⠀↓ - 3 times
⠀↡ - 5 times
⠀⇊ - 10 times
After Up Volume may appear imbalance symbols:
⠀↑ - 3 time
⠀↟ - 5 times
⠀⇈ - 10 times
Above the candle we can show some basic statistics of that candle:
"V:" - Row with volume statistics:
⠀∑ - Total volume,
⠀Δ - Difference between Up and Down Volume.
⠀min Δ - Smallest difference between Up and Down Volume in that candle
⠀max Δ - Biggest difference between Up and Down Volume in that candle
Script settings:
Slot height = 10^ - Price slot height on the chart:
⠀ 0 - 1$
⠀ 1 - 10$
⠀ 2 - 100$
⠀ 3 - 1000$
⠀-1 - 0.1$
⠀-2 - 0.01$
⠀-3 - 0.001$
Data precision - One of 6 levels of data precision: ▉▇▆▅▃▁, where ▉ means the highest precision and ▁ the lowest available precision. On 15 minute chart highest precision should be available, but on 1D it will probably hit TradingView limitations and script will not be even launched by the platform with error: "'The study references too many candles in history'". The general recommendation is to use the highest available precision for a given instrument and interval.
Precise warnings - Option to show precise warnings about missing volume in candle footprint (warning connected with one of TradingView limitations).
Draw candles - Option of drawing candles fiting to volume labels and 2 fields for picking colors of up and down candles. The general recommendation is to hide chart candles and turn on this option.
Show stats - Showing stats over the candle: ∑, Δ, min Δ, max Δ. You can use 'Volume Footprint Statistics' script instead
Font size - Used to draw all the data over the chart: T(iny), S(mall), N(ormal), L(arge)
Centered - If checked volume labels are stick to candle (centered).
Color values - Option to draw labels with use of Up or Down color, depending which value (Volume Up or Volume Down) is bigger in the price slot.
Filter - Filtering option than allow hinding labels with small values:
⠀0 - filter turned off.
⠀1-5 - filtering with transparency
⠀6-10 - Filtering with hiding values.
Show zeros - It can show zeros or leave empty places
Highlight biggest slot - Option to highlight price slot with biggest volume in the candle.
Imbalances - Showing imbalance symbols before Down or after Up Volume
Only over average - Showing imbalances symbols only for volume not smaller than the average value.
Value area - Option to identify group of slots with biggest volume in each candle. A group is a smallest set of neighboring slots that have at least n(param) % of candle volume .
⠀ Value Area Minimal Volume (%) - Value area size as % of candle volume .
⠀ Color - Color of the Value area.
⠀ Show borders - Showing border lines of value areas over the candle.
⠀ Track - Option to track value areas. Potencial Support-Resistance zones.
⠀ Only active - Hide areas that were crossed by the price.
Show Values - Show volume value over tracked value areas.
Troubleshooting:
In case of any problems, send error details to the author of the script.

Order Flow Footprint Real-timeOrder Flow Footprint Real-time chart (also known as Cluster chart, bid/ask profile, bid/ask cluster, numbered bars) is a concept of drawing candle internal structure and showing bid and ask transactions inside the candle.
Values on left side of a candle are bids - Transactions done by active sellers with passive buyers.
Values on right side of a candle are asks - Transactions done by active buyers with passive sellers.
This script is a part of a toolkit called "Order Flow":
Order Flow Register - Register showing list of recently done transactions with clasification on bids and asks.
Order Flow Footprint Realtime - Tool showing bid and ask structure of transactions inside realtime candles.
Order Flow Footprint Estimation - Tool showing estimated bid and ask structure based on historical data.
This tool requires frequently updated real-time data to work efficiently. It cannot analyze historic charts. If you need footprint of historic data just use Order Flow Footprint Estimation instead.
Warning !
TradingView has a data delay feature on many exchanges (10-30 minutes) and real-time data are extra paid in that case. Missing real-time data source will limit the functionality of the script to educational purposes only.
User Interface:
Script is drawing volume values grouped into price slots. Price slots height is controled by slot height param in settings.
Volume values are clasified as bids and asks and draw on opposite sides of a candle. On left side of a candle bid volume values are shown and on right side ask volume values are shown.
