ChartsPod Footprint Delta View: Market Coverage and Data Limits Explained

A delta footprint shows buy minus sell volume at each price. Its accuracy depends on trade-based side data and on whether the market is covered.

Short answer

ChartsPod lists footprint and CVD on its four venues, with availability shown per tool. A delta view displays buy-aggressor minus sell-aggressor volume per row; with side taken from exchange trade data it's exact, whereas estimated methods approximate it. Check the venue and contract, row size, history depth and whether the live candle is marked unfinished. Compare per-row delta with the candle's total delta for consistency.

Sources and methodology

ChartsPod lists footprint and cumulative delta among its order-flow tools (public pages, 17 October 2026). Its public documentation does not enumerate individual footprint view modes or settings, so this guide describes what each concept means and what to check in the terminal; control names may differ. Examples are illustrative.
