Deepcharts is an order flow platform for futures traders, and you can use it either with your own subscription or through a prop firm such as IQ Capital. It shows a footprint chart, volume profiles and a depth of market ladder in one Windows program. This review explains what it does, what it really costs once you add market data, and what an IQ Capital futures account gives you.

I am not an order flow trader, and that is exactly why I look at Deepcharts from the outside. I have traded discretionary price action since 1980. So I check substance, terms and price for value, not whether footprints are the holy grail. To be clear from the start: we have not used Deepcharts ourselves for this article. Everything about the software comes from the provider’s own pages, which I checked on November 7, 2026, and every such claim is marked as the provider’s.

This article follows our editorial policy, and it contains no affiliate links. IQ Capital is an affiliate partner of ours in the separate IQ Capital review, and we say so there. Here we link both providers directly. This review is general information, not investment advice. Futures trading carries a high risk of loss, and with leverage you can lose more than your margin.

Deepcharts in 30 seconds

  • What it is: order flow and volume software for futures, with footprint charts, volume profiles, a DOM ladder, replay and a risk manager.
  • Who stands behind it: the software comes from Volumetrica Trading in Rovigo, Italy. Subscriptions are sold by ACFV Tech Solutions FZ-LLC, a company in the UAE.
  • Price: from $45 a month if you pay $540 for a year. The shortest plan is three months at $66 a month ($198). Monthly billing is listed as coming soon.
  • Data costs extra: a 15-minute delayed feed is included. Real-time data comes from dxFeed, Rithmic or CQG and is billed separately.
  • Platform: the full desktop program needs Windows (a Mac only through Parallels). A free browser version, DeepChart Web, runs on any system, but only with delayed futures data and paper trading.
  • Through IQ Capital: futures accounts run on Deepchart with dxFeed prop data, CME Level 1 included, Level 2 from $12 a month. Whether a Deepchart license is included is not stated by either company.

What is Deepcharts?

Deepcharts is an order flow and volume analysis platform for futures traders, developed by the Italian software company Volumetrica Trading.

The brand covers three products, and only one of them is the charting platform. Deepchart is the Windows trading and charting program this review is about; DeepChart Web is a free, reduced browser version of it. DeepDOM is a separate liquidity heatmap with order book tools, and DeepGamma adds options data. If you are new to the method behind all of them, start with our guide to order flow trading.

Who sells it and who builds it are two different companies. According to the terms and conditions, last updated May 8, 2026, the website and subscriptions belong to ACFV Tech Solutions FZ-LLC, while the software is developed and owned by Volumetrica Trading S.R.L. Payments run through Paddle or Whop as merchants of record. The EU’s VAT register lists Volumetrica Trading SRL in Rovigo with a valid VAT number.

Do not assume that every product called Volumetrica is Deepchart. IQ Capital, for example, runs its crypto and CFD accounts on its own IQC Trader platform, which it describes as built on Volumetrica, and its futures accounts on Deepchart. These are different products with different markets, so check the exact platform name before you buy anything.

Deepchart features: footprint, profile and DOM

Footprint charts are the core of Deepchart. A footprint splits each candle into price levels and shows how many contracts were sold at the bid and bought at the ask at each level. Deepchart calls its footprint family Deep Print, with bid by ask, delta and profile versions, plus an imbalance tracker. The image below is a product image from Deepcharts, not our own test.

Volume and market profiles show where trading clustered over a session or several days. Deepchart offers daily, weekly and composite volume profiles, a delta profile and a swing profile that, according to the provider, adapts to price swings. How to read these levels is explained in our guide to the volume profile.

The DOM ladder shows the waiting orders around the current price, and you can trade from it. The provider lists an advanced DOM with bid, ask, pulled and stacked orders, an on-chart DOM with the first 20 price levels and trading through brackets and OCO orders. For the on-chart DOM, Deepcharts itself notes that Level 2 data is required.

Deepchart Advanced DOM for the ES March 2026 contract (ES-202603) on a SIM account; a vertical price ladder from 7,019.75 to 7,026.00 with a highlighted row at 7,022.00, a blue Bid column showing resting buy sizes such as 16, 32 and 39 below it, a purple Ask column showing sell sizes such as 46, 117 and 43 above it, and a daily volume profile column on the rightClick to enlarge

Blue Bid column: resting buy orders per price; purple Ask column: resting sell orders; VP: daily volume profile. According to the pricing table, the Advanced DOM is part of all three Deepchart bundles; it is not the separate DeepDOM heatmap product, and whether an IQ Capital account includes a Deepchart license is not stated. Market depth needs Level 2 data. Image from the provider's help-desk article, cropped by us to the upper part of the ladder; its capture date is not shown. Not our own screenshot.