Before bid values may appear symbols of sellers aggressiveness compared with buyers:
↓ - 3 times
↡ - 5 times
⇊ - 10 times
After ask values may appear symbol of buyers aggressiveness compared with sellers:
↑ - 3 time
↟ - 5 times
⇈ - 10 times
Above the candle we have some statistics of that candle:
"V:" - Row with volume statistics: ∑ - Total volume, Δ - Difference between asks and bids (typically negative in down trend and positive in up trend). Below the smallest and largest delta values recorded during this candle.
"T:" - Row with transaction estimations: ∑ - Estimation of total transactions, Δ - Difference between number of ask and bid transaction estimations
Script settings:
Slot height = 10^ - Price slot height on the chart:
0 - 1$
1 = 10$
2 = 100$
3 = 1000$
-1 = 0.1$
-2 = 0.01$
-3 = 0.001$
Font size - Font size used to draw all the data over the chart: Tiny, Small, Normal, Large
Centered - If checked volume labels are stick to candle
Draw bars - Option of drawing candles fiting to volume labels and 2 fields for picking colors of up and down candles.
Underline biggest slot - Option to underline price slot with biggest volume in the candle.
Color values - Option to draw labels with use of Ask and Bid colors, depending on which value is bigger in the price slot.
Troubleshooting:
In case of any problems, please send error details to the author of the script.
Order Flow RegisterOrder flow register is a tool showing history of transactions done recently. It analyze volume and price data to estimate how many "bid" and "ask" transaction was done on the market.
Typically bid transactions are done by active sellers (with passive buyers) and ask by active buyers (with passive sellers).
The advantage of ask transactions shows the emotions of buyers who are willing to pay more to buy.
The advantage of bid transactions shows the emotions of sellers who are willing to sell cheaper to exit the position.
This tool requires frequently updated real-time data to function efficiently.
Warning !
TradingView has a data delay feature on many exchanges (10-30 minutes) and real-time data are extra paid in that case. Missing real-time data source will limit the functionality of the script to educational purposes only.
User Interface:
In the table placed in the right-top corner you can find transaction data in 3 columns. First with bid transaction volume, second with price and third with ask transaction volume.
Value shown between "Ask" and "Bid" labels is showing price change done with last transaction (usefull when agregate option is on).
If agregate option is on:
- Addition row with last registered transaction is shown over labels(row with "Big" and "Ask" label).
- Price label of active row (first below the labels) has changing background color linearly between ask and bid value depending in which part of agregated price slot current price is.
Script settings:
Agregate - Option to agregate transactions into areas of some height
FieldHeight = 10^ - Area height on the chart:

Real Cummulative Delta (New TV Function)Thanks to the new TradingView indicator Up/Down Volume, it is now possible to get accurate information on Agression (market buying vs market selling)
However, as they only provide the value of delta, I've made this indicator to show the cummulative value, in the form of candles.
It is great to detect divergences in the macro and in the micro scale (As in divergences in each candle and divergences in higher or lower tops or bottoms)
Hope you can make good use of it!
Easy FootprintThis script represents a simple footprint system which can currently be applied on time based candles only.
Options:
Display Bid/Ask volumes at price
Display horizontal delta at price
Highlight Buuying/Selling/Both imbalances at price (default, green, red or orange(both) background color)
Highlight the POC of the current candle (yellow cell border)
Display the current candle
Parameters:
Imbalance threshold: Minimal proportion to highlight cells in case of buying/selling imbalances (2=200% , 3=300%, etc...)
Text size: Just a display option to select the size of the text in cells
Price truncation factor: Allows the user to configure the size of each cell (default factor 0 is 1pts, factor 1 is 0.1 pts, factor 2 is 0.01 pts, factor -1 is 10 pts, etc...)
Volume decimals: Select the precision you want to see in volume information
Enable display of bid/ask volume at price
Enable display of horizontal delta at price
Note :
Some cells might be missing within a candle when gaps appear
Volume DeltaVolume Delta
This indicator aims to provide users an idea for momentum and exhaustion, via differentiating between the buy delta and sell delta.
The purpose of this indicator is to give a deeper dive into the data provided by tradingviews volume indicator with greater granularity intrabar from a HTF perspective! (suitable for 30min and up but will work as low as 5m)
Below we can see an additional 2 modes,
Split:
Delta:
The difference between the 3 modes include:
Split is a separation of the initial mode "Singular" it divides the 2 into separate axis positioning to allow for a different perspective of the same data.
