Prop Firm Trading Chart Software

BASALT gives prop firm and short-term traders a browser-based market analysis workspace for reading pressure, heatmaps, live volume, and context before placing trades elsewhere — on any account type, evaluation or funded.

Market Analysis For Prop Firm Traders

BASALT is built for traders who want fast visual context, not another order-entry screen. The workflow is chart-first, browser-based, and focused on market structure.

Fast visual reads

Prop firm traders often need to decide quickly whether market context is clean enough to matter.

Pressure and context

Use market structure, heatmaps, wick absorption, sentiment, volume visuals, and regime context together.

Market data included

Paid BASALT plans include real-time exchange market data, so there is no second feed bill on top of evaluation and account fees.

Analysis, not execution

BASALT helps traders analyze market context. It does not place trades or replace a broker.

Workflow fit

Where BASALT Fits In Your Prop Firm Workflow

A prop firm workflow separates analysis, rules, execution, and review. BASALT sits in the analysis layer before and during a setup, while order placement stays in your broker or prop firm trading platform.

Firm by firm

Works Alongside Any Prop Firm's Platform

Because BASALT is browser-based and never touches your account, the workflow is the same no matter which firm funds you.

Trading a Topstep account?

Topstep traders execute in the platforms Topstep supports. BASALT runs in a separate browser tab as the market-context layer — regime, pressure, and heatmap reads — while orders stay in the firm's platform.

Trading a Apex Trader Funding account?

Apex traders keep execution in their firm-provided platform. BASALT sits alongside it as an independent visual read of volume concentration, absorption, and market regime.

Trading a MyFundedFutures account?

MyFundedFutures traders use whichever execution platform their plan provides. BASALT adds market structure and order-flow context in the browser without touching your account.

Trading a Tradeify account?

Tradeify traders can keep their evaluation or funded account workflow unchanged and use BASALT as a pre-trade and during-trade context screen for pressure and chop-versus-trend reads.

Trading a TakeProfitTrader account?

TakeProfitTrader traders execute where their firm requires. BASALT provides the visual analysis layer — heatmap, sentiment, and volume ticks — next to that platform.

Not affiliated: BASALT is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with Topstep, Apex Trader Funding, MyFundedFutures, Tradeify, TakeProfitTrader, or any proprietary trading firm. Firm names are used only to describe how independent analysis software fits alongside their platforms. Always follow your firm's current rules.

Discipline over impulse

Context That Supports Rule-Following

Prop firm accounts — evaluation or funded — are largely about discipline: following your firm's rules and avoiding low-quality conditions. BASALT' regime and chop context, pressure zones, and absorption reads exist to answer one question before you commit — is this market clean enough to matter right now?

Check regime and chop-versus-trend context before the session heats up.

Watch whether pressure is building, fading, or being absorbed during a setup.

Use the visual read to support patience instead of chasing every candle.

Practical Questions, Faster Visual Answers

BASALT was built out of the need for faster visual market reads during real prop firm trading. It is not a signal service and it does not promise outcomes; it is a visual analysis workspace for understanding context before and during trades.

Is the market clean or choppy?

Is pressure building, fading, or being absorbed?

Is this move already extended?

Where is volume concentrating around price?

Fast context

Read Pressure Before The Setup Gets Old

Use the Trade Heatmap, wick absorption, sentiment, volume tick visuals, and market regime context to inspect whether a market is clean, extended, rejecting, or building pressure.
