A free order flow platform, right in your browser

What you get

Every order flow tool works on the same chart, so you can stack them instead of switching windows.

Footprint chart: the buying and selling at each price inside every candle, as volume or delta. More about footprint charts.
Order book heatmap: resting limit orders drawn behind price, so you can see where liquidity sits and where it gets pulled. More about the heatmap.
Big trades as bubbles: large market orders marked on the chart where they hit.
DOM ladder: the order book price by price, with trades as they print.
CVD: cumulative volume delta, the running total of market buys minus market sells. What is CVD?.
Volume profile: how much traded at each price over a range or a session. Volume profile explained.

Data from the exchanges that matter

Order flow comes from Binance, Bybit, OKX, Coinbase, Kraken, Bitget, Hyperliquid, Deribit and more than twenty other exchanges, for perpetual futures and spot. You can chart one exchange or join several together, which shows the whole market's buying and selling instead of one venue's slice of it.

History keeps loading as you scroll left. Bybit charts go back to the day a coin was listed.

Why it is free and needs no sign-up

DM Charts is made by DerivativesMonkey, which builds market data tools for crypto traders. The charts are free so that as many traders as possible use them. Your layouts are saved in your browser, so there is no account to create and no email to give.

Practise with Replay

Replay plays the market forward bar by bar from any point. The heatmap and footprint stop at the replayed bar, so nothing from the future leaks in. You can open practice long and short trades while it plays and see how they would have done.

Order flow without the price tag

Most order flow platforms are paid desktop programs: Bookmap, Exocharts, ATAS and Sierra Chart all charge a subscription or a licence, and most need a download and an account. DM Charts gives you the core order flow tools in the browser for free. See how it compares with Bookmap, Exocharts and TradingView.
