What trading platforms or websites offer something similar to Market Delta Delta footprint or volume footprint? I see that IRT and CQG offer the feature. AMS offers something for IRT and Ninjatrader.

Of the platforms that do offer volume profile, which is more favored by users? I am new to the various trading platforms often mentioned on this site.

CQG is among the least popular platforms, also Delta footprint is only available on the pricier CQG Integrated Pltaform.

You could try a Ninjatrader platform demo. They have an orderflow tool but available only to people who purchase a full licence. However as and Elite member here there is a very good Foot print tool available on this site ( https://nexusfi.com/local_links.php?linkid=1744 ).
Ninjatrader can perform badly with poorly coded indicators using too many resources, but I tried that Footprint indicator and found it was basic, but did what I wanted and used negligible computer resources.
(Interestingly the highest resource thing I found on Ninja was when I checked the DOM option to show cumulative depth (the sum of what is on the Bid or Offer), and that caused my processor load to jump from a single percent or two up to about 15%. Leave that off if you try the program, which it is by default).