Delta: Takes the difference of the 2 and makes it easier for users to see which side was in control, personally delta makes it easier to see DIVS in momentum and where exhaustion is occuring.
DeltaPrint SingularityDeltaPrint Singularity
DeltaPrint Singularity is a method of bringing a previous DeltaPrint Candles with less granularity but greater historical reference.
The advantages is the ease of use with existing charts and indicators without adjusting for low tf chart for UI Space this is all handled on the same timeframe using intrabar data.
The benefit of such candles is providing users additional data as to location of potentially trapped traders via late entry into positions e.g. late longing a range high or VAH.
Or to provide credence to traders who look for momentum plays seeing momentum drop off likely leading to a period of consolidation or pull back.
The logic used here is different to the previous rendition of the indicator but works well with any and all charts that allow some reference to volume.
This indicator aims to provide users the insight into how traders are positioning and where they are positioning. The indicator comes with a few initial features:
Singular Coloring
Delta Coloring
POC Highlighting
Singular Coloring is useful by providing a minimalist view into volume execution points.
Delta Coloring breaks this down further by providing an estimate into ask:bid (although delta print will be stronger at this)
POC highlighting provides only the volume POC and not Delta POC.
Planned Updates
Delta Weighting
POC Level Extensions

Realtime FootprintThe purpose of this script is to gain a better understanding of the order flow by the footprint. To that end, i have added unusual features in addition to the standard features.
I use "Real Time 5D Profile by LucF" main engine to create basic footprint(profile type) and added some popular features and my favorites.
This script can only be used in realtime, because tradingview doesn't provide historical Bid/Ask date.
Bid/Ask date used this script are up/down ticks.
This script can only be used by time based chart (1m, 5m , 60m and daily etc)
This script use many labels and these are limited max 500, so you can't display many bars.
If you want to display foot print bars longer, turn off the unused sub-display function.
Default setting is footprint is 25 labels, IB count is 1, COT high and Ratio high is 1, COT low and Ratio low is 1 and Delta Box Ratio Volume is 1 , total 29.
plus UA , IB stripes , ladder fading mark use several labels.
///////// General Setting ///////////
Resets on Volume / Range bar
: If you want to use simple time based Resets on, please set Total Volume is 0.
Your timeframe is always the first condition. So if you set Total Volume is 1000, both conditions(Volume >= 1000 and your timeframe start next bar) must be met. (that is, new footprint bar doesn't start at when total volume = exactly 1000).
Ticks per row and Maximum row of Bar
: 1 is minimum size(tick). "Maximum row of Bar" decide the number of rows used in one footprint. 1 row is created from 1 label, so you need to reduce this number to display many footprints (Max label is 500).
Volume Filter and For Calculation and Display
: "Volume Filter" decide minimum size of using volume for this script.
"For Calculation and Display" is used to convert volume to an integer.
This script only use integer to make profile look better (I contained Bid number and Ask number in one row( one label) to saving labels. This require to make no difference in width by the number of digits and this script corresponds integers from 0 to 3 digits).
ex) Symbol average volume size is from 0.0001 to 0.001. You decide only use Volume >= 0.0005 by "Volume Filter".
Next, you convert volume to integer, by setting "For Calculation and Display" is 1000 (0.0005 * 1000 = 5).
If 0.00052 → 5.2 → 5, 0.00058 → 5.8 → 6 (Decimal numbers are rounded off)
This integer is used to all calculation in this script.
//////// Main Display ///////
Footprint, Total, Row Delta, Diagonal Delta and Profile
: "Footprint" display Ask and Bid per row. "Total" display Ask + Bid per row.
"Row Delta" display Ask - Bid per row. "Diagonal Delta" display Ask(row N) - Bid(row N -1) per row.
Profile display Total Volume(Ask + Bid) per row by using Block. Profile Block coloring are decided by Row Delta value(default: positive Row Delta (Ask > Bid) is greenish colors and negative Row Delta (Ask < Bid) is reddish colors.)
Volume per Profile Block, Row Imbalance Ratio and Delta Bull/Bear/Neutral Colors
: "Volume per Profile Block" decide one block contain how many total volume.
ex) When you set 20, Total volume 70 display 3 block.
