By traders, for traders

One platform, not four

Serious traders end up renting a heatmap from one vendor, a footprint from another, charting from a third and a ladder from a fourth — four logins, four bills and four workspaces to read one market. Chartveil was built the other way round: one desk, one feed, one subscription, by someone who got tired of the stack.

What you're renting now
  • A heatmap subscription for resting liquidity
  • A footprint platform for executed volume
  • A charting platform for structure and drawings
  • A ladder and replay tool for execution practice
  • Four layouts and four sets of hotkeys to remember
What you actually open
  • Heatmap, footprint, ladder and profiles in one window
  • One shared tick cache — every panel on the same instant
  • One replay clock that drives every chart at once
  • Trade journal and copier, in the same platform soon
  • In-house studies that ship with it, not as paid add-ons
  • One subscription
Built for Scalpers Day traders Swing traders Prop-firm traders Traders who never open a DOM

Order flow is optional. Edges come from all sorts of places, so the charting, market structure, profiles and in-house studies stand perfectly well on their own — take as much or as little of the tape as your method actually calls for.

The toolset

Four ways to read the same tape

Every panel is fed from one shared tick cache, so the heatmap, the footprint and the ladder are always describing the exact same moment in the book.

01 / Liquidity

Liquidity heatmap

Resting orders only, painted per tick. Every price level gets its own band — dark is thin, bright is thick — so walls build and pull in front of you instead of vanishing into an aggregated blob.

  • One column per snapshot, newest on the right
  • Pulled walls fade as they leave the window
  • Size floor hides the 1–10 contracts churn that fills the book all day
  • Auto-contrast keeps the ramp spent on liquidity that can actually stop price
  • Hover any level to read the resting order sitting there

02 / Footprint

Footprint

A footprint that counts executed trades and nothing else. Most feeds reuse the same message for volume and VWAP updates, and naive tape readers count those as trades — the footprint filters them at the decoder, so your bid×ask numbers are real fills.

  • Bid × ask volume per price, per bar
  • Aggressor delta and imbalance highlighting
  • No phantom prints from snapshot or VWAP messages

03 / Depth

Advanced DOM

The live market-by-order ladder down the right edge, printing every visible level as “biggest × total” — so you can tell one 200-contract order from forty 5-contract orders standing at the same price.

  • Bid and ask sides, biggest level per side boxed
  • Rows decimate by size when depth gets dense
  • Big single trades bubble onto the chart with their contract count

04 / Context

Delta & volume profiles

Draw a profile over any range and ask not how much traded, but who was aggressive there. Volume, bid/ask, delta and delta-plus-total profiles, with tick-precise VAH, VAL and POC.

  • Anchors itself as the session develops
  • Session, composite and drawn-range profiles
  • Market Profile / TPO letters for the classic view

Everything in the box

The whole desk, one platform

Chart platform

Time, range, volume and tick bars, all built from the same raw tick history rather than resampled. Drawings, multi-window layouts, a command centre to launch it from, and one replay clock that drives every chart at once.

Order-flow indicators

Footprint, delta and cumulative delta, imbalance and absorption, and big-trade bubbles that fold a sweep back into the one order that caused it — plus in-house studies built specifically for index futures.

Liquidity heatmaps

Resting market-by-order depth painted per tick, one band per price. Walls build and pull in front of you instead of vanishing into an aggregated blob.

Advanced DOM

The full ladder, printing every visible level as “biggest × total” — so one 200-contract order reads differently from forty 5-contract orders standing at the same price.

In development

GEX

Dealer gamma exposure mapped onto the index levels you actually trade — where positioning pins price, and where it stops holding it.

Planned

Trade copier

Mirror one account’s activity across the rest, for traders running several funded accounts at once.

Planned

AI agent

Ask the tape questions in plain language — what absorbed there, where size has been sitting all session. Context on what happened, not signals or advice.

In development

Trade journal

Every fill logged against the tape that produced it — the book, the footprint and the profile at that moment, not just an entry price and a note.

