Questions about our NinjaTrader 8 indicators

What are the best NinjaTrader 8 indicators?

There is no single best indicator for every trader. The best one for you shows what you already trade from. Here is which of ours does which job. For the levels you trade around, there are Daily H/L Lines, Intraday Reference Levels, Live Range Levels, Monthly H/L Lines and Weekly H/L Lines. For sessions, the opening range and the initial balance, there are Live IB Range, Session Colors and SessionLevels. For trend, on one chart or across timeframes and markets, there are EMA Color Zones, HTF Candle Overlay, MultiTrend, SMT Overlay Bands, SuperTrend and UT Bot Alerts. For VWAP, there is ProVWAP. For your own risk and your trades, there is ATM Risk Reward. For scheduled economic news, there is Futures News Indicator. For the bars and the price line, there are CurrentPriceLine, ProBarCounter and Tick/Time + Range + Bar Counter.

Which of these indicators are free, and which are paid?

Of the 20, 14 are free. Each is the full version, with no trial, no card and no license key. The six paid ones are ATM Risk Reward ($99, or $9.99 a month), Futures News Indicator ($29, or $2.99 a month), Intraday Reference Levels ($39, or $3.99 a month), MultiTrend ($69, or $6.99 a month), SessionLevels ($29, or $2.99 a month) and SMT Overlay Bands ($79, or $7.99 a month). You can try each paid indicator free for 14 days, then buy it once or pay monthly. Paid indicators are licensed to your NinjaTrader account. Every update is free, on the free and the paid ones alike, and on a monthly plan for as long as it runs.

Will several indicators slow down my chart?

They can, because every indicator on a chart works through every bar the chart has loaded. A month of 1-minute data on a futures market that trades nearly around the clock is about 30,000 bars for each one. If a chart gets slow, first load fewer days, then remove the indicators you no longer read. Our guide why is my NinjaTrader chart lagging shows how to find the real cause.

Which version of NinjaTrader do I need?

A recent version of NinjaTrader 8. Every indicator here also works on the free version of NinjaTrader 8, the paid ones included. You can check your version under Help › About. NinjaTrader 7 is not supported.
