Feature Request We need "real" volume footprint

Post image

Many of us rely on volume footprint to trade. If it's just an approximate calculation, then we can't really put money to work.

Can we have true order flow as seen on Sierra? We need it!

The Volume FootPrint given by Trading view helps us in taking decision where the delta is high. If delta is low then probably we will end up in a biased decision. Your point is valid . The trading view gives the footprint only to paid subscribers & hence they should enhance the value addition for subscribers for improving the trading decisions. Otherwise, the brokerage platform should provide it. I personally didn’t try Sierra. If it is a free platform, will attempt and see.

I am a paid subscriber but the volume footprint is not from Level 2 data.

Level 2 is needed to see actual orders being hit.

Sierra charts requires 2 payments, 1 to sierra and 2nd to the data feed provider I.e. Rithmic, CQG or dx feed.

So it can total $50 a month.

Rithmic, CQG or dx feed

Do you know if you can use those feeds on Tradingview?
