Material Indicators

What it is

A charting product for reading the order book rather than the candles. FireCharts plots resting bid and ask liquidity as a heatmap behind price, brighter where more volume sits at a level, with order flow below it as binned CVD: cumulative volume delta split by order size, which is the vendor's way of separating what it calls whales from smaller traders. The product pages put it at 800 BTC and USDT pairs with up to three years of order-book history, and the vendor describes price levels as binned into rows that widen as the timeframe does.

Around the chart sit three invite-only TradingView indicators — MTF Mean Reversion, Trend Precognition and Timescape support and resistance levels — and, on Premium+, the MI Dashboard: rolling altcoin beta and correlation to bitcoin, market-wide CVD, returns and drawdowns, trade frequency and its ranking across pairs, realised volatility, and a USD-margined futures funding heatmap with funding regimes.

It is bought by somebody trading those pairs who wants to see where liquidity is stacked or pulled before price gets there.

Scope note. Two parts of what the vendor sells tell the reader what to do, and they are why ai_features reads recommendations here. The indicators emit calls: the Trend Precognition page sells "predictive long and short signals", the vendor's FAQ calls it "a predictive tool used to estimate price direction", and MTF Mean Reversion prints Tier 1 and Tier 2 buy signals. And Premium+ sells a private Telegram trading community with "Actionable Alpha and Analysis", exclusive content and access to the co-founders. The vendor's own blog shows the shape of that analysis in public: a bitcoin outlook with a monthly short signal, probability scores and invalidation levels. The community and its alpha are sold calls, and this catalogue does not list them. What it lists is the chart. Standard, the cheaper plan, carries FireCharts and two of the indicators without the community, the alpha or the dashboard, and the homepage leads with the charts, not the group.

The operator is Material Indicators, LLC, a Florida limited liability company by its terms.

Pricing

In US dollars, from the pricing widget on the homepage and the buy-now page, the shop's own variant data and a checkout page, read on 24 October 2026. The widget opens on monthly billing.

• Standard — 149.99 a month, or 1,497 a year (124.75 a month; the shop lists the yearly price as reduced from 1,799.88), or 6,499 once for a lifetime licence.
• Premium+ — 199.99 a month, or 1,997 a year (166.42 a month, reduced from 2,399), or 8,499 once.

The community is not on monthly Premium+, by one page and not by another. The pricing widget marks the private Telegram community as included on annual and lifetime Premium+ and excluded on monthly, and its monthly description lists the metrics and the indicators but no community. The products page and the Premium+ shop page list the community on Premium+ without qualification. The widget keeps "Actionable Alpha and Analysis" ticked on all three periods.

No free plan and no trial. A monthly Standard checkout bills 149.99 the same day with the first renewal a month later. Every plan is sold with a 14-day money-back guarantee — and the refund section of the terms says "We do not offer refunds for initial payments" and that refunds are assessed case by case.

A free route that runs through an exchange. The partners page offers MTF Mean Reversion and Trend Precognition at 100% off to anyone who registers at BloFin with the vendor's referral code, and says the vendor earns commissions from the trading fees. That is the indicators, not FireCharts, and it requires an exchange account. What the code unlocks is the shop's separate indicator bundle, sold without FireCharts at 297 USD every three months (listed as reduced from 299.97); its licence menu names one-month to three-year terms, but only the three-month licence carries a price on the shop page.

A FireCharts Telegram chatbot that posts ETH heatmaps to a group every hour is listed at 720 USD a month and up, but only for the vendor's affiliate partners, not for retail purchase.

Data & coverage

One exchange, as far as the vendor has said. The current product pages say 800 BTC and USDT pairs and name no venue. A vendor blog post from May 2022 says FireCharts "supports all BTC and USDT pairs on Binance", with three years of order-book history for pairs listed that long and full bitcoin order-book depth aggregated since November 2020. Neither page says whether other venues have been added since.

History is up to three years of order book, by the FireCharts and Premium+ pages. The dashboard page calls the order-book and order-flow view real time.

The futures funding heatmap covers USD-margined futures; the dashboard page does not say from which exchanges.

The indicators run on TradingView, on any asset TradingView charts — the vendor names crypto, stocks, forex and commodities — so they are not limited to the FireCharts pairs.

Integrations

TradingView, by username. The Standard checkout asks for a TradingView username and a Telegram username, both required; access to the indicators is granted as invite-only scripts on that account. Alerts are TradingView's: the indicator pages describe alerts when price enters a buy zone, and connecting those signals to third-party trading bots. The product does not trade.

No API. None is described on the homepage, the products, FireCharts, dashboard and FAQ pages or the terms, and the terms prohibit using the vendor's data without a licensing agreement.

Limitations

• BTC- and USDT-quoted pairs, and probably one venue. That is what the heatmap covers; nothing on the product pages names a second exchange. Perpetuals appear only as a funding heatmap on Premium+. For liquidation maps or open interest, this is the wrong product.
• The calls are part of the package. Trend Precognition and MTF Mean Reversion print long, short and buy signals on every plan, Standard included, and the vendor's blog publishes directional outlooks built on them. Treat those as the vendor's opinion and the heatmap as the data.
• The FAQ describes an older product. It says signals are "broadcast through our dedicated channel on Telegram" and that a Telegram account is required, and describes Tier 1 and Tier 2 signals on 1- and 3-minute charts. The current plan table keeps the community to Premium+; no page read for this card says whether Standard buyers receive the Telegram broadcasts.
• The plan pages disagree on monthly Premium+, as set out under Pricing.
• Personal use only. The terms forbid sharing charts with non-subscribers on pain of lifetime termination without refund, and forbid any corporate use without a separate licence.
• Expensive for one chart. At 149.99 a month month to month, Standard costs several times the order-book heatmaps below.

Alternatives

TapeSurf and TensorCharts both sell order-book heatmaps in a browser for a fraction of the price, across more than one venue. Hyblock Capital puts order-book and liquidation metrics into screeners. For the derivatives side this product barely covers, The Kingfisher — which Material Indicators' own partners page promotes — maps modelled liquidations, and CoinGlass is the free default. The full list is under crypto charting platforms.
