Visual Order Flow Software for Futures Traders
BASALT Charts is browser-based futures order-flow software for visualizing traded volume, market pressure, delta, absorption, profiles, and market context. It supports analysis of futures such as NQ and ES, with real-time market data included on paid plans.
Order-Flow Charts Without A Wall Of Numbers
Order flow describes executed buying and selling around price. BASALT Charts keeps that evidence crawlable and understandable: spatial visuals provide the fast read, while cluster statistics provide bid, ask, volume, and delta detail.
Trade Heatmap
See where traded volume and order-flow pressure concentrate around price as visual depth and spatial structure.
Learn about the Trade HeatmapFootprint-style cluster data
Compare bid, ask, delta, volume, and session-running totals candle by candle when an exact numerical read matters.
Explore order-flow featuresDelta and absorption
Inspect aggressive buying and selling, then look for wick areas where pressure appears to stall, absorb, or reject.

Heatmap, Footprint Data, CVD, And Absorption
The Trade Heatmap shows where activity clusters around price. Footprint-style Cluster Statistics expose bid, ask, delta, volume, and session totals; Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) tracks the running balance of aggressive buy and sell volume; the Absorption Wick indicator highlights areas where pressure appears to be rejected.
- Compare price movement with session-based CVD.
- Switch Trade Heatmap views between total volume, delta, buy/sell split, buy, and sell activity.
- Use absorption as context, not as a promise or standalone trade signal.
TPO Profile, Volume Profile, POC, And Value Area
TPO Profile—also called Market Profile—organizes time spent at price. Volume Profile organizes traded volume by price. In BASALT Charts, TPO profiles live inside the Trade Heatmap, which can show a Volume, TPO, or Split profile, while the Range volume profile drawing tool provides fixed and continual ranges with Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), and Value Area Low (VAL).
Profiles describe where the auction developed; they do not predict an outcome. Combine them with current order flow and broader market context.

BASALT Charts runs in a modern desktop browser with no desktop installation. Keep it beside a broker or prop-firm execution platform while live order placement stays there; BASALT never routes live orders.

What is futures order-flow software?
Futures order-flow software visualizes how buying and selling activity develops around price. BASALT Charts combines heatmaps, footprint-style cluster statistics, delta, profiles, absorption, and market context in a browser-based analysis workspace.
Does BASALT Charts include footprint charts?
BASALT Charts provides footprint-style bid, ask, delta, and volume evidence through Cluster Statistics, Bid/Ask Rails, and chart overlays. Its Trade Heatmap emphasizes spatial order-flow patterns rather than presenting only a dense grid of numbers.
What profiles are available?
BASALT Charts includes TPO profiles, commonly called Market Profile, inside the Trade Heatmap, which can display a Volume, TPO, or Split profile. The Range volume profile drawing tool adds fixed and continual ranges with Point of Control, Value Area High, Value Area Low, and an adjustable value area percentage.
Can I use BASALT Charts for NQ and ES futures?
BASALT Charts supports futures analysis including NQ and ES within available market-data coverage. The free browser demos offer live NQ (1m) and Bybit SOLUSDT perpetual futures (5m) data so traders can inspect the workflow before subscribing.
Does BASALT Charts place live trades?
No. BASALT Charts is not a broker and never routes live orders. Paid plans include built-in paper trading with simulated funds for practicing setups, while traders run BASALT beside their broker or prop-firm platform and keep live order placement in that platform.
