Order-flow dashboard: footprint, market profile and large-print zones in one browser tab. No Soliciting

I've traded futures for a long time and write software for a living, and I got tired of paying for three platforms just to get footprint, market profile and large-print tracking in one place. So I built my own. It's called EnVisage, and I'm putting it out there to get feedback from people who actually trade this stuff. It runs on live data for ES, NQ, YM, RTY, GC, SI and CL, on any timeframe from 3 to 30 minutes, updating through the session. **What's on the chart** **Footprint.** Click any candle and a side panel opens the full bid/ask ladder for that bar, price by price, colored by whichever side dominated, with the bar's POC flagged. It keeps updating while the bar is still forming. **Market profile.** The session's TPO profile is pinned to the left edge, with the POC and the 70% value area shaded. The volume POC and the TPO POC are also plotted as lines that develop through the day, so you can see when control shifts instead of finding out afterwards. **Large-print zones.** This is the part I use most. It tracks the session's biggest individual prints as price levels, and every pair of those levels forms a zone. Where a lot of zones overlap, the chart shades a core in purple: the middle ground with heavy size traded on both sides of it. The outer edges and the core edges are drawn as their own lines, so you can see exactly where they sit and the moment they move when a bigger print comes in. A โˆ’ / + stepper sets how many large prints feed the zones. I flip between a handful for the big picture and a lot of them to see where size is clustering. **Imbalance candles.** Each bar's largest prints get pulled out on their own. When that big-print volume leans hard to one side and ranks in the extreme tail compared with the rest of the session, the candle lights up: green for buy side, pink for sell side. It's percentile based, so it adjusts to each session instead of using a fixed threshold. Hover a candle to see the evidence behind it. **Value areas.** Asia, London and NY each get their own value area and POC, and yesterday's NY levels carry into the overnight session so you're not starting from a blank chart. There's also the previous session's value area (with an option to extend it across today) and value-area low/high bands. All the toggles live in one Indicators panel grouped by type, with small chips by the button showing what's on. **Under the hood** It runs on tick-level trade data through a cloud pipeline, and everything is computed on the server from the raw tape. The footprint, the profiles, the zones and the imbalance stats all come from the same trade stream, so they never disagree with each other. **What it isn't** It doesn't give signals, predictions or buy/sell arrows. It shows you where size traded, who was aggressive, and where the market is accepting value. What you do with that is up to you. It's free. What I'd really like to know: what breaks, what's confusing, and what's missing that you'd actually use. And if you already watch large prints some other way, I'm curious how you read them.
