It's called Order Book. When trading Futures on the NinjaTtrader Platform your get that on your screen if you want to use it. Never really could benefit from that as one can see large orders placed and then suddenly disappear i.e. simply manipulating the market.
You can see in my main chart that the depth of market is coded into it. It only gives you a glimpse of how market makers are spoofing the market up and down. Iceberg orders are hidden since they are executed in small tranches. To be a consistent trader you should know how the algorithm act since you are against a super computer at high frequency trading which we are talkng about nano seconds. I know people who work for being quant trader for the biggest hedge fund where they pay 1,200,000 euros anually to get the best server in new york stock exchange because the competition in the big floor today is all about speed, if youre a milisecond late on executing that order your competition lose. Anyway, The Footprint is only 5% of the decision making. You need to have context, rythm where other institutions find value on other tools. Best regards
