The Best DeepCharts Alternative for Learning Orderflow

Orderflow software is expensive, typically costing hundreds of dollars per month. MarketByOrder is a free, browser-based orderflow replay tool with DOM, charts, and time & sales built for practice. It currently integrates with Databento, which offers $125 in free credits for new users. See how it works for a full breakdown of setup and data usage.

The quick comparison table below is the fast answer. The rest of this page is a rough walk-through of the actual charting and replay experience so you can see how the features feel in use.

Large Trades on Candlestick Charts

What It Shows

Many traders using DeepCharts rely on a feature called “DeepTrades” to highlight unusually large transactions on the tape. The chart below shows a similar large-trade visualization so you can quickly identify significant market participation during a session replay.

Tip: this chart uses manual scale. Drag the price axis up or down to change the vertical scale while the large-trade markers stay focused on the biggest prints in the replay.


Footprint Charts

Why It Matters

Footprint charts reveal the volume traded at each price level within a candle - showing you exactly where buyers and sellers were active. This embed starts with gradient shading, delta visible, and light price condensing so the imbalances are easy to read at a glance.

Depth of Market (DOM)

What To Watch

The DOM shows resting limit orders on each side of the book in real time. Stack and Pull columns track how liquidity is being added or removed, and the depth histogram visualizes the shape of the order book at a glance. Press play to watch orders interact with the book tick-by-tick.
