Exocharts

What it is

Exocharts is an order-flow charting platform — footprint clusters, volume and delta profiles, TPO, DOM and tape — sold as a desktop application for Windows and Apple Silicon Macs plus a lighter web app on the same account. The desktop build processes trades locally, which is what pays for the DOM, the tape, replay and the non-time candle types; the web version receives data already aggregated by the vendor's servers and has none of them.

The data comes in two halves, and the split is the thing to understand before paying. Crypto is native: Exocharts runs its own ticker plants against Binance, Bybit, BitMEX, OKX, Bitget, Hyperliquid and Coinbase, with up to six years of tick-by-tick history, open interest and liquidations included. Futures and US equities are not — they arrive over a dxFeed connection, or since version 3.7.0 a Rithmic one, that the reader buys separately.

Pricing

Three plans, billed in euros plus VAT of the payer's country by a Lithuanian company. Desktop Pro is 49 EUR a month, 43 on a three-month term and 38 on six. Web Premium is 28, 25 and 23 on the same terms. The free Trial needs no registration and is a permanent limited mode rather than a countdown — about seventy altcoin pairs on three underlyings in the desktop app, one candle type on the web. The vendor's own pricing page contradicts itself on the three-month desktop figure: the plan card says 43 EUR, the FAQ below it still says 46.

One row in that table decides everything. The dxFeed connector is marked off on the free Trial and off on Web Premium, and on only for Desktop Pro — so every legacy market on this platform is behind the top plan. And the data itself is extra: the help centre states that dxFeed data is not included in any plan, that it is ordered from dxFeed directly through a provisioning link specific to Exocharts, and that the subscription covers the software alone. Budget two invoices.

Refunds run seven days from the initial purchase only, minus taxes and a processing fee of up to ten per cent. Auto-renewals are not refundable.

Data & coverage

Through dxFeed the desktop app reaches CME, CBOT, COMEX, NYMEX, Eurex and Nasdaq — futures, US stocks and ETFs on the same charts and the same tooling as crypto, with the instrument selector grouping symbols by market and each group carrying its own connection. Rithmic is the alternative route to CME Group futures, and version 3.7.0 added CME and Nasdaq extended-hours session presets. History on the legacy side is two years tick-by-tick against six on crypto.

The vendor is inconsistent about which venues dxFeed covers: the plan cards say CME, NASDAQ and EUREX, the marketing FAQ adds NYMEX, and the maintained help article lists all six above — prefer the help centre, which is the page the vendor keeps current.

Integrations

There is no public API, no scripting language, no webhook and no add-on marketplace — every mention of an API here is an exchange key you paste in to trade, or a roadmap phase. Execution is Bybit only, for spot, linear and inverse contracts, from the chart, DOM or order form. Rithmic order routing is written but switched off until the conformance process completes. Bar statistics export to .xlsx on both platforms, and that is the extent of getting data out. The current build is v3.7.0, released 4 June 2026, with fifty-five help articles revised in the week to 8 September 2026.

Limitations

• Legacy market data is a second subscription from dxFeed or Rithmic, not included at any tier.
• dxFeed and Rithmic are desktop-only. The browser app is crypto and nothing else.
• No screener, no scanner, no backtester, no alerts, no news.
• Order entry is Bybit crypto. No stock or futures execution, despite the futures charting.
• Intel Macs are not supported at all; Windows wants a discrete card with 4 GB of VRAM.
• The marketing FAQ still says trading is unavailable, which the help centre contradicts.
• exocharts.com/docs is an empty page marked under construction; the manual is elsewhere.

Alternatives

Bookmap is the closest comparison and inverts the emphasis — market-by-order depth on CME as the paid centre, crypto as the free filler — and also bills data separately. Sierra Chart and Quantower cover order flow on traditional markets at lower licence cost. The rest of the field is in charting platforms and screeners.
