Watch one candle open into rows of bid and ask volume, with the busiest price marked.

Box settings

Under ⋯ More → Box: the price height of one row, the columns shown (bid × ask, delta, volume), colour strength and imbalance highlighting. Bigger boxes are easier to read on fast instruments; smaller boxes show more detail.

Chart look

Chart look holds ready-made footprint styles and candle colourings. Try a few and keep the one that reads fastest for you; save it as a layout.

Big trades

The big-trade search (in ⋯ More) marks bars and rows with unusually large volume as bubbles. Set the minimum size yourself, or leave it on automatic.
