Volume footprint charts reveal what’s really happening inside each bar — showing where buyers and sellers are most active and how order flow develops across price levels.
Now the charts have become even more powerful: you can set alerts directly on footprint events and get notified the moment key order flow signals appear.
We’ve added four alert conditions that capture the most important imbalance patterns:
- New buy imbalance — when new buying pressure emerges at a price level
- Stacked buy imbalance — when several consecutive buy imbalances appear across multiple levels
- New sell imbalance — when new selling pressure forms at a level
- Stacked sell imbalance — when multiple sell imbalances align to the downside
In addition, you can create standard alerts on Volume Delta, Total Buy Volume, and Total Sell Volume using comparison, channel-based, or movement operators.
To set an alert, simply open the alert menu, choose Footprint as the condition and select one of the options from the dropdown menu.
Each condition triggers an alert with a clear, automatic message, so you’ll instantly know when aggressive buyers or sellers are taking control.
We hope this update will help you have more control over your analysis and better understand market movements. Let us know what you think — your feedback helps us improve the platform.
