## What this page answers

### What is Value Area (VAH / VAL)?

The price range where ~70% of volume traded: bounded by the VAH (high) and VAL (low). Price breaks yesterday's VAH and holds above → bullish acceptance. The value area frames where the market deemed price 'fair'.

## Verifiable facts

- Partner link OFF applies whatever discount DeepCharts is running and takes a further 10% off the yearly Orderflow and Full Advanced plans, a cut that appears on no public grid. It applies on its own when you follow the link: there is no code field anywhere in their checkout.
- At prop firm Phidias, code OFF entered at checkout automatically applies the best discount currently running on the product you picked: monthly challenge, Express to Live, one-time-payment account or 10K Challenge.
- Code OFF covers two separate costs for a futures trader: the evaluation at prop firm Phidias, and the license for the DeepCharts order-flow platform. At MyFundedFutures, the other partner prop firm, the code is VIPLAD.
- DeepCharts ships two products: DeepChart (footprint and order-flow charting) and DeepDom (liquidity heatmap and order book, refreshed every 0.01s).
- DeepCharts reads depth in MBO (Market By Order): every single order in the book is visible, versus a per-price-level total in MBP.
- Three parts: the platform license ($45/mo to $94/mo depending on plan), the data feed (dxFeed from $19/mo, Rithmic from $57/mo) and the MBO depth ($39/mo on CME, +$65/mo for Eurex). Prices checked 6 October 2026. Around $200/mo all in.
- DeepCharts covers the CME complex (NQ, ES, CBOT, COMEX, NYMEX) and Eurex (FDAX), through Rithmic, CQG or dxFeed, from a single platform.
- The DeepCharts build bundled by a prop firm is not the full license: it does not unlock every indicator. For the complete toolset you need your own license.
