👣 Market Footprint

A granular order flow tool that visualizes aggressive buying and selling inside each candle.

🚀 Overview

The Market Footprint indicator breaks down standard candles to show you exactly how volume was transacted at each price level. It highlights imbalances where aggressive buyers or sellers overwhelmed the other side.

✨ Key Features

  • Imbalance Detection: Automatically highlights price levels where buying volume exceeded selling volume by a significant ratio (e.g., 300%).
  • Stacked Imbalances: Identifies zones of sustained aggression (multiple consecutive imbalances) which often act as strong support/resistance.
  • Open/Close Markers: Clearly marks where the auction opened and closed within the footprint.
  • POC (Point of Control): Visualizes the price level with the highest volume for each bar.

⚙️ Settings Guide

1. Imbalance Settings

  • Ratio: The strength required to trigger an imbalance (e.g., 3.0 means 3x more volume on one side).
  • Min Volume: Ignores low-volume noise levels.
  • Stacked Imbalances: Highlights when 3 or more imbalances appear stacked on top of each other.

2. Visualization

  • Color Scheme: Customize colors for Bids (Sells), Asks (Buys), and Imbalance highlights.
  • Text Visibility: Choose to show raw volume numbers, delta, or just the visual blocks.
