Yes. Partner code OFF gives -25% off the DeepCharts platform license during launch season. You enter it when activating the license, on DeepChart as well as DeepDom. The discount applies to the software license, not to the data feed or MBO depth, which are billed separately.
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 budget splits into three parts: the platform license, discounted 25% with code OFF; the data feed, from $19/month with dxFeed or $57/month with Rithmic; and MBO depth, $39/month on the CME plus $65/month for Eurex. Pricing is indicative.
DeepGamma is the gamma-exposure and option-flow module of DeepCharts. It renders market-maker gamma exposure (GEX Profile, GEX Heatmap, Gamma Bands) and option flow inside the same chart as futures order flow. It ships with the Pro plan only.
GEX is the net gamma exposure of market makers on an index's options. In positive GEX they buy dips and sell rallies, dampening volatility; in negative GEX they do the opposite and amplify moves. That hedging spills into the ES future.
On the DeepChart pricing page, DeepGamma is included in the Pro plan, around $94/month billed annually; the Orderflow ($50/mo) and Full ($67/mo) plans do not include it. DeepCharts also advertises the gamma suite from $46/month on its DeepGamma page. Checked 11 August 2026.
Yes, as context. Market makers selling SPX options hedge in the ES future: that flow is obligatory and lands on the contract. GEX shows where it should concentrate, not price direction — the entry is still decided by reading order flow.
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.
In MBP (Market By Price) you see a total per price level: 300 lots, with no idea who makes them up. In MBO (Market By Order) every order in the book is visible individually, so one large player is distinguishable from thirty small ones. That is what DeepCharts shows.
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.
A footprint opens each candle price by price and splits volume executed at market on the bid from volume executed on the ask. You read delta, imbalances and absorption points — who attacks and who absorbs, where a classic candle only shows the outcome.
Start with a single liquid instrument, NQ or ES, and a single read: delta and absorption at range extremes. Add the liquidity heatmap only once you read the footprint correctly. Tick-by-tick replay lets you train on real sessions without putting capital at risk.
Yes. Eurex publishes MBO depth on the FDAX, which allows the same order-by-order read as on the CME. DeepCharts displays it with a Eurex depth subscription, billed around $65/month on top of the base feed. Few platforms offer it.
Not for everything. The build a prop firm bundles does not unlock the full indicator set of the complete license. To get every tool, including full MBO depth on the order book, you need your own license — discounted 25% with code OFF.
The decisive criterion is not the evaluation price but platform compatibility and drawdown rules. You need a firm that allows a DeepCharts connector (Rithmic or CQG) and a drawdown wide enough to hold a flow scalp. Our comparison details those rules firm by firm.
An iceberg is a large order sliced into small pieces: the book shows 20 lots, yet 500 trade at that price without the level giving way. In MBO you see the slice refill after each execution. DeepDom isolates that behaviour automatically.
Absorption is aggressive volume executing without moving price: buyers hit the offer, the offer takes it and the level holds. It is a more reliable reversal signal than high volume alone, because it shows a passive player accepting the entire flow.
Delta is the difference between volume executed at market on the ask and on the bid over a period. Cumulated, it gives CVD. A divergence — price rising while CVD falls — signals the move is carried by passive orders, not by buy aggression.
Few tools read the book order by order: Bookmap, Sierra Chart with the right module, Quantower and DeepCharts. We work on DeepCharts for the footprint-plus-heatmap combination in a single license and for Eurex MBO depth, which is rare on the FDAX.
DeepCharts connects through Rithmic, CQG or dxFeed. The base feed provides executions; an MBO read additionally requires a depth subscription billed by the exchange: about $39/month for the CME and $65/month for Eurex. Without depth there is no order-by-order heatmap.
OFF is the OrderFlowFutures partner code. It unlocks two independent discounts: at prop firm Phidias, up to -80% depending on the account type; at DeepCharts, -25% off the platform license. One code to remember for both costs a futures trader faces.
At Phidias, code OFF automatically applies the best current discount: -60% on monthly challenges, -50% on Express to Live, -80% on one-time-payment accounts. Other firms run their own codes, which we keep up to date on our dedicated page.
Three levers, in this order: apply a promo code at checkout, which often cuts 50 to 80% of the price; pick a one-time-payment account over a monthly subscription if the evaluation may drag on; and size your risk to avoid paying for a reset.
A prop firm funds traders: you pay for an evaluation, prove you can hit profit targets without breaching a drawdown, then trade a funded account and keep 80 to 90% of the profits. The capital at risk stays the firm's, not yours.
An EOD drawdown recomputes on the closing balance: intraday gains do not lift the limit, so giving back a winner will not eliminate you. An intraday trailing drawdown follows the session high and punishes any pullback. For flow scalping, EOD is far more workable.
The evaluation is a real cost, not refunded if you fail, and most candidates do fail. The upside is still real: a few dozen euros buy access to capital you would not put up yourself. Treat it as a risky investment, not as guaranteed income.
OrderFlowFutures publishes free French guides on footprint charts, liquidity heatmaps and prop firms, a journal of annotated NQ, ES and FDAX sessions, and runs a French-speaking Discord community. Every read is done on DeepCharts and DeepDom.
A standard candle tells you four things: open, high, low, close. The footprint opens the candle and shows the volume actually traded at each price, split between aggressive buying (at the ask) and aggressive selling (at the bid). It's the difference between seeing that price moved and seeing why it moved.
