Important data notice Rook - Footprint uses classified broker Bid/Ask quote updates to estimate Up/Down Tick pressure. It does not provide verified executed trade volume, true bid-at/ask-at aggressor volume, or centralized FX market volume. Use all footprint readings and signals as trade confluence only, never as a standalone entry, exit, or risk-management system.
Disclaimer :
Trading financial markets involves substantial risk, and past performance does not guarantee future results.
Order flow information is derived from the market data made available by your broker through C Trader. When true Bid/Ask data is available, the indicator automatically uses it for footprint calculations. Otherwise, it uses Up/Down Tick estimation. Data quality and available features may vary between brokers and instruments. This indicator is an analytical tool and does not provide financial, investment, or trading advice.

Rook Footprint supports all chart timeframes and adapts automatically to the market data provided by the broker. It is compatible with multiple markets including Forex, Futures, Indices, Commodities, and Crypto. The indicator emphasizes clarity and performance with customizable colors and a clutter-free layout to facilitate quick interpretation of order flow.
No external data feeds or special access rights are required, as it uses cTrader’s built-in market data. It is intended as an analytical tool to complement existing trading strategies.
