In short: NinjaTrader 8 and a chart. That is all Weekly H/L Lines needs.
Load about five days of data for every week you show. On futures, a 24-hour template includes the Sunday-evening open.
All lines update instantly as price moves live.
On by default: older weeks fade, so recent levels stand out from old ones.
See the midpoint price for the current week or previous weeks.
Set it up exactly how you prefer it to look.
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, Weekly H/L Lines 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].

Four ways to trade around the levels the whole market already has marked. None of them is a signal; the entries, the stops and the discipline are still yours.
Price runs into last week’s high and stalls, at a level every swing trader has marked. A rejection there is one of the cleanest fades on any timeframe.
Price closes beyond last week’s high or low and holds: the market accepting prices outside last week’s range. Trade the retest, or trail the move with the level behind you.
A week’s high near another week’s high, or a low near another low, gets flagged on the label. Those stacked levels are where reactions tend to be strongest; mark them before the session, not after the bounce.
Above this week’s open, the week’s buyers are ahead; below it, the sellers. One line that keeps your intraday trades on the right side of the week.

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 WeeklyHLLines (that is how it is spelled in NinjaTrader’s list) to any chart from the Indicators list and the weekly levels are drawn — most traders are done in under a minute. The step-by-step guide covers every message NinjaTrader can show and the update rule.
Sunday for futures, and that is the default: the CME week opens Sunday evening. Monday for stocks. The levels follow your chart’s trading hours, so on futures a 24-hour template gives you the full week including the Sunday-evening session; an RTH-only template gives you the RTH week. If you switch the start day on a running chart, right-click the chart and choose Reload NinjaScript for a clean re-count.
From one to ten weeks, counting the current week — four by default, which is this week and the three before it. Untick Show Current Week to hide the still-forming week. Load about five days of data for every week you show, and raise Days to load in the chart’s Data Series settings if the older weeks are missing.
For every week: the high, the low and, if you switch it on, the midpoint. For the current week it can also draw the opening price. High, low, mid and open each have one on/off switch; past weeks and the current week each get their own color, width and dash. By default a line starts at its week’s first bar and runs to the right edge (a week that begins before the chart’s loaded history starts at the left edge). A line can also span the whole chart, stop at the current bar, turn dashed after its week closes, or be switched off to show labels only — the open line still draws in that mode.
When a week’s high sits within a set number of ticks of another week’s high, or a low within that distance of another week’s low, its label says so — for example Prev High ~2W, meaning last week’s high is within a few ticks of the high from two weeks back (with dates on, it reads Prev High (Sep 6) ~2W). Midpoints and the open are not compared. The distance is two ticks by default, up to ten, or zero to switch it off.
No. The weekly levels never pull the price scale, so a high from five weeks ago does not compress today’s bars. Scroll the price axis if you want to see a level that is off screen.
No. It only redraws when something changed — a new bar, a new week, a new weekly high, low or open, or a setting — so most price changes cost almost nothing. 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 the weekly levels are on your chart in under a minute.
Not for you if you want the tool to tell you when to buy and sell. Weekly H/L Lines marks the levels the market watches; the trade is yours.
Pairs well with ProVWAP VWAP indicator · Key levels indicator (Intraday Reference Levels) · Monthly H/L Lines · Current price line indicator (CurrentPriceLine)
Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. Weekly H/L Lines is a charting and decision-support tool only — it is not a trade signal, recommendation, or financial advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
