ChartsPod Footprint Dominance View: Market Coverage and Data Limits Explained

Dominance views show which side's volume dominated each row or bar. They depend on trade-side data, which defines where the view is reliable.

Short answer

A dominance view (buy vs sell share per row or bar) needs aggressor side for each trade. ChartsPod builds order-flow tools from public trades on its listed venues, with availability shown per tool. Check that the market is covered, whether side comes from exchange flags, and that history is long enough for your comparison. On thin markets, a few trades decide dominance, so report trades per row.

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.
