EdgeDepth vs MMT
Compare browser order-flow terminals, exchange aggregation, recorded tick replay and research.
When MMT fits
Choose MMT when you want aggregated crypto order books, heatmaps and flow across exchanges in a browser terminal.
When EdgeDepth fits
EdgeDepth brings live heatmaps, footprints, TPO, volume profiles, VWAP, DOM and tape into a browser terminal, with recorded tick replay and a research engine for testing supported setups.
What each workflow gives you
| Decision | MMT | EdgeDepth |
|---|---|---|
| Analysis | Aggregated order flow, footprint charts, order-book heatmaps, profiles and custom scripting. | Live liquidity heatmap, footprint charts, TPO, volume profiles, sessions, VWAP, DOM and trade tape in the hosted browser terminal. Inspect these views in recorded replay as well. |
| Replay | The current plan page includes Bar Replay with plan-specific historical limits. | Replay recorded trades and order-book updates with heatmaps, footprints and profiles. Seek through the recorded sequence in the browser. Available views depend on recorded streams and plan access. |
| API | REST and WebSocket data APIs, custom scripting, and MCP tools for terminal layouts and indicator creation. | The terminal is open source and can connect to a compatible data gateway. Hosted research also exposes versioned definitions through REST and MCP; hosted data services are separate from the terminal source. |
| Coverage | Broad multi-exchange aggregation; consult the vendor list for the venue and instrument you need. | Research covers Binance USDT-M; live coverage includes Binance USDT-M and Hyperliquid perpetuals. Live analysis and recorded replay sit alongside research; broker order execution is not provided. |
Live order flow, recorded replay and research together
Read resting liquidity on the order-book heatmap, inspect executed volume in footprints, and use TPO, session profiles and VWAP for context. The liquidation layers add a separate view: modeled liquidation pressure is distinct from resting orders and observed liquidation prints.
Those tools support a complete visual investigation inside EdgeDepth. Research adds another step when useful: define a supported condition, count its matches and inspect what followed across the selected record. Open the terminal or test a question.
How it could fit your research
Use aggregated flow to notice a question, but keep the venue explicit when testing it. An observation across several exchanges is not automatically the same condition on Binance alone.
In EdgeDepth, review the exact setup, markets and dates. Read both favourable and adverse outcomes, check missing windows and inspect counterexamples. A same-scope unconditional reference includes matches and is not a matched control group. An interesting pattern is a reason for another check, not proof of profitability.
Coverage and access matter
Search can reach the full verified research record, with availability varying by measurement and market. Pro tick replay covers 90 days; Research reaches the available recorded replay history. Research history and replay coverage are different. Check coverage and current plans for your intended workflow.
EdgeDepth has live order flow, an event archive, lessons and open-source terminal tools alongside research. It does not execute trades. A monitored condition means the setup occurred again, not that an order should be placed.

Common questions
Is MMT Bar Replay the same as tick and order-book replay? #
Bar replay reconstructs aggregated bars. Tick playback follows individual recorded events, and historical order-book playback also requires depth data. MMT advertises Bar Replay and a historical API; those claims alone do not establish tick-by-tick order-book playback. EdgeDepth replays recorded trades and book updates where the required streams and access exist.
Can I inspect EdgeDepth before paying? #
Yes. The hosted live terminal has a free tier, and public demos let you inspect replay. The open-source terminal can run with a compatible gateway. Advanced hosted features, research allowances and replay access vary by plan; existing public reports are free to read.
