TradingView's New Volume Footprint Chart: Tutorial

[@gordongekko369]

How long have we been waiting for the Order Flow on TV and finally here it is. That's Great !!! Keep it up the good work !

[@tommasorossini8936]

These are not orderflow data, they are the sum of of the 1 Second volume data (tick volume ofc), it's pretty correlated only in high volume markets and moment, otherwise not very correlated

[@reemobrooklyn3557]

@TopTraderLounge Works well with Futures being that it's centralized and you have to pay for the data. Not sure about anything else.

[@kevinlaffey9310]

​@@tommasorossini8936 you need a tick-by-tick data feed, right? Like Rithmic, CQG, TT or IQFeed, eSignal

@TopTraderLounge you need a tick-by-tick data feed, right? Like Rithmic, CQG, TT or IQFeed, eSignal

[@Weltbummler23]

Yeah this is not order flow data at all. No bid and ask, just 1 second price action aggregations.

[@bernardclark8507]

I have literally been praying for yall to add this! Thank you!!

[@TradingView]

Our pleasure! Much more on the way as well

[@stevenklein9607]

Can i suggest adding the option to extend the POC until filled ​@TradingView

[@CryptoCoin02]

I appreciate how I can organize symbols with color flags and switch between different watch lists effortlessly. It keeps my trading workflow smooth and organized.

[@TradingView]

We love hearing this. Thanks for the feedback. Please give Volume Footprint a try and also let us know how you like it.

[@BenjaminTang-nq2mg]

Big "Thank you" to the TradingView team. This is an awesome new tool. Very helpful as it really enrich my daily volume analysis. Really appreciate your work!!

[@TradingView]

Our pleasure! More helpful videos and new features coming. Please stay subscribed - we'll announce it here.

[@dbhuwan]

This is amazing! In 2024 TV is firing on all cylinders releasing feature updates after feature updates every other day. Only this time these updates are really long overdue. I hated paying for footprint and options charts on other dilapidated smaller platforms when TV has always been there as my weapon of choice. So glad that TV considered developing these new age charts to continue to be on the top of the game! Kudos to your team!!

[@TradingView]

And MUCH more on the way. Please stay subscribed for new updates and features.

[@Weltbummler23]

Keep paying for them if they are using level 2 data, and you like that - this does not!

[@pasitakkaranunkorranich4780]

Million thanks to you, I have learned so many from your clip. Great Work!

[@danielschweig3177]

I only recommend the footprint with the purchase of data sources, otherwise it is of no use. It's great that the footprint is now available here. Great job to the developers!

[@akilic958]

Hey mate could you give us more details about data sources where we can get that with footprint ? Without data source doesn’t work? If I connect my ibkr is that enough?

[@danielschweig3177]

@@akilic958 Hey, I trade the gold future. Without the data set, the market is delayed by 10 minutes. So it makes no sense at all. To buy the right data source, you have to click on the yellow (D) next to the green dot (market open) in the chart. This will take you to the correct data source, which you can/must buy in order to get the real-time price and no longer have a delay of 10 minutes.

[@hgyala]

Really a good tool to analyse. Great job done by developer and the entire team

[@nd-kay]

Great to see footprint charts on TradingView! Many thanks :)

[@ElleDeeAus]

Awesome explanation - thanks so much to the narrator and the whole TV team of course! 😍

Great video. I always appreciate the in-depth explanation. Thank you

[@Stocks-ic1fg]

Here is my feedback Add ability to change text size Add an abilify to divide the numbers by a lot size Add ability to reduce the width of candle Add ability to adjust the decimal precision Add profile view Add the bar/time statistics table at the bottom (or make it a separate indicstor) that shows delta, delta % change, total volume, max delta, min delta

[@johndaniel21343]

Add volume

[@danielschweig3177]

how can I add the delta below?

[@BojanShinobi]

Great video brother ! I always wanted to start learning about the footprint chart . This is a great starting point especially now that is on trading view so i don't have to pay anything extra on another platform

[@TradingView]

This is what we love to hear and why we are always launching new tools for our members. Please stay tuned as we have more videos planned including real examples and upcoming updates.

