desktop trading terminal · futures · equities · crypto

Every tick.Zero lag.

Speed is the charting platform I built for my own trading after TradingView, Quantower, Deepcharts, MotiveWave and NinjaTrader all fell short. One app for charts, orderflow and execution, built around one rule: the screen never falls behind the market.

depth of market · dom

The book, live.

Every level of the order book updates in place at full frame rate, so you can watch liquidity move without the ladder jumping around.

  • Level-2 depth over a 24-byte binary protocol
  • Order ticket with bracket targets and stops
  • Kill switch, flatten and cancel-all always in reach

order flow · footprint

Bid × ask, every price.

Footprint bars split each candle into the volume that traded on the bid and on the ask at every price, with imbalances lit up so aggressive buying and selling stand out.

time & sales

Every print, as it lands.

The tape streams every trade the moment it lands, colored by side, so you can feel the pace of the market and not just see it.

volume profile

Where size actually traded.

Volume profiles show the prices where the most size changed hands, built from the tick stream rather than minute bars.
