ChartsPod Footprint Volume Filters: Market Coverage and Data Limits Explained

Footprint volume filters hide small trades or highlight cells above a threshold. Thresholds that fit one market can hide everything on another.

Short answer

Volume filters in a footprint (minimum trade size included, or highlight cells above X) change what's visible. Set thresholds relative to the market's typical trade and cell volume, confirm the market's footprint coverage in ChartsPod, and record filters with any screenshot. A filter that removes small trades also changes delta and imbalance calculations if applied at the data level rather than display level — check which.

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.
