Description of the "Footprint Chart" Indicator
This indicator is an approximation of a true **Footprint Chart** adapted for TradingView, which does not provide access to tick-by-tick data or detailed order book information. It relies on **heuristics** to estimate the distribution of volume between buyers and sellers for each candlestick.
Key Features:
- Estimation of Buy/Sell Volume:
The indicator splits the total volume of a candlestick into two parts based on the candle's nature:
- For a bullish candle (close > open), it assumes that **60% of the volume** is executed on the ask (buys) and **40% on the bid** (sells).
- For a bearish candle (close < open), the estimation is reversed (40% buys, 60% sells).
- For a neutral candle (close = open), the volume is evenly distributed at 50% for each side.
- Calculation of a Simplified Delta:
The delta is defined as the difference between the estimated buy volume and sell volume. This delta helps quickly identify the dominant market pressure—positive for buyer dominance and negative for seller dominance.
- Visual Display:
- A label is placed on each candlestick displaying the delta value, with a green background for a positive delta (indicating buying pressure) and red for a negative delta (indicating selling pressure).
- A table in the top-right corner of the chart summarizes the estimated volumes for the current candle: buy volume, sell volume, and total volume.
#### How to Use the Indicator:
- Analyzing Buy/Sell Pressure:
By observing the label's color and the delta value, a trader can quickly assess whether the market shows a dominant buying or selling pressure during a given candle.
- Complementing Other Tools:
This indicator can be used alongside other technical analysis tools, such as the Volume Profile or trend indicators, to gain a more comprehensive understanding of market behavior.
- Supporting Decision Making:
By providing a visual estimate of the volume distribution, it can help identify divergences between price movement and volume activity, which may signal potential reversals or confirm ongoing trends.
Limitations:
- Heuristic Approximation:
The method of volume distribution is based on simple assumptions and does not reflect the actual order flow, which would require tick-by-tick data to be accurately represented.
- Data Limitations on TradingView:
Due to TradingView’s restrictions on accessing detailed order book data, this indicator can only approximate a Footprint Chart and does not replace specialized tools.
In summary, the "Footprint Chart" indicator provides a visual and quick estimation of the volume distribution between buyers and sellers for each candlestick, offering valuable insights into order flow dynamics while remaining aware of its heuristic limitations.
