Window 4: the execution chart, on 1 minute

This is the window where you click. It has to be readable at a glance: the footprint, a statistics strip, a delta panel, and the large activity markers. Nothing else. This lesson sets up each of these elements for ES, then the detectors that are added to it without cluttering the reading.

Deep Prints, the footprint

The footprint opens up each candle price by price and separates the volume executed at the bid (aggressive selling) from the volume executed at the ask (aggressive buying). On DeepCharts, this breakdown is exact, timestamped to the tick, because it comes from MBO data.
