The problem

A standard candle hides who's actually trading.

OHLC tells you where price went — not whether buyers absorbed sellers, where the volume stacked, or who got trapped.

✕

Same candle, different story

A green bar can be aggressive buying or sellers being absorbed. Without bid vs ask volume per price you're guessing at the one thing that matters.

✕

You can't see where price agreed

Value area, point of control, single prints — the structure pros trade around is invisible on a line or candle chart. You react late to levels that were obvious on a profile.

✕

Delayed, resampled data lies

Snapshot feeds blur the tape. By the time a stop-run or a large lot shows up, the move is already gone — you needed it tick-by-tick.

Built for order flow

See inside every candle — and read the structure around it.

Five core tools that turn raw tick data into a read on who's in control: footprint cells, cumulative delta, imbalance signals, market profile and volume profile.

01 · Footprint cells

Bid vs ask volume on every print.

Standard candles hide who's actually trading. Footprint cells split each bar into price levels and show buy / sell volume side-by-side — absorption, exhaustion and stop runs visible as they form.

  • Per-level bid vs ask volume + delta inside every candle
  • Imbalance highlights at 3:1 / 5:1 / custom thresholds
  • POC line tracks the heaviest-traded price live

Bid vs ask volume on every print.
02 · Cumulative delta (CVD)

Track institutional positioning live.

CVD sums net buying minus selling across the session. Divergence between price and CVD calls out distribution or accumulation hours before the index turns.

  • Live cumulative delta across NIFTY, BANKNIFTY & all FNO futures
  • Price ÷ CVD divergence — spot trapped buyers / sellers early
  • Per-day reset for a clean intraday read across sessions

03 · Imbalance & signals

The tape's tells, flagged automatically.

Reading imbalance by eye is slow and easy to miss. The chart marks diagonal buy/sell imbalances, stacked zones and the six classic footprint extreme patterns the moment they print.

  • Diagonal buy & sell imbalances at your chosen ratio
  • Stacked-imbalance zones flagged as support / resistance
  • 6 extreme-pattern signals + delta-divergence (▲DIV / ▼DIV) tags

04 · Market Profile / TPO

Find where price agreed to trade.

Value area, point of control and single prints — the structure professional locals trade around is invisible on a candle chart. Auto-built TPO draws it live as the day forms.

  • Composite + per-day TPO with letter/session lettering
  • VAH / VAL / POC levels drawn live, with single-print excess
  • Naked POCs from prior sessions flagged on the chart

05 · Volume Profile

The horizontal shape of conviction.

Where the volume stacked is where price will fight to return. Volume Profile builds a per-price histogram so high-volume nodes and thin air-pockets jump off the chart.

  • Per-price volume histogram — high-volume nodes & low-volume gaps
  • Value area + POC by traded volume, not just time
  • Pair MP and VP together for accepted vs transacted price

Straight off the tape

Real ticks, real structure — read it like a local on the floor.

A direct WebSocket feed, OI context and a full Time & Sales tape sit beside every chart, so the signal and the proof are one glance apart.

Live tick feed

Every print, the moment it happens.

Direct WebSocket from the exchange — sub-second latency on every tick, every level. No delay, no resampling, no second-guessing what the tape did. Large institutional-size lots are flagged as they cross.

  • Tick-by-tick bid / ask trade aggregation into footprint cells
  • Time & Sales tape with large-lot highlighting
  • OI, buy-vol / sell-vol and bar delta read together in context

Questions

Everything else you might ask.

Which instruments are covered?

NIFTY and BANKNIFTY plus FNO futures across NSE's NFO segment — index and stock futures — with footprint, market & volume profile and cumulative delta on each. Session-based indicators reset at 9:15 IST every day.

Do I need a broker account?

No. Footprint Charts is a data and analytics product — it reads live order flow off the exchange feed, it doesn't place orders. Your 7-day free trial unlocks the full app with nothing to connect.

What is a footprint chart?

A footprint chart splits each candle into price levels and shows the bid vs ask volume traded at each — so you see who traded (aggressive buyers or sellers), not just where price went.

What is CVD (cumulative delta)?

CVD is the running total of buying volume minus selling volume across the session; when it diverges from price it flags hidden accumulation or distribution before the turn.

How fresh is the data?

A direct WebSocket feed delivers ticks at sub-second latency — every print, every level, no resampling — so footprint cells, the Time & Sales tape and CVD update live during market hours.

Is there a free trial, and do I need a card?

Yes — 7 days of full access, no credit card required. Create an account and your first login activates the trial automatically.

Is this investment advice?

No. FNOTrader is a technology product, not a SEBI-registered investment adviser or research analyst. The footprint, profiles, signals and reports are decision-support data for informational and educational use only — not a recommendation to buy or sell. Please consult a SEBI-registered adviser before acting, and trade at your own discretion.
