AATFootprint — Precision Order Flow Visualization for NinjaTrader 8
AATFootprint transforms raw bid/ask volume into a detailed visual narrative of market intent. Built for professional traders, it fuses classic footprint analysis with advanced imbalance clustering, dynamic support/resistance levels, and on-chart real-time controls for instant tuning.
🎯 The Ultimate Footprint Experience
Every price level, every tick, every imbalance — clearly exposed. AATFootprint reveals the hidden aggression of buyers and sellers through:- High-resolution Bid × Ask footprint cells
- Real-time imbalance highlighting
- Dynamic support/resistance zones formed by clustered imbalances
- Interactive slider controls for fast, fluid calibration
- Optimized rendering for OneTick and high-frequency data
Designed to run seamlessly on live charts — no reloads required for fine-tuning.
🔍 Multi-Mode Visualization
Choose how you see the flow:- Bid × Ask split cells — traditional two-column layout
- Volume per side — intuitive bar representation
- Delta + Volume overlay — highlights directional conviction
- Delta-only view — minimalist aggression map
⚖️ Smart Imbalance Detection
Spot market imbalances where they actually matter. AATFootprint dynamically detects buy/sell dominance using customizable filters:- Imbalance ratio — configurable threshold (e.g. 1.5×, 2×, 3×)
- Minimum volume filter — ignore low-liquidity noise
- Buy/Sell color coding — separate hues for each side
- Strength-based shading — brighter tones for stronger pressure
🧠 Adaptive Support & Resistance Levels
Imbalance zones are automatically clustered and combined into meaningful S/R levels. Sequential imbalances form solid “heat zones” where volume stacked aggressively.Strength Calculation Modes
Pick your analytical approach: - Max Imbalance Volume — strongest cell defines level strength - Average Volume — smooth, balanced weight - Summed Volume — measures cumulative intensity - Average Delta Volume — focuses on directional power Each method gives a unique lens on where real conviction resides.🎛️ Instant On-Chart Control
Fine-tune your chart in seconds — no indicator reloads. AATFootprint provides sleek slider controls for the most critical parameters:| Slider | Description |
