A Footprint Chart shows the buy and sell volume traded at each price inside every candle. It exposes the order flow that a normal candle hides.
How traders use it
- Spot absorption where large volume fails to move price.
- Imbalances highlight aggressive one-sided trading.
- Used by order-flow traders for precise entries.