[@J3ffMusk]

Do you plan to add tick data in the future? Thanks

[@min-k2689]

DAMN HOW LONG HAVE I WAITED FOR THIS.

[@TradingView]

We build for all traders! Thank you for the exciting note. Let us know if you have any feedback as you begin to use it.

[@dbhuwan]

Does this mean now that in addition to OHLC values, delta values are also available in pine script?

[@nareshagarwal906]

Great explanation!

[@LHRBeatz]

When will it be available for Basic users?

[@GSN1973]

The only issue I see with this is that the summary has to been zoomed in a lot to see so if you want to quickly check the delta and volume over time you cant glance over, it would be best to add a summary bar fixed along the bottom, similar to other 3rd party software thats called Footprint bar statistics.

[@francescosaveriostellato4040]

I have a question. Is the volume used in the footprint, as well as in the volume profile and the vwap, true trading volume? Do I have to sign up for a supply subscription? Or is it the usual tick volume?

[@nutritiontrader]

Is the stacked levels function available for coding in PineScript (for example to create an alarm)?

[@marka.haginsanddynamicacad9535]

@TradingView , Do the Buyer and Seller Data on Activity,....Loose Accuracy as We go Smaller in Timeframes ??? Example> 30 min TF is More Accurate/Reliable than 5 min & 1 min Timeframes ???

[@Matrix_trades_]

it appears that it is no longer available as an indicator. is this the case? @tradingview?

[@stevemccullough7075]

What plan do we need to purchase to get access to this? Very powerful tool.

[@martin21ulrich]

You need Premium

[@vikas92658]

Can we use this for Intraday? For 2 or 5 min timeframe?

[@raimondolicastro4609]

can I use foot print in commodity spread trading? thanks and congratulations for the video!

[@juststuff5216]

*Alerts?* How would I get alerts for this when imbalance is triggered or for specific volume levels? Also, I'm not understanding the Imbalance trigger, as rarely if ever, one side is 300% more than the other, yet Imbalance alert is highlighted???

[@lifemarketing9876]

Can you use this for lower timeframes like the 1 minute? Also, what priceplan is required to use this. Thanks.

[@Vikkrannt_Shah]

how manual is calculated ... ? can you must give option to have time view or lets say divide option means example its 15 min candle n i want to know the data divided by 5 = 3 min each ... this give good weightage to time for calculation

[@apmyp5493]

So this footprint still do not show bid and ask volume actually traded?

[@rezhwansabah6894]

i could not finde the indicatore please help

[@Gggvbbffjjb__4]

Hello I would like to know if the cryptocurrency data on TradingView is reliable for both large and small cryptocurrencies. Is the data in real-time? Which exchanges is the data sourced from? Are there measures in place to avoid fake volume wash trading, and is it reliable for low-cap altcoins?

[@Njcarter4]

Major subscriber and user of Tv this is awesome do y'all have a bid/ask footprint chart coming ?

[@ElleDeeAus]

@TradingView Does the tool have a set look-back period limit? I don't see it in the settings, but notice when I zoom into lower timeframe (e.g. 5 mins) the time period the tool extends to is limited. Just want to check it's by design, not user error 🙂

[@MacroTraderSwinger]

Is it same thing as orderflow ? Have you tried it ?

[@thekapil1007]

Normal volume candle and footprint total volume values shown difference values why? Please explain?

[@alanpaschoal7299]

Guys, can we have indicators using delta and buy and sell numbers?

[@TradingView]

Can you give us a little more background on this? Keep the feedback coming!

[@alanpaschoal7299]

@@TradingView Yes, the idea is to create an indicator that can be added to the chart when in footprint chart mode, in order to show divergence between the price movement and the DELTA. For example, price rising while DELTA is falling. This is an important divergence. The indicator could display the DELTA on the screen during price movements when divergences occur, making it possible to measure the strength of the divergence in terms of price and time.

