Footprint Chart Overview
A Footprint Chart is a type of chart that provides a detailed view of certain information such as Traded Volume, Aggressive Buying/Selling Activity (Ask/Bid Volume) and Delta at each price level. This enhanced view into what occurred inside the bar enables traders to see and interpret Orderflow information that are not available on a conventional price chart. Additionally, the Bar Information Table summarizes various information gathered from each bar in a tabular format.
