Hameral is a reasonable starting point for traders getting into order flow — free, easy to install, no funded account required to try it. If you're comparing it against DeltaFlowprint, here's a factual, feature-by-feature look at where each one sits.
What Hameral offers
Hameral's free pack (Volume Profile, VWAP, Footprint, Delta Bars, plus a bonus Super Oscillator) is distributed via newsletter signup, with a Pro pack adding multi-timeframe volume profiles, anchored VWAP, and an "advanced" footprint mode with absorption detection. That absorption detection works off two adjustable parameters — how many ticks to scan above/below, and a minimum volume threshold — and renders as a colored zone when both are met. It's a straightforward, usable implementation for spotting a single absorption zone.
What DeltaFlowprint ships instead
Where Hameral has one footprint display with an absorption highlight, DeltaFlowprint runs seven full display modes — including a dedicated Bid×Ask Profile mode built specifically to make absorption visible as a width contrast (one side of the tape stays thin, the other explodes), rather than a single threshold-triggered zone.
On top of that sit four named bar signals — Trapped Sellers, Trapped Buyers, Buying Pressure, Selling Pressure — that fire automatically the moment a bar closes, each with an independent Strength slider so you control how strict the detection is. Six separate cell highlights (Buy/Sell Imbalance, Volume, Positive/Negative Delta, Unfinished Auction, POC) support Extend (draw the level forward until price crosses it) and Consecutive (only fire when several adjacent price levels agree, filtering single-tick noise). A live session Volume Profile calculates POC, VAH, and VAL continuously, and a five-row Summary Table gives you Delta, Volume, Cumulative Delta, Min Delta, and Max Delta per bar without opening a separate panel.
The practical gap
Hameral's absorption zone is a single, useful signal. DeltaFlowprint's four bar signals plus six stackable cell highlights are built to combine — the features documentation explicitly notes that a Sell Imbalance highlight firing alongside a Trapped Buyers signal on the same bar is a stated high-conviction setup. That kind of confluence detection isn't something Hameral's current public feature set offers.
Pricing
Hameral's basic pack is free; its Pro pack is a paid upgrade. DeltaFlowprint is a single one-time payment of $197 covering every current and future mode, signal, and highlight — there's no separate basic/pro tier to weigh.
Which one fits you
- Pick Hameral if you're new to order flow and want a free, low-commitment way to look at bid/ask volume and a basic absorption zone before deciding whether footprint trading is for you.
- Pick DeltaFlowprint if you already know you want to trade order flow seriously and need a full signal suite — trapped-trader detection, stacked imbalance confluence, and a live session profile — in one package rather than assembling it from a basic/pro tier structure.
For traders comparing raw feature depth, DeltaFlowprint's display modes, auto-firing signals, and stacking logic are significantly more built-out than what Hameral's public feature list currently offers — that's a straightforward comparison of what's documented on each site, not a knock on Hameral's free tier doing what it's designed to do.
