In short: NinjaTrader 8 and a chart. That is all ChartWatermark needs.
It reads the instrument and timeframe from the chart it sits on, so every chart labels itself.
Symbol and timeframe are read from the chart, so the label changes the moment you do.
Color, font, size, weight, shadow and outline, in eight presets or a look of your own.
Opacity from barely there to bold. Faint enough to forget, clear enough to read.
Any corner, any edge or the middle, then nudge it by the pixel.
You might ask: why is this free, what is the catch? There is none. We want to change the market for third-party NinjaTrader tools, and giving our work away is part of how we do it.
To say it plainly: this market is overpriced and full of low-quality tools with missing features and bugs. Vendors charge hundreds of dollars for simple indicators. No indicator, add-on or tool will make you profitable. A good one makes your trading environment better, and you know that already, or you would not be here looking.
Our goal is the highest-quality products we can build, tools that make a real difference on the chart. We get there by testing hard: weeks on live charts before release, feedback from the traders who use them, and a close read of what the forums complain about. We offer a full refund within 14 days, we adapt tools for customers who ask, and we give most of our work away.
Most of our tools are free for a reason. We want you to try them, see the quality and the features for yourself, and not spend a dollar with us until you think a tool deserves it. We are a business and we intend to make money, by solving real problems for traders.
So yes, ChartWatermark is completely free, no strings attached. If you like it, there are more free tools and paid ones priced well under what is usual in this market. Leave a review if you want to, good or bad, we read every one. If you have any questions, please email us at [email protected].
No card, no license key, no expiry. Nothing to cancel because nothing was started.

Four reasons a chart should say what it is. None of them changes a trade; they change how fast you and everyone watching can tell one chart from another.
Every chart on screen labeled and styled to match. Streamer and Neon exist for exactly this, and the label is part of the picture, so it survives any crop.
A dozen charts across three monitors, each identified from across the room. No squinting at window tabs to find the NQ 5-minute.
Post a chart anywhere and the instrument and timeframe travel with it. No more “what chart is this?” replies.
Minimal while you trade, Bold red for the recording, Light chart for the printout. One dropdown each way, and Custom remembers your own look.
Question or idea for improvement? Email us. We reply fast.
Genuinely free — no trial period, no locked settings, no license key, nothing to upgrade to. We sell other indicators; free tools like this one are how we show you the quality of the work first.
Download the zip, then in NinjaTrader 8 go to Tools → Import → NinjaScript Add-On and pick the file. Add ChartWatermark to any chart from the Indicators list, pick a preset, and the chart is labeled — most traders are done in under a minute. The step-by-step guide covers every message NinjaTrader can show and the update rule.
The symbol (NQ), the full contract (NQ 12-26), the instrument description, the timeframe (5 Min), the bar type, or the symbol with the timeframe stacked under it. It reads all of this from the chart, so when you change instrument or timeframe the watermark follows by itself.
Nine anchors — the four corners, the four edges and the middle — plus pixel offsets in both directions from whichever you pick. It is anchored to the panel, not to a price, so it stays put when you scroll or zoom. There is no drag-to-position in this version; the position is set in the settings.
At the default 18% opacity it reads as a soft label behind the bars. Turn the opacity down for a whisper, up for a stamp, and switch on the shadow or outline if you want it to stay crisp over busy candles. Untick Show watermark and it is gone.
Yes — tick, minute, volume, range and Renko charts, daily and weekly too, any instrument, any data provider. It draws on the price panel and needs no data beyond the chart it sits on.
No. It draws a line of text on each frame and does nothing on each bar. If your chart ever lags with it on, email us: that’s a bug, not normal.
Email support, answered by the traders who built it. Bugs get fixed — this tool gets the same updates and support as our paid indicators.
Free, no card, no license key. Download it, import it, and every chart says what it is in under a minute.
Not for you if you expect it to change a single trade. ChartWatermark labels the chart clearly; the trading is yours.
Pairs well with Free candlestick color add-on (CandleStyler) · Free chart notes add-on (StickyNotes) · Free bar counter indicator (ProBarCounter)
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.