In development

Backtesting

Test an idea against real stored ticks instead of resampled bars, using the same bar types and studies the live charts run.

Planned

Automated trading

Take a rule set from backtest through to execution without rebuilding it somewhere else.

Exploring

And more

What ships next is shaped by what funded traders actually ask for. Early-access members get a direct say in the order it lands.

Where it sits

One subscription, not four

Order-flow software is priced for institutions, and the tools are usually sold separately. Here is exactly what one Chartveil subscription includes — and, just as plainly, what is not built yet.

Everything marked Included is in the current release. Everything else is not — it is covered by the same subscription when it ships, at no extra cost, but you should subscribe for what is on the first list.

The stack this replaces

Traders reading order flow usually end up paying several vendors: one for resting liquidity, one for executed volume, one for charting, one for a ladder. Four logins, four bills and four workspaces describing the same market. Chartveil is one desk on one feed — that is the whole argument, and it is an argument about price and integration rather than about anyone else’s software being worse.

Where the established platforms are stronger

Worth saying plainly, because you are about to spend money and a comparison that only flatters the seller is not worth reading.

Bookmap

A long track record, a mature add-on ecosystem and more tutorials than anyone. If you want the most extensible liquidity platform with the largest community around it, that is Bookmap.

Sierra Chart

Enormously configurable, very cheap at the lower tiers, and it will outlive us all. If you want to build everything yourself and pay very little, Sierra is hard to argue with.

ATAS

A deep, well-established order-flow feature set with a large user base and broad instrument coverage. If you need breadth today rather than depth on index futures, ATAS is the safer buy.

All of them

They ship today, at scale, with support teams behind them. Chartveil is pre-launch, built by one trader. That is a real difference and no comparison should hide it.

Bookmap, ATAS and Sierra Chart are trademarks of their respective owners, referred to here for identification only. Chartveil is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any of them. Nothing above is a statement about the current capabilities of any other vendor’s software — those change often, and you should evaluate each product against its own documentation and your own trial before buying.

The launch rate is not an introductory month that expires. Subscribe while the sale is on and $100/mo is the price you keep.

Prices in USD. The $50 first month applies to a new member’s first month only. During the launch sale it renews at $100/mo, and that rate holds for as long as the subscription stays active — cancel and rejoin later and you pay the rate at that time. A Rithmic-enabled market data account is required and is billed separately by your broker or prop firm.

Before you ask

Questions

Do I need my own Rithmic account?

Yes. The terminal connects with your own Rithmic credentials — from a prop firm such as Apex or Lucid, or a retail broker that clears on Rithmic. All you have to ask them for is Level 2; Chartveil takes the market-by-order side from there. Market data fees are billed by your broker, not by us.

Does it place trades?

Not yet — trading is coming, for Rithmic accounts. The current release is read-only against the feed, with a built-in simulator for practising entries and exits on live data. When live trading ships it will be on your own Rithmic account, and this page will say so plainly.

Which instruments are supported?

It is built and tuned for the CME index futures — NQ and ES — plus gold and silver, including the explicit quarterly contracts. It is deliberately not a do-everything platform; the depth of the order-flow tooling is the trade-off for that focus.

What are the system requirements?

Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) or macOS. 8 GB to 16 GB of RAM is recommended — toward 16 GB if you run several heatmap windows alongside charts. A wired connection is strongly advised — market-by-order is a heavy stream.

Which platforms does it run on?

The desktop terminal runs natively on both Windows and macOS — a native build is what lets it render per-tick depth at full frame rate. Web and mobile versions are on the way, so you will be able to read the book from a browser or a phone as well as from the desk. Both are in development rather than in the current release, and your subscription covers every platform — see the help center for where each one stands.

Will this make me profitable?

No software can promise that, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something worse than software. These are instruments for reading order flow — they show you what the book is doing. What you do with that is your edge to build, and futures trading carries substantial risk of loss.