The maximum number of blocks that can be used per low is 20.
So if you set 20, Total volume 400 is 20 blocks. total volume 800 is 20 blocks too.
"Row Imbalance Ratio" decide block coloring. The row imbalance is that the difference between Ask and Bid (row delta) is large.
default is x3, x2 and x1. The larger the difference, the brighter the color.
ex) Ask 30 Bid 10 is light green. Ask 20 Bid 10 is green. Ask 11 Bid 10 is dark green.
Ask 0 Bid 1 is light red. Ask 1 Bid 2 is red. ask 30 Bid 59 is dark green.
Ask 10 Bid 10 is neutral color(gray)
profile coloring is reflected same row's other elements(Ask, Bid, Total and Delta) too.
It's because one label can only use one text color.
/////// Sub Display ///////
Delta, total and Commitment of Traders
: "Delta" is total Ask - total Bid in one footprint bar. Total is total Ask + total Bid in one footprint bar.
"Commitment of traders" is variation of "Delta". COT High is reset to 0 when current highest is touched. COT Low is opposite.
Basic concept of Delta is to compare price with Delta. Ordinary, when price move up, delta is positive. Price move down is negative delta.
This is because market orders move price and market orders are counted by Delta (although this description is not exactly correct).
But, sometimes prices do not move even though many market orders are putting pressure on price , or conversely, price move strongly without many market orders.
This is key point. Big player absorb market orders by iceberg order(Subdivide large orders and pretend to be small limit orders.
Small limit orders look weak in the order book, but they are added each time you fill, so they are more powerful than they look.), so price don't move.
On the other hand, when the price is moving easily, smart players may be aiming to attract and counterattack to a better price for them.
It's more of a sport than science, and there's always no right response. Pay attention to the relationship between price, volume and delta.
ex) If COT Low is large negative value, it means many sell market orders is coming, but iceberg order is absorbing their attack at limit order.
you should not do buy entry, only this clue. but this is one of the hints.
"Delta, Box Ratio and Total texts is contained same label and its color are "Delta" coloring. Positive Delta is Delta Bull color(green),Negative Delta is Delta Bear Color
and Delta = 0 is Neutral Color(gray). When Delta direction and price direction are opposite is Delta Divergence Color(yellow).
I didn't add the cumulative volume delta because I prefer to display the CVD line on the price chart rather than the number.
Box Ratio , Box Ratio Divisor and Heavy Box Ratio Ratio
: This is not ordinary footprint features, but I like this concept so I added.
Box Ratio by Richard W. Arms is simple but useful tool. calculation is "total volume (one bar) divided by Bar range (highest - lowest)."
When Bull and bear are fighting fiercely this number become large, and then important price move happen.
I made average BR from something like 5 SMA and if current BR exceeds average BR x (Heavy Box Ratio Ratio), BR box mark will be filled.
Box Ratio Divisor is used to good looking display(BR multiplied by Box Ratio Divisor is rounded off and displayed as an integer)
Diagonal Imbalance Count , D IB Mark and D IB Stripes
: Diagonal Imbalance is defined by "Diagonal Imbalance Ratio".
ex) You set 2. When Ask(row N) 30 Bid(row N -1)10, it's 30 > 10*2, so positive Diagonal Imbalance.
When Ask(row N) 4 Bid(row N -1)9, it's 4*2 < 9, so negative Diagonal Imbalance.
This calculation does not use equals to avoid Ask(row N) 0 Bid(row N -1)0 became Diagonal Imbalance.
Ask(row N) 0 Bid(row N -1)0, it's 0 = 0*2, not Diagonal Imbalance. Ask(row N) 10 Bid(row N -1)5, it's 10 = 5*2, not Diagonal Imbalance.
"D IB Mark" emphasize Ask or Bid number which is dominant side(Winner of Diagonal Imbalance calculation), by under line.
"Diagonal Imbalance Count" compare Ask side D IB Mark to Bid side D IB Mark in one footprint.
Coloring depend on which is more aggressive side (it has many IB Mark) and When Aggressive direction and price direction are opposite is Delta Divergence Color(yellow).
"D IB Stripes" is a function that further emphasizes with an arrow Mark, when a DIB mark is added on the same side for three consecutive row. Three consecutive arrow is added at third row.
