Is DeepCharts worth it?
For a futures trader who reads order flow, yes, with two caveats. DeepCharts bundles the footprint, the MBO liquidity heatmap and a gamma module in one license, discounted up to 25% with code OFF. The caveats: Windows only, and a three-part budget (license, data feed, MBO depth) to count in full. Checked 17 August 2026.
What is DeepCharts?
DeepCharts is a futures order-flow platform published by deepcharts.com. It combines a footprint chart (DeepChart) and an order-book liquidity heatmap (DeepDom), both fed by order-by-order MBO data. It covers the CME complex and Eurex, connecting through Rithmic, CQG or dxFeed.
The verdict in short
DeepCharts is the platform our community works on, and this page is a partner review: we say so upfront (see our transparency page), and precisely because of that we owe you the caveats as much as the praise. The short version: if you trade futures and want to read the order book order by order, footprint plus heatmap plus gamma in one place, it is the strongest single-license package we have used. If you are on macOS, or not ready to pay for data on top of the license, it is not for you yet.
What you actually get
Three building blocks. DeepChart, the charting product: footprint, 80+ indicators including the proprietary models (Deep-M Effort, Deep Trades, Deep V-Tracker, Deep Profile), pattern builder and an order-by-order replay. DeepDom, the MBO liquidity heatmap and order book: icebergs, stop runs, order pulls, on CME and Eurex depth. And DeepGamma, the gamma-exposure and option-flow module computed on real Cboe participant data for SPX. Every tool has its own page in our DeepCharts pillar.
What we like, verified
The MBO read is the core of it: the book streamed order by order rather than aggregated levels, which is what iceberg detection and absorption walls actually require, and it covers Eurex depth on the FDAX, which few tools do. The replay stores your own MBO data locally and lets you backtest on it. DeepGamma brings the SPX gamma context into the same chart instead of a separate subscription. And the prop firm angle is real: Phidias bundles DeepCharts in its dashboard, so you can learn the read on a funded account.
What may put you off
Four things, none of them hidden. Windows only: no native macOS build. A real budget: the license is only one of three parts, and the data feed plus MBO depth can double the bill. A learning curve: if you have never read a footprint, start with our free order flow guide before paying for anything. And a young platform whose marketing sometimes shows teaser prices without their conditions; we keep our own pricing grid dated and verified instead.
The real budget
Checked on deepcharts.com on 17 August 2026, during launch season. License: Orderflow $59/mo, Full Advanced $79/mo (includes DeepGamma Classic), Pro $125/mo (full DeepGamma suite), discounted to $50, $67 and $94 with code OFF, which applies the best discount available (up to -25% depending on the plan). Data feed: dxFeed from $19/mo or Rithmic from $57/mo. MBO depth: $39/mo on CME, +$65/mo for Eurex. Full details and the code on the DeepCharts promo code page.
Who it is for, who it is not for
For you if you trade NQ, ES or FDAX intraday and want the order book itself as your edge, or if you are joining a prop firm that bundles it. Not for you if you swing trade off daily charts (you would pay for granularity you never use), if you are on macOS, or if the three-part budget stretches your account: in that case learn the theory free first, then come back.

FAQ
Is DeepCharts worth it?+
For a futures trader who reads order flow, yes, with two caveats. It bundles footprint, MBO liquidity heatmap and a gamma module in one license, discounted up to 25% with code OFF. The caveats: Windows only, and a three-part budget (license, data feed, MBO depth) to count in full.
What are DeepCharts' weak points?+
Windows only (no native macOS build), a real learning curve if you have never read a footprint, a younger platform than Bookmap or Sierra Chart, and marketing that sometimes displays teaser prices without their conditions. Count the full three-part budget before subscribing.
How much does DeepCharts really cost per month?+
Three parts: the license (Orderflow $59, Full Advanced $79, Pro $125, discounted to $50/$67/$94 with code OFF during launch season), the data feed (dxFeed from $19/mo or Rithmic from $57/mo), and the MBO depth ($39/mo on CME, +$65/mo for Eurex). Indicative prices, checked 17 August 2026.
DeepCharts or Bookmap?+
Both display a liquidity heatmap. Bookmap remains the historical reference with a large add-on marketplace; DeepCharts bundles footprint, MBO order book and the DeepGamma module in a single license and covers Eurex depth on the FDAX. Our full comparison covers prices and use cases.
