Add color-coded or directional distinction between Market Buyers and Market Sellers in Smart Tape

Introduce clear, dynamic differentiation between market buyers and market sellers in Smart Tape. A few possible implementations:

  1. Color Coding:

    • Market Buy orders → shades of green (light to dark based on volume size or aggression)

    • Market Sell orders → shades of red (light to dark similarly scaled)

  2. Directional Indicators:

    • Add small ↑ (up arrow) for market buys and ↓ (down arrow) for market sells

    • Optionally allow users to toggle this in settings

  3. Intensity Filter:

    • Option to highlight dominant side activity (e.g., when consecutive buy or sell orders exceed a user-defined threshold)

  4. CVD Integration:

    • Display a small cumulative delta bar beside the Smart Tape to visualize buy/sell pressure in real time.

Why It Matters:

  • Enhances situational awareness for short-term and scalping traders.

  • Makes aggression and absorption easier to spot directly within Smart Tape, without switching tools.

  • Aligns Smart Tape functionality with professional-grade order flow tools used by institutional-level platforms.

Example Use Case:

A trader monitors Smart Tape during a breakout. Instead of manually reading bid/ask sequences, color-coded Smart Tape immediately shows heavy green dominance — confirming aggressive buyers are lifting offers and validating a potential breakout entry.

Optional Add-On:

Allow users to customize color gradient, threshold, and display density for optimal visibility across different chart backgrounds.
