TradingView vs ChartsPod for Footprint Row Resolution: Feature Coverage

Footprint row size decides how many price levels a candle shows. TradingView documents an automatic row size and a manual ticks-per-row setting.

Short answer

TradingView's volume footprint guide describes row size as either automatic (based on ATR, documented as 0.2 × ATR) or a manual number of ticks per row, and notes the footprint uses intrabar data and can repaint on the live bar. Smaller rows show more detail but thinner numbers; larger rows aggregate. ChartsPod lists footprint among its order-flow tools; check its row-size control in the terminal. For comparisons, set the same row size in dollars on the same venue.

Why it matters

Imbalances and POC depend on row size: two adjacent rows merged can hide a 300% imbalance or create one. Fix row size before comparing sessions.
