Order flow basics: the beginner course

Module 06 · 6 · The footprintLesson 30 of 658 min🔒 Students only

Footprint modes and the DeepChart workspace

The bid × ask format is only one way of displaying a footprint. Depending on the question you are asking, other modes are easier to read: the delta at each price, the total volume at each price, or a combination of the three. Experienced traders switch modes depending on the market; a beginner is better off mastering two and sticking to them.

This lesson presents the main modes, then the complete order flow workspace that DeepCharts supplies as a template.
