Imprint Flow renders bid/ask volume at every price level, flags single and stacked imbalances the moment they print, and tracks delta per bar and across the session. The order book stops being abstract.
Built by an 8-year NinjaTrader trader. Used live every day. Watches our own funded accounts.
A green candle means buyers won this bar. It does not tell you whether they bought into selling pressure that absorbed them, whether sellers ran out of inventory and gave up, or whether a single block trade tipped the bar's color without any real participation behind it.
Order flow shows the difference. Imprint Flow surfaces it cleanly: per-price bid/ask volume, the delta footprint of every bar, where imbalances printed and where they stacked, where absorption appeared at session highs and lows. You stop guessing about "why did this bar happen" and start reading it.
Every bar shows bid / ask volume at every price level it traded. Numbers sized for live reading; opacity and color scale with relative volume. Five display modes including HighLowBarCross, AboveBar, Box, BidAsk Center.
Single imbalances at the standard 2:1 (0.682) diagonal ratio. Stacked imbalances when 3+ levels in a row tilt the same direction. Absorption when one side eats the other at a high or low and the bar holds. Each event highlighted directly in the footprint.
Statistics grid at the bottom of every bar: net delta, delta percentage, total volume. Color-coded for direction. Cumulative delta tracked across the session. Numbers you can act on, not abstract oscillators.
Imprint Flow on a 31-Range NQ chart. Footprint volumes, single + stacked imbalances highlighted, per-bar delta in the grid at the bottom.
