Order flow, levels, and context. One calm chart.
BASALT Charts puts footprint order flow, automatic session levels, market context, sound alerts, and paper trading in a browser tab, with real-time market data included.
See who is in control inside every candle.
BASALT draws executed buying and selling at each price inside the bar, then backs it up with exact numbers when you need them. On futures and Binance crypto perpetuals, order-flow tools load the full session's trade history when you open a chart.
Trade Heatmap
Six views of the volume inside each candle: Total Volume, Delta, Buy/Sell Split, Total with delta coloring, Buy, or Sell. Show it as a volume profile, a TPO profile, or both.
Bid/Ask Rails
A footprint of sell and buy volume at every price, with the bar's Point of Control and diagonal imbalances. Stacked imbalances stand out at the ratio you choose.
Cluster Statistics
A per-candle table under the chart with Delta, Session Delta, Volume, and Session Volume, plus optional Ask and Bid rows. Show percentages or raw numbers.
Cumulative Volume Delta
Follow accumulated buying minus selling in a lower pane. CVD resets at the session open and counts the full session when history is available.
Volume under every candle
Total Volume and Volume Delta bars sit beneath each candle on the same scale, with an optional moving average. Switch to rings, or hide them.
Live tick numbers
Show incoming buy and sell volume next to the forming candle, split or combined, so the latest push is visible before the bar closes.
The levels that matter, drawn for you.
Key Levels, volume zones, and defended prices draw themselves on the chart and update as the session develops, so you don't have to mark them by hand every morning.
Key Levels
Day, week, month, quarter, and year opens; previous highs, lows, and mids; prior RTH high, low, and close; overnight range; opening range; initial balance; and the session POC and value area. Filter by the Asia, London, or New York session.
Volume Zones
High Volume Nodes and Low Volume Gaps from a rolling volume profile, labeled by strength and kept on the chart until price breaks them.
Defense Pulse
Marks price zones where buyers or sellers keep defending, built from live trades. Each zone counts its bounces and shows the level that breaks it.
VWAP
The session's volume-weighted average price, reset at the instrument's real session open. Choose the electronic or regular session.
Range volume profile
Drag across any range to build a profile with buy and sell rows, POC, and value area. Turn on continual mode to keep it extending into the live bar.
Know the conditions. Hear the moment.
Context panels summarize the market at a glance, and order-flow signals can play a sound the moment they trigger, even from a background tab.
Market Regime
Classifies the market as Trend Up, Trend Down, Chop, or Transition, with directional bias, movement state, and a trend score. Built from ADX, choppiness, EMAs, VWAP slope, and range expansion.
Absorption Wick
Flags candles whose wick holds most of the bar's traded volume, where aggressive orders ran into a wall. Filter by direction, and wait for the close or signal early.
Sentiment Tracker
Compares live price direction with normalized volume delta, so agreement, divergence, and fading conviction are visible as they happen.
Sound alerts
Absorption Wick, Defense Pulse, Market Regime, Hull Trend Ribbon, and candlestick patterns can each play a sound. Upload your own MP3 or WAV clips and set one volume for everything.
Alerts that keep up
Alerts fire for every chart in your layout and keep working while the tab is in the background. They don't fire in bursts after a reconnect.
Bar timer
A countdown to the candle close with warning and critical colors, plus an optional sound a few seconds before the bar ends.
Sketch the setup once. Let the chart find it.
Draw the candles you want to catch, or start from a classic, and BASALT marks every bar sequence that matches as each candle closes, with a score for how close it came.
Sketch up to eight candles
Drag the open, high, low, and close handles of each candle, or nudge them with the arrow keys. Prices are a share of the pattern's range, so one sketch works at any price.
13 starter patterns
Start from Hammer, Doji, Bullish engulfing, Inside bar, Morning star, Three soldiers, Rising three methods, and more, then reshape them to fit your read.
Tolerance and size
Set how far each price may drift from the sketch. Match on shape alone, or require the move to be at least one ATR so small, quiet bars don't qualify.
Mirror matching
One sketch can find both sides. Flip on mirror matching to catch the bearish version of a bullish pattern, drawn in its own color.
Scored matches
Each match gets a box around its candles, an arrow at the bar that completed it, and a score from its closest fit, across the chart's loaded history.
Pattern alerts
Play a sound when a bar closes that completes a pattern, with separate sounds for mirrored matches and a minimum score so weaker matches stay quiet.
The classics, laid out with the flow.
Familiar indicators sit alongside the order-flow tools. Lower panes can be moved, resized, collapsed, or maximized, and compact gauges give you a reading without taking a pane.
Moving averages
Add as many SMAs and EMAs as you need, each with its own period and color.
Supertrend and Hull Trend Ribbon
A volatility-adjusted trend line, plus a smoothed Hull ribbon (HMA, EHMA, or THMA) that colors by direction and can sound when the trend flips.
Bollinger Bands
Compare price with its average and recent variability, with an adjustable fill.
RSI and MACD panes
Historical RSI and MACD with signal line and histogram, in lower panes with automatic or manual scaling.
RSI, ADX, and ATR gauges
Compact readouts of momentum stretch, trend strength, and typical range in dollars and ticks.

Timeframes from 15 seconds
Switch between 15s, 30s, 1m, 2m, 3m, 5m, and 10m in one click, or add custom intervals in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months.

Snapshots
Copy a crisp, watermarked image of any chart to your clipboard, ready to post or journal.
Touch support
BASALT is built for desktop browsers, but on a tablet you can still pan, pinch to zoom, and draw by touch.
Practice the setup before you size it.
Paid plans include a simulated account inside the chart. Rehearse entries, brackets, and evaluation-style rules on live data without risking a real account.
Simulated account
Starts at $50,000 by default. Set your own starting balance and reset whenever you like.
Evaluation mode
Add a profit target and a max loss. When either is hit, open orders are canceled, positions are flattened, and the account locks, just like an evaluation.
Market, limit, and brackets
Attach take-profit and stop-loss in ticks or dollars, preview the P&L, and right-click the chart for a quick limit order.
On-chart trade lines
Entry, take-profit, and stop-loss lines sit on the chart with P&L labels. Drag them to adjust.
Full trade log
Positions, working orders, recent fills, order history, realized and unrealized P&L, and Flatten All.
Never routes live orders
Paper trading is simulated. BASALT doesn't connect to your broker or prop-firm account; live orders stay in your trading platform.
Real-time data in the box.
Every paid plan includes real-time exchange data streamed tick by tick over WebSockets. There are no feed accounts, exchange-fee forms, or API keys to set up.
Futures, crypto, and more
Search CME futures, spot, perpetual, and dated crypto contracts across major exchanges, plus stocks, ETFs, and forex. Results show the exchange and contract type.
Tick-by-tick updates
Charts and order-flow tools update with each trade, and charts backfill automatically after a dropped connection.
Full-session history
On futures and Binance crypto perpetuals, order-flow indicators load the full session's trade history when you open a chart, not just the trades since you arrived.
Live newsfeed on Max
Headlines with source, time, and the symbols they mention, with optional preview pop-ups.
All 21 indicators.
Search and add them from one drawer beside the live chart. Each one has its own settings, can be hidden or removed, and is saved with your workspace.
