Here is a really useful way to setup the new Footprint chart and really make good use of the multi-pane functionality contained within it. This example shows a popular, compact use of having a Footprint chart that contains ALL the trade data reflected, along with another pane (bottom pane) that is showing only 100 lots or higher.

Notice the filtered Footprint data reflects only the trades that were 200 lots or higher AND the Footprint Price Statistic (FPPS) that I added on the right side of the chart ONLY reflects this filtered data! This is a really nice way to see where the institutional activity is tending surface. The volume along with the delta for this Footprint (bottom pane) helps to give an idea which side of the market you should be trading from and helps to spot in realtime when the institutions are stepping into the market. Another benefit is this is very compact and makes good use of valuable screen real estate.
