Your professional trading toolkit

Trade alongside the smart money — our X-Ray chart turns hidden order flow into edge and profits

Big Trades

Our algorithm tracks large market participants in real time. Every print above your size threshold is marked on the candle it hit and sized by contracts, so you see where real size is stepping in on our supported symbols while it happens — not after the fact.

Heatmap

A live order-book heatmap runs beside your chart. Resting limit orders are painted at every price level, brighter where more size sits, so you can see where the walls are, where they pull just before price arrives and where the market gets absorbed.

Interactive Charts

Fast, clean futures charts built for order flow. Run one, two or three panes side by side, draw levels, positions and volume profiles, and layer VWAP and moving averages under your Big Trades. Every colour, timeframe and layout is yours to set and saves with your workspace.

rootcharts FAQ

Questions, answered

The things traders ask before signing up. Anything else, the inbox is below.

Which instruments are supported?
CME, CBOT and COMEX futures: NQ and MNQ (E-mini and Micro E-mini NASDAQ 100), ES and MES (E-mini and Micro E-mini S&P 500), YM and MYM (E-mini and Micro E-mini Dow), and GC and MGC (Gold and Micro Gold). More are being added.
Do I need a broker account to use it?
Only to place orders. The charts, order flow, heatmap and volume tools all work on their own. To route trades you link a Tradovate or NinjaTrader account over OAuth, which means you authorise it on their site and we never see your password. One link exposes every account it owns.
Are my settings saved across devices?
Yes. Chart colours, trading preferences, layouts, keyboard shortcuts and connected accounts are stored locally for instant loading and synced to the cloud. Sign in anywhere and your workspace comes back as you left it.
Can I cancel whenever I want?
Yes. There is no contract and no cancellation fee, and you can cancel from your account at any time.
Do I need to install anything?
No. rootcharts runs in the browser on Windows, Mac and Linux — open rootcharts.com/app, sign in and trade. There is nothing to download or update, and the same workspace follows you to any machine you sign in on.
Where does the data come from?
Real-time CME Group market data via Rithmic: every trade and the full order book, not a delayed or sampled feed. The Big Trades algorithm and the heatmap are built from that raw stream, and candle history is kept on our servers so it is there when you open the chart.