Several tools target prop firm traders in particular. A risk manager caps daily, per-trade or total losses, a trade copier mirrors trades across several accounts and is marked as beta, and Deep Replay plays back historical data tick by tick with a demo account. A Pattern Builder lets you build your own order flow conditions, but Deepcharts documents no programming language like NinjaScript or Pine Script.

A practical ES or NQ workflow in Deepchart

A typical order flow routine combines the three views in a fixed order. The steps below show how the tools fit together at the open of the E-mini S&P 500 (ES) or the E-mini Nasdaq-100 (NQ). It describes the provider’s tools, not a tested strategy, and it is not a recommendation to trade.

From level to order: one order flow routine at the open
  1. Deep ProfileMark the levelsPrior day value area, point of control and overnight high and low
  2. Footprint (Deep Print)Wait at a levelLook for absorption: large volume at the bid or ask without further price movement
  3. DOM ladderCheck the bookSee whether orders are pulled or stacked as price tests the level
  4. Terminal and risk managerPlace the orderBracket with stop and target; the daily loss cap matches your account rules

Step 3 needs Level 2 market data. Tool names from the Deepchart feature and pricing pages, November 7, 2026.

Two Deepchart desktop workspaces for the ES March 2025 contract (ES-202503), set to 1 minute on the left and 5 minutes on the right; left a footprint chart with working stop and limit orders, delta statistics, a green and red order-entry column and a trading panel with buy, sell and flat buttons; right a candle chart with a volume profile on the right edge, a Replay Manage window with a start field of 04/02/2025 15:35 and the same trading panel on a SIM accountClick to enlarge

The replay start field reads 04/02/2025 15:35; that is the replayed market time, not the date of the screenshot. The columns next to the price scale are order-entry panels, not a market-depth ladder with order sizes. Product image published by Deepcharts. Not our own screenshot.

What the screen cannot do is make the decision for you. A footprint shows what traded, not what will trade next. Absorption at a level fails often enough, and on a fast open the DOM changes faster than you can read it. I would start with the free web demo, then use desktop replay on a demo account, which requires a paid plan, before risking money. For step 3, the DOM ladder image in the features section above shows what to read: the resting order sizes in the Bid and Ask columns.

Deepcharts pricing: three bundles and the real total

Deepchart is sold in three bundles, and the advertised $45 a month requires paying a full year in advance. On the pricing page, the bundles are Orderflow, Advanced (formerly Full) and Pro. Orderflow covers the volume and order flow tools, Advanced adds proprietary indicators and live sessions, and Pro adds gamma and options flow data. Monthly billing shows “Coming Soon” and cannot be booked.

Deepchart bundles: price per month with annual billing
  • Orderflow$45billed $540 a year
  • Advanced$69billed $828 a year
  • Pro$125billed $1,500 a year
  • DeepDOM heatmap (separate product)$39billed $468 a year, Windows only

Bundle 3 months 6 months 12 months
Orderflow $66/month ($198) $55/month ($330) $45/month ($540)
Advanced $89/month ($267) $79/month ($474) $69/month ($828)
Pro $139/month ($417) $132/month ($792) $125/month ($1,500)

Deepcharts pricing page, checked November 7, 2026. Prices and promotions change; check the page before you pay.

Market data is the second bill. The paid plans include a 15-minute delayed feed powered by dxFeed, which is enough for practice on a demo account. For real-time trading you connect a subscription from dxFeed, Rithmic, CQG or another supported provider. Deepcharts does not publish those prices, because the data provider charges them, so add them to your budget before you compare platforms.

Read the refund terms before you pay, because they are narrow. According to section 10 of the provider’s terms, refunds may be considered within 14 days only if you accessed introductory or minimal content; advanced materials, downloads or member content may void automatic refund eligibility. Watching a live session, live or as a replay, may make the purchase non-refundable (section 10.1). After more than three calendar days from your first login or content access, refunds are no longer issued automatically (section 10.2), and later requests go to manual review (section 10.3). Nothing in the terms guarantees a refund within the first three days either. The terms fall under UAE law with courts in Dubai, so try the free web version first.

