Feature Request
I would like to request a few improvements to the Order Flow feature in FYERS Smart Charts. The current Order Flow provides useful bid/ask volume information, but there are some important visualization and customization features that would make it significantly easier to interpret.
1. Add Price-Level / Row-Level Delta
I understand that FYERS already displays the Net Delta for the entire candle. My request is specifically for Delta at every individual price level/row within the candle.
Currently, an Order Flow candle may show something like:
5.9K | 10.0K
14.6K | 23.6K
4.2K | 2.9K
4.7K | 1.8K
It would be much more useful if the difference between the two sides could also be displayed for each row:
5.9K | 10.0K | −4.1K
14.6K | 23.6K | −9.0K
4.2K | 2.9K | +1.3K
4.7K | 1.8K | +2.9K
In other words:
Price-Level Delta = Buy Volume − Sell Volume
This is different from the existing candle-level Net Delta. The objective is to understand where within the candle buying or selling pressure is occurring, rather than only knowing the total Delta for the candle.
Ideally, this should be an optional setting, for example:
- Buy Volume × Sell Volume
- Buy Volume × Sell Volume + Price-Level Delta
2. Provide a Cleaner Delta-Based Order Flow View
It would also be useful to have different Order Flow display modes so that traders can choose how much information they want to see.
For example:
- Bid × Ask – current detailed view
- Price-Level Delta
- Bid × Ask + Price-Level Delta
- Price-Level Delta + Imbalances
- Full Order Flow
This would make the Order Flow much easier to scan without removing the existing detailed information.
3. Customizable Buy/Sell Imbalance Colors
The current Buy/Sell imbalance colors use green and red. However, green and red are already used extensively for bullish and bearish candles.
As a result, the imbalance markings can blend into the candle colors and are not always immediately distinguishable.
Please provide separate color customization for:
- Buy Imbalance
- Sell Imbalance
- Strong Buy Imbalance
- Strong Sell Imbalance
Users should be able to select colors that are visually distinct from the normal bullish/bearish candle colors.
For example, users could choose completely different colors for imbalances while retaining green/red for candles.
4. Customizable Imbalance Threshold
It would also be useful to allow users to customize the imbalance ratio/threshold used by Order Flow.
Possible settings could include:
- Imbalance ratio
- Buy imbalance threshold
- Sell imbalance threshold
- Strong imbalance threshold
- Highlight intensity
This would allow traders to configure Order Flow according to their trading style and the instrument being analyzed.
Overall objective
The objective is not to add unnecessary complexity, but rather to make the existing Order Flow information faster and easier to interpret visually.
The current candle-level Net Delta tells us the overall buying/selling pressure for the candle. However, price-level Delta would show exactly where that pressure occurred within the candle.
A cleaner Order Flow display should allow a trader to quickly identify:
Buy Volume → Sell Volume → Price-Level Delta → Significant Imbalances
without having to mentally calculate the difference between every Buy and Sell volume entry.
These additions would significantly improve the readability and usability of Order Flow for traders who use footprint and order-flow analysis.
