Footprint Charts Need to Be Added to Topstep

If Topstep is serious about helping traders grow and perform at a higher level, footprint charts are not optional anymore—they’re essential.

Right now, we’re limited to standard charting, which only tells part of the story. Footprint charts show real order flow—aggressive buyers vs sellers, absorption, imbalances, and where the market is actually being controlled. That’s the difference between guessing and understanding.

This would allow traders to:

• See bid vs ask volume in real time

• Identify absorption and trapped traders

• Spot true breakouts vs fake moves

• Improve entries and exits with precision

• Build consistency based on real market behavior, not just patterns

A lot of serious traders already rely on footprint charts through other platforms. Bringing this into Topstep would keep everything in one ecosystem and give traders a real edge without needing outside tools.

If the goal is to create consistently profitable traders, this is one of the most impactful features you could add.

Let’s bring real order flow into Topstep.
