The pages
- Overview: the Tactiq Flag on every timeframe, the verdict, evidence on both sides, key levels.
- Chart: price with all layers, the footprint, the panes and the Flag.
- Signals: trade ideas with entry, stop and targets, the analyst's review, and how past ideas ended.
- Learning (owner only): the analyst's playbook and Tactiq's market knowledge, with scorecards.
- Positioning: open interest, funding, basis and spot ETF flows.

The speech-bubble button at the top right sends feedback to the Tactiq team. Once a day, after a few minutes of use, Tactiq may ask how it is working for you.
Instruments
Pick the instrument beside the timeframe: BTCUSDT and ETHUSDT (perpetual and spot). Search by name or ticker, group by asset class, and star the ones you want in the ticker and the health pill: only those and the chosen instrument stay connected. Each has its own data, thresholds and signals. The Overview, Signals, Learning and Alerts pages show the instruments you follow on one desk.
CME futures
CME futures (gold, which replaced the Binance gold perpetual in November 2026, silver, crude oil, Brent, natural gas, euro, yen and sterling) appear for accounts the owner has licensed for them. Their data comes from Databento: every trade with its aggressor side, so the footprint, volume profile and flow zones work as for crypto. The current data plan has the best bid and ask but no order book, and the history starts when collection began. A future has no funding, open interest or liquidations, so those panels, the liquidation and liquidity heatmaps, the Flag and signals are not shown for it. Quantities are in the contract's base unit (ounces, barrels, MMBtu or currency units): one contract is that many units, which the instrument picker shows. The chart follows the front contract by volume. When the market is closed (the daily break, weekends, holidays) the header says Closed and when it reopens; that is expected, not a fault. The yen is quoted as USD per JPY.