Unfinished Auction, Ratio Bounds and Ladder fading Mark
: "Unfinished Auction" emphasize highest or lowest row which has both Ask and Bid, by Delta Divergence Color(yellow) XXXXXX mark.
Unfinished Auction sometimes has magnet effect, price may touch and breakout at UA side in the future.
This concept is famous as profit taking target than entry decision.
But, I'm interested in the case that Big player make fake breakout at UA side and trapped retail traders, and then do reversal with retail traders stop-loss hunt.
Anyway, it's not stand alone signal.
"Ratio Bounds" gauge decrease of pressure at extreme price. Ratio Bounds High is number which second highest ask is divided by highest ask.
Ratio Bounds Low is number which second lowest bid is divided by lowest bid. The larger the number, the less momentum the price has.
ex)first footprint bar has Ratio Bounds Low 2, second footprint bar has RBL 4, third footprint bar has RBL 20.
This indicates that the bear's power is gradually diminishing.
"Ladder fading mark" emphasizes the decrease of the value in 3 consecutive row at extreme price. I added two type Marks.
Ask/Bid type(triangle Mark) is Ask/Bid values are decreasing of three consecutive row at extreme price.
Row Imbalance type(Diamond Mark) are row Imbalance values are decreasing of three consecutive row at extreme price.
ex)Third lowest Bid 40, second lowest Bid 10 and lowest Bid 5 have triangle up Mark. That is bear's power is gradually diminishing.
(This Mark only check Bid value at lowest price and Ask value at highest price).
Third highest row delta + 60, second highest row delta + 5, highest delta - 20 have diamond Mark. That is Bull's power is gradually diminishing.
Sub display use Delta colors at bottom of Sub display section.
////// Candle & POC /////////
candle and POC
: Ordinary, "POC" Point of Control is row of largest total volume, but this script'POC is volume weighted average.
This is because the regular POC was visually displayed by the profile ,and I was influenced LucF's ideas.
POC coloring is decided in relation to the previous POC. When current POC is higher than previous POC, color is UP Bar Color(green).
In the opposite case, Down Bar color is used.
POC Divergence Color is used when Current POC is up but current bar close is lower than open (Down price Bar),or in the opposite case.
POC coloring has option also highlight background by Delta Divergence Color(yellow). but bg color is displayed at your time frame current price bar not current footprint bar.
The basic explanation is over.
I add some image to promote understanding basic ideas.
Delta Bar Stats SpaceManBTCDelta Bar Stats SpaceManBTC
This is a supplementary tool to DeltaPrint Candles SpaceManBTC, Hence why its inclusion in the chart above. Orderflow traders have access to the bar statistics in a seperate,
container to the candles themselves. This aims to tackle that disparity by providing a solution to tradingview.
Using a calculation that is found in the DeltaPrint Candles SpaceManBTC the data reflected as you can see is the same in the TVOL and DVOL
parameters matching the Total Volume and Delta Volume parameters.
The tool Delta Bar Stats SpaceManBTC also provides access to extra information, Delta Price, Buy Volume, Sell volume.
The Delta price highlighting the DVPOC (delta volume point of control) and the 2 following
refrencing the total buy volume and sell volume in the candle respectively.
Additionally you can see on load 2 settings:
Dynamic Coloring Delta Volume,
changes color based on whether the Total Delta for the candle was positive or negative.
Dynamic Coloring Delta Price,
changes color based on whether price closed above or below the DeltaVPOC
Ticksize is used to determine the amount of data generated, the lower the more information will be provided on the current candle. Using AutoTickSize will do this automatically accounting for recent volatility .
Therefore when using and new, use auto, to switch between charts with ease. On charts that you always keep open it is recommended to manually tune ticksize to your choosing.
Delta Profile SpaceManBTCDelta Profile SpaceManBTC
Delta Profile SpaceManBTC, provides 2 very useful functions to tradingview traders with increased statistic for their candles in which case they can use to add confluence to their trading style.
Profile Types:
There are 2 main modes as it stands:
Delta Profile: Comes with the ability to show where buyers and sellers are stepping in more aggressively at which points to show a representation of trapped traders easier and aggression in the market.
Volume Profile: Can be used to do the same but in a more pure volume form, as well as allows for an ease in detecting a momentum shift.