Data feeds, markets and system requirements

Deepchart is built for exchange-traded futures, and the data feed decides which exchanges you see. The data feed matrix shows these combinations for the main providers, and only dxFeed also covers Nasdaq data:

Data feed CME, CBOT, COMEX, NYMEX Eurex Nasdaq
dxFeed yes yes yes
Rithmic yes yes no
CQG yes yes no
IQFeed yes yes no
Quote Media yes no no

Deepcharts data feed matrix, checked November 7, 2026. Interactive Brokers and MetaTrader 5 appear only in the “trading” column, not as data sources for these exchanges.

The desktop program needs Windows. The pricing page lists Windows or a Mac with Parallels, and the help center names .NET Framework 4.8 or later as a requirement. DeepDOM is marked as Windows only.

There is also a free browser version, and it is the honest way to try Deepcharts before you pay. According to the DeepChart Web overview in the provider’s help desk, DeepChart Web runs in any modern browser on Windows, Mac or Linux and is free to try with a DeepCharts account and a verified email. It offers footprint charts, volume indicators, a volume profile tool and paper trading with a $100,000 demo account. Futures data there is delayed.

The web version is not the desktop product, and the provider says so. DeepChart Web has no replay or backtesting yet, no live trading or broker connections, and no DeepGamma or proprietary premium indicators. The help desk calls it no replacement for the desktop app. So it shows you the footprint idea and the interface, but it does not prove what the paid desktop version does. IQ Capital lists DeepCharts “(+Web)” among its futures platforms; how the web version works with an IQ Capital account is not documented.

Deepcharts through IQ Capital: what you get

IQ Capital offers Deepchart as one of three platforms for its futures accounts, next to Quantower and ATAS. According to its platform article, these accounts use dxFeed prop data, and the platform cannot be changed after purchase. Challenge accounts cannot be moved to Tradovate at all; under specific conditions, accounts with a daily loss limit can later be migrated for TradingView or NinjaTrader. Our IQ Capital review covers the firm, its payouts and its Trustpilot record in detail.

The current prices for the Quantower, ATAS and Deepchart group are low, but the rules differ by plan. On the IQ Capital pricing page, checked November 7, 2026, a Core challenge with a 1 percent position loss limit costs $29 for 50K (list price $195), and the version with a daily loss limit costs $37 (list $245). A 100K Core challenge costs $71. After passing, an activation fee of $129 or $149 is due.

IQ Capital futures plan (Deepchart group) 50K 100K After passing
Core, position loss limit $29 (list $195) $71 (list $475) activation $129 / $149, split 90/10
Core, daily loss limit $37 (list $245) $71 (list $475) activation $129 / $149, split 90/10
Rapid $101 (list $675) $169 (list $1,125) split 80/20, at most 5 payouts
Instant Funding $262 (list $1,745) $524 (list $3,495) no challenge, split 90/10

IQ Capital pricing page and help center, November 7, 2026. The page shows one 100K Core price for both variants. Sale prices change often.

Market data is partly included. IQ Capital’s data article says CME Level 1 data is included in the price. For the DOM ladder and heatmaps you need Level 2, which you book in the dashboard: CME Level 2 at $12 a calendar month, Level 2 for CME, CBOT, COMEX and NYMEX together at $42, and Eurex at $25. The same article says a CME Group Level 1 package at $4.50 a month is required to activate the additional exchanges; it does not say whether that applies on top of each package, so confirm the total with IQ Capital. Commissions are $0.80 per side for micro contracts and $2.88 for minis.

One question remains open: neither company states whether the IQ Capital account includes a Deepchart license. IQ Capital lists Deepchart as a platform, and Deepcharts explains how to connect prop firm dxFeed credentials, but neither page says whether you also need a paid Deepcharts plan. Ask IQ Capital support in writing before you buy a challenge for this platform.

The founders: a checkable contest record

Deepcharts was co-founded by Fabio Valentini and Andrea Cimitan, and Valentini’s contest results can be checked. The official historical standings list him in the Quarterly Futures Day Trading Championship: second with 68.6% in Q4 2023, third with 89.5% in Q1 2024, second with 218.3% in Q4 2024 and third with 169.7% in Q1 2025.

