14 One-Click Layout Templates
Most indicators make you spend hours in the settings. We provide 14 pre-built layouts that change how your chart looks with a single click. Whether you want to see Bid/Ask volume, Delta (the difference between buying and selling), or a clean Volume Profile, it’s all ready for you.
Bid/Ask View
The classic footprint. See exactly how much was sold (left) and how much was bought (right) at every price.
Delta View
Shows you the "net" result. It tells you if there were more buyers or more sellers at each specific price.
Professional Color Themes
Switch between 6 coordinated color palettes. These themes update everything—from the numbers on your screen to the background highlights—ensuring your chart always looks clean and professional.
The "Busiest Price" (POC) & Value Area
The indicator automatically finds the Point of Control (POC)—the price where the most trading happened—and the Value Area, which is the range where 70% of the action took place. When these levels line up across multiple bars, they create powerful support and resistance zones.
POC Extensions: The indicator can draw lines from these busy levels into the future, showing you exactly where the market is likely to react again.
Daily Volume Profile
See the "big picture" for the entire day. This feature builds a profile on the side of your chart showing you where the most volume has accumulated since the market opened.
Footprint Summary Dashboard
Located at the bottom of every candle, this table gives you a quick snapshot of the bar's health. It tracks total volume, the buying/selling balance (Delta), and even how long each bar took to form.
Easy-Access Menu
Change your settings without ever leaving your chart. Our custom menu lets you toggle features on and off or switch templates instantly.