[@alanpaschoal7299]

There are a few others indicador worth of having on a footprint chart, let me know you would to know more.

[@jivenhoe]

I think this feature won me over. Gotta get it. I wonder how the quality of the data feed is.

[@TradingView]

We love to hear this! Please ask us any questions or share your feedback as needed. Also, we've got some additional features coming so get ready.

[@girishsahni]

Hello, i am seeing volume candles too large covering the chart and there is a new column b on the right hand side. can u help removing this problem ?

Awesome lecture bro.

[@barnesd9]

Thank you. This was very informative.

[@davidbarth80]

So this is not bid ask footprint this based on volume on each levels?

[@wouter4744]

Great feature! Is there a way to only apply the IMBALANCE part to my charts? I don't need the rest.

[@TradingView]

With the settings menu, you can create a highly custom look & feel to accomplish the specific layout you want.

[@samer72il]

Hi, I just subscribed to premium to get the footprint chart. Can I get the Delta chart as well and how? Regards

[@Dixie_Normuss]

You can change footprint to delta instead of bid/ask in the symbol settings if this is what you mean.

[@Crispyhunter]

Is it support with Essential Package also ??

[@jbojos112]

The volume candlesticks make it on essential

[@prokurator.]

Hello / Tell me please / can this help determine the direction of the next candle? Can I set an alert for this? Like in a regular indicator?

[@m52trader]

Nothing will do that my friend. What you’re asking for is something to tell you the future. This is not that. What this does is helps you organize data to Understand the market behavior and market positioning. When knowing this info, you can come up with probabilities on if the market will go a certain direction on the next bar, but not ‘determine’ the direction. Good luck.

[@r1b7a23Trader]

hey Tradingview. how about buying the software for Liftetime?

[@doobiethedane8397]

how do I use the footprint chart with an 8 range chart? It only lets me select time based intervals. I want the footprint to appear on an 8range chart

[@cottondog3607]

This may not be the right place for this, but my feedback to TV would be to display the POC the same way you display VAL and VAL, with a little label and arrow off to the left of the footprint candle, rather then changing the color of the whole footprint bloc. Hope that makes sense. I am looking forward to trying this out.

[@TradingView]

We look forward to this kind of feedback! Please keep writing us. We'll take note of this and see what we can do. Also, be sure to subscribe as we have new videos daily and weekly.

​@@TradingViewHello I trade futures, to display the right footprint volume which liquidity provider should I choose? CME, NYMEX or CQG?

[@justincbu1]

What is going wrong when a default chart is saying "Histogram is too large, please increase Ticks Per Row in the settings window." It's on AUTO ATR of 14. It only occurs on the D or 24h timeframe for ticker NASDAQ:AMD. Other time frames such as 4h and Weekly work fine.

Hi trading view, the data feeds are taken from exchanges , pls tell me the source of data feed

good video but it still lacks layout customizability of the layout. please allow us to add bid x ask and delta per tick. thanks. (also a footer table containing delta max min %)

@TradingView Is it possible to display the volume statistics not below the candles, but at the bottom of the chart so that you can see everything at a glance? I have not found an indicator for this either. I hope you or someone else can help me.

[@TradingView]

Do you mean in a separate window altogether? Or still on the same window, but where the normal volume bars are located?

great thank you very educational

[@Tubbs_Trades]

Is this not on mobile?

[@Roberto_Irace]

Hello, is volume calculated by tick data?

[@bastiatwork9685]

Unfortunately not. That's why the chart is not usable for me at the moment, as the data does not correspond to the correct stock market data for BID and ASK. I have extreme discrepancies between TradingView and my volume software (with direct CME connection).

[@geekone6621]

So, how do we use it for an entry? Or exit? Or Stop?

[@TradingView]

That's going to come down to your research, goals, and strategy. However, can make a video with examples and use cases to give you some ideas. Stay tuned, we'll post it at some point.

[@tomtillman]

The numbers in the buy and sell columns are grossly inaccurate when compared to time and sales on the LBR symbol. All it gets right is the total number of trades.
