Settings that fit COW
- 1
Footprint interval: 1h
Start on 1h. COW prints about 1.5 trades a second on Binance, so a one-hour bar holds roughly 5,500 trades and a first screen of 15 bars loads in 68 seconds. For quicker, finer reads, 15m loads in 17 seconds with about 1,400 trades a bar.
- 2
Row grouping
A typical one-hour COW bar spans about 23 ticks of 0.0001. Leave row grouping on Auto, which merges rows until the figures fit, and raise it if a bar still reads as a wall of single ticks.
- 3
Heatmap: Fit stays filled
Keep the heatmap on Fit. COW’s nearest 1,000 order-book levels reach about 100% from price, 103 times its typical fifteen-minute move of 0.97%, so the recorded book stays wide enough to fill a fifteen-minute view. The book is thin, though: about $59K rests within half a percent of price, so single walls stand out and can vanish in a moment.

- Replay of past sessions bar by bar, and price alerts that run while the tab is open
Reading COW’s order flow
COW has traded as a perpetual on Binance since November 2024. Younger, fast-moving contracts tend to trade in bursts, and the footprint is where a burst shows whether it has follow-through: delta that keeps building with price, or heavy volume that prints with no progress at all.
Read stacked imbalances as evidence of urgency, not as a signal on their own. On a contract like this, one large participant can paint a ladder for a few bars; what matters is whether price accepts the new level once that aggression stops.
Questions
Is the COW footprint chart really free?+
Yes. Every crypto footprint in Basis is free, COW included: no account, no trial and no card. Open the link and Basis builds the COWUSDT footprint from Binance’s live trade tape, with delta, POC, imbalances, the liquidity heatmap and Time & Sales.
Which COW market does Basis use for order flow?+
Binance’s COWUSDT USD-M perpetual, the contract the figures on this page describe. Footprints are built from Binance trades only, so they show trading on Binance rather than on every venue that lists COW, and no other venue’s chart is filled with Binance trades.
What interval should I use for the COW footprint?+
Start on 1h. COW prints about 1.5 trades a second on Binance, so a one-hour bar holds roughly 5,500 trades and a first screen of 15 bars loads in 68 seconds. For quicker, finer reads, 15m loads in 17 seconds with about 1,400 trades a bar.
Why does the COW heatmap show grey areas?+
Grey is depth that was not recorded, never an empty book. Binance publishes no order-book history, so Basis records the COWUSDT book from the moment you open it and keeps fifteen minutes. Keep the heatmap on Fit. COW’s nearest 1,000 order-book levels reach about 100% from price, 103 times its typical fifteen-minute move of 0.97%, so the recorded book stays wide enough to fill a fifteen-minute view. The book is thin, though: about $59K rests within half a percent of price, so single walls stand out and can vanish in a moment.
Can I see COW order flow for other exchanges?+
Not as a footprint. Trade-at-price data in Basis is built from Binance only, and Binance trades are never borrowed to decorate another venue’s chart. Bybit, OKX and Hyperliquid charts in Basis show their own candles and derivatives data instead of a footprint.
