Makers opening footprint on a BTC footprint chart

BTC on 1-minute bars in the 0xArchive Terminal, 2026-10-17.

Open on a chart

Load it on BTC 1m in the terminal, then change its settings or open it in the script editor.
The makers who took the other side of the trades and opened positions doing it, at each price: bid makers opening longs on the left, under the taker selling they absorbed, and ask makers opening shorts on the right. Where longs were liquidated into a price and bid makers opened longs at that same price, the absorption is read from positions, not guessed from delta. The colours are the reverse of Bid × Ask: the left lane is buyers.

How it works

Each fill’s makerWhy says what the maker’s position did. A taker sell fills a resting bid, so a maker opening a long there is a bid maker; a taker buy fills an ask. Market makers’ legs are tagged too.

Try changing

  • Add the makers closing (tp_short, stop_short on the bid; tp_long, stop_long on the ask) as two more lanes.
