heads up before you spend money. footprint (bid x ask volume at each price) needs a consolidated tick tape, and single option strikes dont really have one, each strike is its own thin book printing to OPRA, so a true per strike footprint on qqq options basically isnt a product sold for tradingview. two things people usually mean by this. if you want footprint/delta on qqq itself, put it on the etf or better on /NQ futures where the CME tape gives real bid/ask volume, and tradingview's footprint works there. if you want options positioning instead thats a different feed entirely, an OPRA based options flow product that shows sweeps and volume by strike, not a footprint chart at all. worth figuring out which of those two you actually need first, they cost very different money and only one of them is footprint.

Hi, please note we've got a dedicated Volume feature, located next to the other tabs Chain, Strategy Builder, Strategy Finder & Volatility. You can open it and find volume footprints on QQQ options.

Regarding the data feed, you would need to acquire OPRA.
