If you stream, post screenshots, or run a wall of charts, you want each one clearly labeled with what it is. ChartWatermark puts a clean, automatic instrument-and-timeframe label right on the chart — behind price, out of the way, always correct.
It updates itself: change the instrument or timeframe and the watermark follows. No manual text to keep in sync.
Eight preset looks get you there in one click — Dark chart, Light chart, Streamer, Minimal, Neon, Embossed, Bold red, or a Custom slot that's all yours. Subtle enough to ignore while you trade, clear enough to identify the chart at a glance.
Fine-tune everything: place it anywhere on a nine-position grid with pixel offsets, set the color, opacity, font, size and weight, and add a drop shadow or outline so it stays readable over candles.
NinjaTrader has no built-in watermark, and traders kept asking for one — for streams, for content, and just to tell charts apart on a busy desktop. So we made a clean one, free.
Let's be honest: this one won't change a single trade — it just makes every chart unmistakably yours. Lean, automatic, fully styleable, no bloat, no upsell — built by a working futures trader.
Every chart on camera clearly labeled and styled to match your brand — the Streamer and Neon presets exist exactly for this.
A dozen charts on a desk, each identified at a glance from across the room — no squinting at window tabs to find the NQ 5-minute.
Post a chart anywhere and the instrument and timeframe are part of the image — no more "what chart is this?" replies.
Minimal while you trade, Bold red for the recording, Light chart for the printout — one click each way, and Custom remembers your own look.
ChartWatermark is built to be set up once and left alone. Position, color, font, shadow and outline are all adjustable — nothing is hard-coded. Below is the actual settings panel: numbered groups, plain-English names, no cryptic abbreviations.
After checkout, download the ChartWatermark .zip — it's on the confirmation page, and in your email receipt.
In NinjaTrader 8: Tools → Import → NinjaScript Add-On, then select the .zip.
Right-click any chart → Indicators, add ChartWatermark, and pick a preset or style it to taste.

A clean, automatic instrument and timeframe watermark for your charts — free, and built by a working futures trader.
Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. ChartWatermark is a chart-display tool only — it is not a trade signal, recommendation, or financial advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
