OrderVane Pro for NinjaTrader 8

Order flow on your NinjaTrader 8 chart.

OrderVane Pro brings OrderVane's footprint, big-trade markers, previous-session levels, range profiles and the Session Map window to NinjaTrader 8. It builds them from a 1-tick series it requests itself, and draws what already traded — where, and how much.

Analysis only — it never places, changes or cancels an order.

What it draws

The Pro toolkit, on NinjaTrader 8.

One indicator, OrderVane Pro, plus the OrderVane Range Box drawing tool. Everything it draws comes from trades that already printed.

Footprint

Every price in the bar — bid × ask.

Bid × ask cells inside each bar, with the bar's point of control, imbalances and stacked-imbalance zones that extend until price breaks them. Zoomed out, bars become wide candles with their volume and delta.

Big trades and absorption

Large trades, drawn where they printed.

Large prints are drawn as bubbles at their price, sized by volume and colored by the side that took liquidity. Absorption bars mark heavy volume at a price that did not move.

Previous-session levels

Yesterday's value area, carried into today.

The previous session's profile is rebuilt automatically and its VAH, POC and VAL are carried into today. When size trades into a level without pushing through, the touch is marked — a record of what happened there, not a forecast.

Big trades list

The same big trades, as a list.

A button on the chart opens the big trades it has drawn as a list in a window of its own, with side and size filters.

Session Map

Where today sits against the last five sessions.

The Session Map opens in its own window: five sessions side by side, today's ladder and the regular-hours rows, with a crosshair that follows the chart. Its previous-session VAH, VAL and POC are the same numbers our Quantower edition computes.

Range profile

Drag a box, read that range.

Draw an OrderVane Range Box over any bars for a profile of exactly that range — POC, value area and VWAP included. The box is a NinjaTrader drawing tool, so it is saved with your workspace.

Bar statistics

Every bar as numbers.

Rows under the bars for volume, delta, delta percentage, cumulative delta, trades and more, with heat coloring and a tape-speed row.

Install

Three steps in NinjaTrader.

The download is one .zip. NinjaTrader imports it as it is — do not unzip it.

Step 1

Import the package

In the NinjaTrader Control Center, open Tools ▸ Import ▸ NinjaScript Add-On… and choose the OrderVane .zip.

Step 2

Compile once

Open New ▸ NinjaScript Editor and press F5. NinjaTrader does not recompile imported scripts on its own, so do this after every install or update.

Step 3

Add it to a chart

Right-click the chart ▸ Indicators…, add OrderVane Pro, then paste your license key into the License group of its settings.

Build your charts in a workspace of your own (Workspaces ▸ New) and save it — OrderVane’s settings, including your license key, are saved with the workspace.

Is it for you?

Built for traders who read the tape.

We'd rather you know before you buy.

Built for you if…

  • You trade futures on NinjaTrader 8 and read order flow, not just price
  • You want to see where size traded and make your own calls

Probably not for you if…

  • × You want a bot that places entries and exits — OrderVane never trades for you
  • × You want buy/sell signals to follow — it's analysis, you decide

Price

One price. Pay once.

The same price as OrderVane Pro for Quantower. It is its own product with its own license key.

14-day free trial on your own charts — no card required.

Before you buy

What it needs, and where it stops.

What you need to run it

  • A Windows PC
  • NinjaTrader 8 — built and tested on 8.1.8.4
  • Tick (Time & Sales) data for the instrument
  • An internet connection for the first activation

After the first activation the license stays valid without a connection for up to 7 days from the last successful check.

Being straight with you

  • It reads the market, it doesn't predict it — you see what has printed, not what happens next
  • It doesn't place or automate trades — every decision and execution stays with you
  • It is a separate product from the Quantower editions — a Quantower key does not unlock it

Questions

Straight answers to fair questions.

Does it place orders?

No. OrderVane Pro for NinjaTrader 8 never places, changes or cancels an order, and it gives no buy or sell signals. Every trading decision and execution is yours.

Does my Quantower license key work on NinjaTrader?

No. OrderVane Pro for NinjaTrader 8 is its own product with its own key. A Quantower OrderVane key does not unlock it, and its key does not unlock the Quantower indicators.

Which data does it need?

Tick (Time & Sales) data for the instrument. OrderVane Pro builds its footprint and the Session Map from a 1-tick series it requests itself. The first load takes a moment while it reads the chart's tick history.

OrderVane is gone after I restart NinjaTrader. Why?

The workspace it was on was not saved. Build your charts in a workspace of your own (Workspaces ▸ New), save it when NinjaTrader asks on exit, and add OrderVane Pro there.

How do the trial and the license work?

A trial key unlocks the same product for a limited time, one trial per computer. Paste a purchased key into the same License key field to unlock it without reinstalling. The trial lasts 14 days with no card, and a purchased key activates on two computers.