The footprint shows what was executed; the heatmap shows what is waiting to be. It turns the book into a picture: every resting limit order, colored by size, stacked over time. You see liquidity walls form, hold or vanish before price reacts to them.
Delta is the difference between volume executed as aggressive buying (at the ask) and aggressive selling (at the bid) over a period. Positive, buyers dominate; negative, sellers. CVD (cumulative delta) sums that balance over time into a pressure curve.
An iceberg order is a large order a player doesn't want to show: it's displayed in small slices that reload on each fill, to hide its true size. To the naked eye you only see a small order that 'refuses to disappear.'
An imbalance appears when aggressive volume on one side vastly outweighs the opposite side at the adjacent price — typically a 3-to-1 ratio or more, diagonally. It signals one side taking control with force; stacked, they form a 'stacked imbalance,' a continuation signal.
The tape is the stream of trades scrolling by. Speed of Tape measures its pace: how many executions per second, and at what intensity. A calm market ticks trades off; a market under tension fires them in bursts. Volume says how much; speed says with what urgency.
Not every execution carries the same weight: a 200-lot print doesn't mean the same thing as a handful of retail trades. Spotting large activity — the players who actually move the market — is at the heart of reading order flow.
The DOM (Depth of Market, or order book) is the vertical price ladder that shows, at each level, the size of resting limit orders on the buy and sell sides. It's the rawest view of liquidity — the one where tick-precise timing plays out.
A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a 'skipped' price zone: when the market moves so fast it leaves a hole in the structure — typically an impulse candle whose body creates a gap between the preceding and following candles. It's a price where trading was lopsided, an inefficiency.
Most trend indicators are computed on past price and lag the market. The idea behind Deep-M Effort is to judge trend by the real effort injected into the flow — the aggression that pushes (or doesn't) price — to tell a genuine impulse from a mere drift.
The volume profile flips the view: instead of volume over time, it shows volume by price. It surfaces the POC (point of control, the most-traded price), the value area (where most trading happened) and low-volume gaps. These are the reference levels the market likes to revisit.
You don't improve at order flow without repetition. Deep Replay replays past market exactly as it happened — every order and every liquidity change, to the tick and the second — to train your reading of the flow without risking a cent.
Every trader ends up spotting recurring setups ('when X and Y happen together, price does Z'). The hard part is objectifying them: is it a real edge or an illusion? Deep Pattern Builder is for turning those intuitions into rules and testing them on history.
A stop run (or stop hunt) is a fast sweep of liquidity beyond an obvious level, designed to trigger the stops piled there — then often reverse. Retail gets stopped out at the worst moment; big players collect the liquidity thus released.
When a market maker sells an option they aren't betting on direction: they hedge by buying or selling futures. Gamma measures how fast that hedge must be readjusted. The GEX Profile stacks this exposure strike by strike, like a volume profile: the call wall above, the put wall below, and the zero-gamma level separating the two regimes.
The GEX Profile is a photograph: exposure at one moment. The heatmap is the film. It paints colored blocks on the price chart at each level: cool tones where dealers are long gamma at that price — their hedging dampens the move —, warm tones where they are short gamma — their hedging amplifies it. Color intensity gives the strength of the exposure.
Gamma Bands turn gamma exposure into a pair of boundaries drawn around price. While the market trades inside them, dealer hedging works against the move: it absorbs. When a boundary gives way, the same mechanic flips and starts pushing in the direction of the break. The band isn't a magic level: it's the frontier between two volatility regimes.
A large option flow leaves a trace before the index moves. Option Big Flows marks trades whose premium exceeds a threshold you set — one million dollars by default — with a simple visual language: shape says call or put, fill says opening or closing a position, color says buy or sell. You watch institutional tickets print alongside your futures order flow.
Option prices contain a forecast: the move the market expects out to a given expiration. Expected Move turns it into a band around price. It isn't a direction call, it's an order of magnitude — the distance the market currently considers normal, beyond which a move becomes statistically unusual.
Codes in force, checked on this page's update date: Phidias Propfirm → code OFF. The code applies when buying the evaluation, on the firm's own site. For the order-flow platform, code OFF gives -25% off the DeepCharts license.
DeepCharts is included at Phidias Propfirm. It can be used as an option, with your own license, at MyFundedFutures. Careful: the build a firm bundles does not unlock every indicator — the full license is bought separately, with -25% via code OFF.
Few firms open Eurex: in our catalogue, Phidias Propfirm. The rest stop at the CME. It is a decisive criterion if you want to trade the FDAX, whose MBO depth is read with DeepCharts through the Eurex subscription, around $65 a month.
At entry level: Phidias Propfirm from $30 and MyFundedFutures from $80. The sticker price matters less than the real cost: a promo code can cut 50 to 80%, and a drawdown rule that is too tight makes you pay for resets that quickly exceed the initial saving.
Phidias Propfirm splits profits at 80% (up to 100% on Premium), with a end-of-day or static — never intraday trailing drawdown, from 30 $ per evaluation. Access to the DeepCharts order-flow platform is included there. Markets available: CME, Eurex. Promo code in force: jusqu'à -80 % avec le code OFF.
MyFundedFutures splits profits at 80/20 (up to 90/10 on Rapid), with a trailing / EOD (plan-dependent) drawdown, from 80 $ per evaluation. Access to the DeepCharts order-flow platform is available as an option there. Markets available: CME. No promo code running at this firm right now.
