Futures Volume Delta (VD) measures the net difference between buying and selling trade volumes, specifically highlighting the difference in volume where the buyer or seller was the aggressor. It includes trades where USD or USD-related currencies serve as the quote currency, encompassing both fiat and stablecoins. The VD is computed within specific intraday time frames, which are determined based on your selected data resolution (e.g., hourly, 10-minute intervals). \n\nYou can view this metric for individual exchanges or as an aggregate total across exchanges.

This is the Point-in-Time (PiT) variant of Futures Volume Delta. PiT metrics are strictly append-only and their history is immutable. The historic data does not necessarily reflect the best current knowledge, but the information at the time when a data point was first computed. PiT metrics are ideal candidates for applications in model backtesting and related quantitative purposes. Read our article on PiT metrics for more information.
