See who’s aggressive at every price, not just where price went.

Three steps. Five minutes to a footprint chart.

Four layers of order-flow context, on one chart.

Single imbalance

Spot a lopsided level the instant it prints.

Imprint Flow uses diagonal comparisons: ask volume at one price is compared with bid volume one tick lower, and vice versa. The ratio is configurable; the shipped default of 0.35 is evaluated as approximately 2.86:1. The benefit: you see the exact prices where executed volume was materially lopsided without counting cells by hand.

Single imbalance

Stacked imbalance

Stacked imbalance

See where same-side imbalances form a stack.

Imprint Flow groups same-side imbalance levels using a configurable stack length and optional gap handling; the shipped defaults use three levels and allow one skipped price. The benefit: you get a clean visual of where aggressive trading concentrated across a run of prices.

Absorption

Highlight volume behavior that can be consistent with absorption.

When aggressive buying near a high or aggressive selling near a low meets limited price progress, Imprint Flow can mark that behavior in the footprint. The benefit: potential absorption context is easier to review with price response and delta. A marker does not prove participant intent or predict a reversal.

Absorption

Per-bar & cumulative delta

Per-bar + cumulative delta

Net delta, delta %, and volume under every bar.

A colour-coded statistics grid sits beneath each bar (net delta, delta percentage and total volume), with cumulative delta tracked across the session. The benefit: concrete numbers you can read at a glance, not an abstract oscillator to interpret.

One indicator. The whole order-flow toolkit.

Imprint Flow shows you the flow. It will never tell you what to trade. But if you want to see how these structures are built — and where each one is invalidated — we wrote it all down, free.

We don’t have testimonials yet. Here’s the truth instead.

Imprint is new. We could fill this section with glowing quotes from “NQ day trader” and you would have no way to check a single one of them. Plenty of people in this industry do exactly that. We would rather just tell you where we actually stand.