Statistic Types: works with all modes
Ask/Bid Ask bid gives you the pure representation of that data showing at which points buyers stepped in and seller stepped in, no additional calculation on top.
Delta Delta shows the difference between, ie delta, for the ask and bid so its easier to view the difference at loss of the exact values used.
Volume Volume, shows the pure volumetric values no explanation of who buyers and sellers are allowing for a clean view of what is happening in the market with no code functionality applied.
The statistics are not isolated to their desired profile type as this provides the ability to use the volume profile type and delta values and vice versa, allowing users to choose which UI representation they want but which data.
This allows users to get both parts of the picture at any one time!
Using the tick data provided i am able to accurately caclulate the information, however this means for historical data there is none until the script is run for a period of time without stopping.
The tool is a method of providing flow data to the tradingview community, it can allow for good confluences at key levels of interaction E.G., key swing points/S/R points is when its accuracy for trading shines and can give you a good understanding of whats
happening at that time in the market.
Highly recommend dialing the ticksize manually. this provides greater consistency, auto ticksize was made for entry level users to quickly get a feel of the indicator but manually tuning to get the data you require without too much noise is very useful.
TO DO:
Sessions: accounting for Asia,Europe and North America
Tick based candles. e.g number of ticks before a new candle is generated.
Delta Continuum SpaceManBTCDelta Continuum SpaceManBTC
This is a tool that ive made with a brand new code base, to assist traders of all timeframes.
The new version of this tool makes use of the intra data to collect the tick for tick data that can be provided, this allows the provisioning of orderflow on tradingview.
Using a calculation of pure tick data and volume calculations, the display is created allowing the means to display a bid and ask seperation functionality to show the trades taking place in a market.
Taking account for this real time data it can show the exact moments a market participant is taking a trade.
This tool is an advanced way of determining the levels of which point is being interacted with to display the points at which a seller has stepped in to interact with a level, providing additional confluences when taking a trade.
Typically the best use case for this indicator is to see when their is a point of trapped traders in the trade, e.g. late longing resistance or late shorting support. Works best on futures contracts due to the high levels of execution volume in comparison.
Highly recommend dialing the ticksize manually. The ticksize for this indicator is best used manually as it allows for greater consistency when seeing who is participating at what level, as auto ticksize,
focuses on the volatility of the previous candle to display some data for the current candle. Now this will make it easier to use, it can reduce the consistency of the indicator when providing data.
Autoticksize will still be useful and will provide some confluence to the new flow traders.
to generate the data the candle must be the realtime candle and will not generate for historical candles, however this data for the real time candle will be only generated from the exact point in time to which the candle is loaded.
The indicator can show both the bid/ask split but alternatively the user can choose to just show the delta instead for ease of viewing.
TO DO:
Release the ticksize candles, to allow for tickbased charts and not just time based.
Realtime Volume Stats Panel w Delta, Buy/Sell%, Cumulative DeltaWhat is it?
Displays several realtime volume stats for each bar/candle.
Although it was originally created to be an assist tool for the Market Footprint (available as a separate indicator) to consolidate the numbers into a neat panel below, it can be used independently as an Orderflow Analysis tool as well.
It currently displays the following:
(1) Net Delta Volume for the bar; (2) Total Volume for the bar; (3) Cumulative Delta Volume for bars plotted up till this point (i.e., from the time the tool started collecting realtime data);
(4) Buy Volume for the bar as a percentage of the total volume for the bar; and, (5) Sell Volume for the bar as a percentage of the total volume for the bar.
All labels/colors etc. are configurable to suit your aesthetics.
All data are ONLY AVAILABLE FOR REAL-TIME BARS. The longer you keep a chart open with the study enabled, the more data it collects and displays, and the better your analysis can potentially be.
Note that the data gets reset every time (a) any of the options is changed, (b) the market is switched, (c) the browser is refreshed, or (d) the script is reloaded
DATA ISN'T STORED. I.e., every time a new symbol is loaded, the previous symbol's data is lost. So if you intend to monitor a symbol closely, you would need to keep it loaded all the time (and without tinkering with any of the Settings).
Who is it for?
For ultra short term traders who are used to looking at short term auction orderflow (and price action) to catch buy/sell anomalies and accurate trade entries
For traders who are already using Market Footprint but want the volume stats to be displayed on the bottom pane making for a cleaner interface.
