Charting & order-flow tools
The platforms that show up in our videos and in Prop Pass Blueprint, what each one is for, and what to check before you pay for anything. Start free. Upgrade only when you know which feature you need.
TradingView: charts, levels and practice
Where most of our chart examples are drawn: marking levels before the session, VWAP, volume profile, and bar-replay practice. Many prop firms and brokers also connect to it. There's a free plan; volume and footprint-style tools and the number of indicators per chart depend on the plan, so check TradingView's plan comparison before you upgrade.

ATAS: footprint charts, delta and cluster analysis
A dedicated order-flow platform for futures: footprint (bid × ask), delta, imbalances and cluster search. Useful once you want to read what happens inside a bar at your level. atas.net (not an affiliate link)
Bookmap: liquidity heatmap and the order book
Shows resting limit orders over time (the heatmap) and executed volume as dots. Good for seeing liquidity appear, get absorbed, or get pulled. Remember that resting orders can vanish, so treat it as context, not a signal. bookmap.com (not an affiliate link)
NinjaTrader (with Rithmic or Tradovate data)
A common execution platform for futures prop evaluations. Check which platforms and data feeds your prop firm supports before you set anything up. ninjatrader.com (not an affiliate link)
