SAM shows you exactly what institutions are buying and selling — at every price level — before you enter a trade.
You have the charts. You have the indicators. But you keep getting stopped out on setups that looked perfect. Here is why.
EMAs, RSI, and candlestick patterns show you where price has been. None of them show you the $287M sell wall sitting at the exact level you just entered long.
When you're not sure whether to take a setup, it's a data problem. You see the level. You see the candle. But you don't know if institutions are actually there.
They all look at price. SAM looks at who is moving price. That's a different question — and it's the one that actually matters.
The live SAM Table shows net dollar flow at every price shelf. +302M means $302 million more buying than selling at that exact level. In real time. Every bar.
When SAM fires, it has confirmed up to 27 independent factors. Footprint delta. Zone type. Three timeframes. Institutional volume. Stacked imbalances. You see the score and the delta character before you enter.
Stop loss, T1, and T2 appear automatically with R:R ratios calculated. Nothing to measure. Nothing to guess. Click and execute.
Every signal fires a Discord alert instantly. Ticker. Direction. Price. Score. Level. Pressure. Volume. Before you even look at the chart.
Live scrolling table shows true tick-level buying and selling pressure at every price shelf. Footprint POC, VAH, and VAL drawn automatically. Level lines for OR high/low, anchored VWAP, previous day H/L/C, session H/L — all automatic. 3 concurrent supply and demand zones tracked simultaneously.
Fires when true footprint delta confirms institutional order flow at a structural level. Every signal shows your entry price, true bid/ask pressure %, and a confidence score up to 27. Stop loss, T1, and T2 drawn automatically with R:R calculated.
Footprint delta, stacked imbalances [FI], opening range [OR], anchored VWAP [AV], shelf delta [SD], multi-asset correlation [NQ], order blocks [OB], delta position [DP], delta slope [DS], put/call confirmation [PC], relative volume gate [RV], VWAP reclaim [VR], gap detection [GAP], HOD/LOD first test [H], three timeframes — all checked before a signal fires. Every factor visible on the label.
Rich webhook alerts hit your phone the moment a signal fires. Every piece of context you need in one line. Set it up once — never miss another entry.
SAM auto-detects your session and adjusts filters. Premarket mode relaxes thresholds. Afterhours raises the bar on contested signals to filter thin-liquidity noise.
v4.0 is the only TradingView indicator that uses request.footprint() as its primary delta source — true bid/ask volume per bar, not OHLCV approximation. Requires TradingView Premium. All plans get full v3.9 accuracy in standard mode.
Seven targeted upgrades that close signal gaps, improve SPY and QQQ accuracy, and surface more order flow context directly on the chart.
Footprint-derived Value Area High and Low are now recognised as proximity triggers in the signal engine — alongside the standard OHLCV levels. Rejections at FP-VAH and bounces at FP-VAL now fire signals when all other conditions are met. A gap that previously caused missed shorts at footprint levels is closed.
A new row in the SAM counter table shows real-time short-term order flow direction: ▲ BUY — ▼ SELL — ↔ NEUTRAL. Uses the last 5-bar delta slope — not the session total — so it reflects current momentum even if the session started in the opposite direction.
The trending / ranging / transitioning reading now locks on bar close and holds stable. No more intrabar flickering between states. Consistent with how all other SAM signal logic works.
The cumulative delta line — introduced in v4.1 and refined in v4.2 — shows session order flow balance scaled to the session price range. When it rises with price, the move has conviction. When it diverges from price, that is the same signal SAM scores as [D] internally — now visible on the chart. Survives both clean modes.
Every signal is scored across 28 independent factors in footprint mode. The score, tier, and progress bar appear directly on the chart label — no interpretation needed.
The only TradingView indicator built on true footprint data with automated 30-factor confluence scoring. No direct competition exists.
