General Features
Core system settings that define how data is processed, visualized, and structured across all footprint and volume‑based tools.
Foundational Data & Processing Settings
The general settings control how raw market data is collected, cleaned, and transformed into the footprint and volume‑based structures used throughout the platform. These options define the precision, timing, and behavior of every analytical module.
Tick Source: Choose between native MT5 ticks or alternative data feeds.
Tick Mode: Automatically adapt to market conditions or enforce a fixed processing mode.
Price Movement Logic: Select raw or cleaned price movement to filter noise and micro‑fluctuations.
Price Cleaning: Apply minimum‑movement filters to stabilize footprint structure.
Bucket Height: Define the vertical resolution of price buckets for footprint and volume calculations.
Start Time Control: Shift the session start dynamically for custom historical analysis.
Footprint Display & Custom Candle Settings
These settings determine how footprint candles are drawn, how time is structured, and how volume is represented inside each candle. They form the visual backbone of the footprint chart.
Footprint Display Mode: Choose between total volume, delta, bid × ask, or percentage‑based modes.
Custom Time Axis: Build candles using custom time logic instead of exchange timestamps.
Candle Width & Gap: Adjust spacing and proportions for optimal readability.
Footprint Text Colors: Configure bid‑dominant, ask‑dominant, and neutral text tones.
Footprint Fill Colors: Customize bid/ask rectangle fills and volume bar colors.
Heatmap Configuration
Global heatmap settings define how volume, delta, and bid/ask intensity are visualized inside each footprint candle.
Heatmap Mode: Switch between Volume, Delta, or Bid/Ask intensity maps.
Adaptive Delta Scaling: Blend delta with volume for more accurate pressure visualization.
Color Mapping: Configure low/high colors for volume, delta, and bid/ask modes.
Market Structure Layers
Several global analytical layers enhance the footprint by highlighting structural behavior, liquidity, and orderflow anomalies.
Fight/Calm Zones: Identify high‑intensity battles and low‑activity calm periods.
Stacked Imbalance: Highlight directional pressure across consecutive price levels.
Absorption: Detect areas where aggressive orderflow is absorbed by passive liquidity.
Price Rejection: Mark levels where price sharply rejects due to lack of interest or counter‑pressure.
Candle Options
Candle settings define how traditional candlesticks are drawn alongside the footprint, providing an additional layer of context.
Candle Colors: Configure bull, bear, and doji colors.
Candle Width & Wick Width: Adjust proportions for clarity.
POC per Candle: Display the most traded price level inside each candle.
VAH/VAL per Candle: Show micro‑value areas inside each candle.
Session & Time Controls
Session settings allow you to align the chart with specific market sessions or custom time windows.
Session Mode: Switch between EU, US, AS, or custom session definitions.
Time Axis Background: Customize the appearance of the time axis.
Time Axis Text & Line Colors: Improve readability in different chart themes.
Pixel & Scaling Controls
These settings define how price buckets are scaled visually, ensuring consistent footprint geometry across different zoom levels.
Pixels per Pricelevel: Control vertical scaling for footprint and volume profile.
Dynamic Scaling: Automatically adjust scaling for Bookmap‑style clarity.
Debug & Live Mode Tools
Debug settings provide insight into internal behavior during development or advanced analysis.
Live Tick Debug: Display raw tick information in real time.
Bucket Debug: Visualize bucket boundaries and internal structures.
