Questions about the free tools

Are these NinjaTrader 8 indicators really free?

Yes. Every tool on this page is the full version, with no cut-down features. There is no trial, no card, no license key and no expiry, and every update is free too. The checkout needs only your email, and your downloads open on the next page.

Do they work on the free version of NinjaTrader 8?

Yes. They need a recent version of NinjaTrader 8, and the free version of NinjaTrader is enough. You can check yours under Help › About. NinjaTrader 7 is not supported.

How do I install a free indicator in NinjaTrader 8?

Download the zip, then in NinjaTrader go to Tools › Import › NinjaScript Add-On, click OK on the warning if it shows and pick the file. Then right-click a chart, choose Indicators and add the tool. Free tools need no restart, except bar types and chart styles, which appear after one restart and are picked in Data Series instead. Multi Chart Layout is not added at all, because its button appears on the toolbar of every chart. Our install guide shows every step.

What is the difference between your free and paid tools?

Free tools are complete, cost nothing and need no license key. Paid tools are licensed to your NinjaTrader account. You can try each one free for 14 days, then buy it once or pay monthly. Both get every update free. The paid tools are on their own page.

How do I get updates?

Every update is free. The version list shows each tool’s newest version and what changed, and you can download the newest file again from the tool’s own page. To update, remove the old version with Tools › Remove NinjaScript Assembly, restart NinjaTrader and import the new file.

Can I use them on more than one computer?

Yes. Free tools have no license key and nothing to activate, so you can import them on every computer you personally use. Sharing the files with other traders is not allowed.
