Why are they free?
In NinjaTrader, the full VWAP and volume profile come with the paid Order Flow+ package, and most ICT indicators and risk management tools out there are sold outright or by subscription. We built these for our community of prop firm traders and give them away with the source code. Once installed, our logo with a link to the website appears in the corner of your charts, where you'll find our prop firm discount codes. They are affiliate links: if you buy through them we earn a commission, and that's how the project is funded.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Are they really free?
Yes. No trial, no subscription, and the code is open source (MIT license): you can see how they work and change them. Once installed, our logo with a link to the website appears in the corner of your charts (that's where our prop firm codes are, with affiliate links: we earn a commission if you buy through them).
Do I need Order Flow+ or a paid NinjaTrader license?
No. They work with the free NinjaTrader 8 license and with delayed data. The VWAP and volume profile calculate from 1-second bars, no Tick Replay.
Are they useful for futures prop firms?
Yes, they're built for NQ, ES, CL and GC, which is what most futures prop firm traders trade. The supply and demand one also shows each zone's risk in dollars per contract.
What's the difference between the indicators and the risk management tools?
The indicators draw on the chart (levels, zones, VWAP, volume profile). The tools act on your orders and accounts: Risk-Reward sizes the contracts for your risk and sends the order with its stop and targets, and the Risk Guardian watches each account and locks it when it hits your limits. They install the same way and each page explains where to open them.
Can I download just one?
Yes. Every indicator and every tool has its own download, and there's also a pack with all 11 indicators.
Is there a Spanish version?
Yes. Everything comes in English and in Spanish with the same name. Install only one: if you switch languages, delete the previous version's files first (each page says which).
The indicators describe what price has done; they don't predict what it will do and they are not investment advice. The risk management tools are an aid: they don't replace your firm's rules or your broker's limits. Only trade futures with money you can afford to lose.