For traders (, irrespective of their method of trading,) who wish to understand what is happening under the hood when a certain price action unfolds. (Who is in control, who got trapped, what does liquidity or the lack thereof look like, etc.)
Footprint
What is it?
The classic Market Footprint chart for realtime bars (; at least the closest I could get it to anyway).
The tool has 3 modes, which display different volume data for the traded prices of each bar: (1) Up/Down Volume Footprint: At-price Up Volume and At-price Down Volume ; (2) Total Volume Footprint: Total volume transacted at each price; and, (3) Delta Volume Footprint: Difference between At-price Up Volume and At-price Down Volume . You can choose which mode you want from Settings. Each at-price value is color-coded based on its strength/weakness.
Maximum at-price volume for a bar can be chosen to be displayed in a separate color. This will serve (and be shown) as the VPOC ( Volume Point of Control). Note: This is not technically precise as VPOC is a slightly different concept. (But should be the same for most candles).
Below the bars (or above, depending on how you configure it), are displayed the following:(1) Net Delta Volume for the bar; (2) Total Volume for the bar; (3) Cumulative Delta Volume for bars plotted up till this point (i.e., from the time the tool started collecting realtime data); (4) Buy Volume for the bar as a percentage of the total volume for the bar; and, (5) Sell Volume for the bar as a percentage of the total volume for the bar. Each value here is color-coded as well.
In addition, a custom candle option has been provided. These are ON by default and displays 'thinner' candles for, arguably, good readability with Footprint in Up/Down Volume Mode. With custom candles, Tradingview's default candles will be rendered redundant and can be disabled. If you wish to switch to Tradingview's candles, it is recommended that you use either hollow candle mode or bar mode to view the footprint properly. (Filled-body candles will hide the values). Note that with the Footprint chart in either "Total Volume" or "Delta Volume" mode, you are better off using Tradingview's hollow candles or bars.
Almost all labels/colors etc. are configurable to suit your aesthetics.
All data are ONLY AVAILABLE FOR REAL-TIME BARS. The longer you keep a chart open with the study enabled, the more data it collects and displays, and the better your analysis can potentially be. Note that the data gets reset every time (a) any of the options is changed, (b) the market is switched, (c) the browser is refreshed, or (d) the script is reloaded
DATA ISN'T STORED. I.e., every time a new symbol is loaded, the previous symbol's data is lost. So if you intend to monitor a symbol closely, you would need to keep it loaded all the time (and without tinkering with any of the Settings in between).
Who is it for?
For ultra short term traders who are used to looking at short term auction orderflow (and price action) to catch buy/sell anomalies and accurate trade entries
For traders looking to get into footprint chart reading and who wish to give it a go and learn before investing in expensive platforms/tools.
For traders (, irrespective of their method of trading,) who wish to understand what is happening under the hood when a certain price action unfolds.
Who is in control, who got trapped, what does liquidity or the lack thereof look like, etc.
Mode 2: Total Volume Footprint. This also shows how Tradingvoew's hollow candles can be used with the tool.
Mode 3: Delta Volume Footprint

This is a tool that ive made that will be very useful to all types of traders. Orderflow based or price action based by providing a means to deliver both on tradingview.
Using a calculation of time volume and ticks, the display is created with a bid and ask for display functionality to show the influence of players in the market.
The tool will be a useful way to determine the levels of which a point is interacted with by the number of traders participating at that level.
This will help determine with a statistical representation in numerical form, the number of buyers and sellers being stopped out or trapped at any level specifically key support and resistance areas.
Ticksize is used to determine the amount of data generated, the lower the more information will be provided on the current candle. Using AutoTickSize will do this automatically accounting for recent volatility.
Therefore when using and new, use auto, to switch between charts with ease. On charts that you always keep open it is recommended to manually tune ticksize to your choosing.
To generate the data the candle is show on the left of the footprint in normal candle stick form but then displays the statistical values to the side to show relative participation.
The logic is to provide a better method to show the importance of potential levels, regularly works really well on swing highs and lows/liquidity sweeps.
The indicator also has the ability to show only the delta if that is your preference, the above is to show the full capabilities of generating data.
TO DO:
One more display type, similar to the delta ladder.
Increased Look back period with stacks.
