## What this page answers

### What is DeepDom?

DeepDom is the order-book and heatmap module of DeepCharts. It shows resting liquidity order by order (MBO), refreshed every 0.01 second, with iceberg detection and stop-run detection. It is the tool we use to read liquidity walls before they move.

### How do you read a liquidity heatmap?

You read three things: dense zones, where liquidity piles up and slows price; walls that keep refilling, a sign of genuine absorption; and walls that vanish as price approaches, a sign of spoofing. Colour encodes size, the horizontal axis encodes time.

### What is spoofing in trading?

Spoofing means posting large orders with no intention of executing them, to fake pressure, then canceling as price approaches. The practice is banned on regulated markets. On an MBO heatmap, a wall that repeatedly vanishes as price gets close betrays that behavior: the opposite of genuine absorption.

### What is a stop run (stop hunt)?

A stop run is a fast push into a zone where stops cluster, below an obvious low, above a high, to trigger their execution and take the liquidity. Price often snaps straight back into the range. On the heatmap, the targeted zone shows up as the liquidity resting around those levels.

## Verifiable facts

- Partner code OFF applies the best discount available on the DeepCharts platform license, up to -25% depending on the plan during launch season. You enter it when you activate the license.
- The same code OFF applies at prop firm Phidias: -60% on monthly challenges, -50% on Express to Live challenges and -80% on one-time-payment accounts.
- 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.
- 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.
- DeepCharts pricing has three parts: the platform license (up to -25% with code OFF), the data feed (dxFeed from $19/mo, Rithmic from $57/mo) and MBO depth ($39/mo on CME, +$65/mo on Eurex). Indicative pricing.
- 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.