These are strong results, but they cover quarters, not years. Each figure is a three-month contest in a real-money account, as explained in our guide to the World Cup Trading Championship. They show trading skill at the top of a small field. They say nothing about how well the software works for you, and the results of the founders are not yours.

User reviews on Trustpilot

Deepcharts has a high Trustpilot score, from a profile the company pays for. On November 7, 2026, Trustpilot showed 4.7 out of 5 from 402 reviews, with 88 percent five-star and 5 percent one-star ratings. The profile is claimed and has a paid Trustpilot subscription, which allows a company to invite customers to review it.

The critical reviews deserve as much attention as the score. Public complaints on Trustpilot and Reddit concern refunds, occasional bugs and the data feed setup. Under the terms, refunds are no longer automatic once more than three calendar days after your first login or content access, and that fits those complaints. So try the free web version first.

Pros and cons of Deepcharts

On paper, Deepcharts combines a lot for its price; the limits are the platform, the terms and the extra data costs.

Pros

  • Footprint, profile and DOM in one program: with replay, a risk manager and a trade copier in the same package.
  • Prop firm route: IQ Capital and other firms connect Deepchart through dxFeed prop data.
  • Checkable founder record: Valentini’s contest results appear in official standings.
  • Low annual entry price: $45 a month for the Orderflow bundle with annual billing.

Cons

  • Windows desktop: Mac users need Parallels for the full program; the free web version is paper trading only, and DeepDOM is Windows only.
  • No monthly plan: the shortest plan is three months, and the cheapest price needs a full year upfront.
  • Narrow refund terms: watching a live session may void automatic refund eligibility, and refunds are no longer automatic more than three calendar days after your first login or content access; later requests go to manual review, under UAE law.
  • Data costs on top: real-time and especially Level 2 data cost extra in both routes.
  • No scripting language: a Pattern Builder exists, but nothing like NinjaScript or Pine Script.

Alternatives to Deepcharts

Deepchart competes with established order flow platforms, and the right choice depends on your data and broker. ATAS and Quantower are the other two platforms in IQ Capital’s futures group, so you can compare all three on the same account type. Bookmap focuses on the order book heatmap, and Sierra Chart and NinjaTrader remain common choices for futures traders. Our overview of trading software compares more tools.

If you mainly chart on TradingView, start there before buying a separate platform. TradingView has its own volume footprint, whose buy and sell split is an estimate. For a first look at footprints, that may be enough; for tick-level order flow and a DOM, a dedicated platform is the next step.

Conclusion: worth a test, but only with a clear plan

Deepcharts is a serious order flow platform with a transparent company behind it and a founder who has proven himself in real-money contests. Footprint, profiles, DOM, replay and a risk manager in one package make it attractive for futures day traders, especially for ES and NQ.

What makes me careful are the terms around it. Paying a year upfront to reach the advertised price, terms under which automatic refunds end more than three calendar days after your first login or content access and separate data costs mean you should test first and buy second. Through IQ Capital the entry is cheap, but clarify the license question in writing.

If you already trade order flow, Deepchart is worth a look in the free web version, then a test of the desktop program on a prop account. If you are not sure whether order flow fits your trading, learn the basics first. And if you trade price action as I do, you will rarely need this depth, though it never hurts to understand what the other side of the market is doing.

Frequently asked questions about Deepcharts

Is Deepcharts legit?

Yes, the companies behind it are identifiable and the founder’s record can be checked. Volumetrica Trading SRL in Rovigo, Italy, develops the software and appears in the EU VAT register. Subscriptions are sold by ACFV Tech Solutions FZ-LLC in the UAE. Read the refund terms before paying.

Does Deepcharts have a free trial?

There is no free trial of the paid desktop plans, but the browser version DeepChart Web is free to try.

For the paid plans, refunds are no longer automatic more than three calendar days after your first login or content access, and later requests go to manual review.

Does Deepcharts work on a Mac?

DeepChart Web works in any modern browser, with delayed futures data and paper trading only. DeepDOM is Windows only.

Is Volumetrica the same as Deepcharts?

Volumetrica Trading is the company that develops Deepchart, but not every product named Volumetrica is Deepchart. IQ Capital’s crypto and CFD platform, for example, is described as built on Volumetrica, while its futures accounts use Deepchart. Always check the exact platform name.
