Footprint — what happened inside the candle
Each candle splits into price rows. Aggressive sells on the left, buys on the right. Width is
volume. A color flag = imbalance, measured diagonally: a sell at one price
against a buy one tick above it — because that's how the book is built. A threshold of three is a common convention,
not a research finding.
Candles — the same seconds, in four numbers
The same recording that builds the map above, summarised into candles. Each candle is an open, a high, a low and a close — four numbers per period. What happened inside the period does not exist here: not who waited, not who attacked, and not where supply was replenished. That is not a flaw in the candle, it is its definition.

What's shown here
The map shows contract quantities from a synthetic matching engine with FIFO queues. Teaching scenarios schedule orders and events to isolate a mechanism; the engine computes queueing, executions and book response. This is not a recording of a real market or evidence of profitability.
