The Footer is an indicator designed to reveal additional data that are not visually evident in the chart’s candles, thereby allowing a more enriched and deep comparative analysis. Its correct functioning requires that it be incorporated in conjunction with the FootPrint on the chart, as its operability is dependent and not autonomous.
In the context of PipFlow, the Footer is deliberately segregated from the FootPrint. This design responds to the preferences of certain users who opt for the information zones, instead of the Footer. This separation effectively simplifies the configuration of the FootPrint, making its use more intuitive and manageable.
Additionally, in its professional version, the Footer incorporates a magnifying glass function. This tool is especially useful in the narrow display mode of the chart, where only the candles are displayed. With the magnifying glass, users can observe in detail the values contained in the boxes, which allows for a finer and more precise analysis of the data.
This option allows the Footer to appear on top of other indicators in the chart. The Z Order is an axis that the graphics hardware uses to determine the occlusion algorithm when drawing. By manipulating these values, you can determine which indicator has screen preference, i.e., which is displayed on top of others.
This value ranges from 0 to 100 and allows you to set a minimum opacity in the Footer boxes. If you do not want any opacity to appear, it should be set to 100. The recommended setting is 20, as at zero the minimum values become transparent, however, zero is a valid value.
The font to be used in the Footer. The size of the text is taken from this font. If you set a very large value, the texts will disappear sooner as they shrink. If it is set too small, the user may not perceive them. That is why this value is configurable.
This is the margin to the left of the text in the Footer boxes.

Allows to show cumulative delta values if activated
Sets the text to identify the boxes of the line where the cumulative delta is plotted. In other words, the legend text.
Displays the highest delta of the candle.
The legend text for the maximum delta
Displays the smallest delta of the candle. This capability DOES NOT work with absolute values, the aim is to display large negative deltas. If the candle has no negative deltas, a small positive delta is shown and the value is less useful in that case.
