How It Works

Live on your chart in three steps.

No separate installer, no complicated config file. If you can add an indicator in NinjaTrader, you can run the full suite.

1

Subscribe

Start your 7-day free trial, get instant email confirmation and your license key.

2

Install & activate

Import the indicator package into NinjaTrader 8, then activate with your license key, tied to your machine ID.

3

Add to your chart

The Suite

Four indicators. Clearer view.

Every module is included in a single subscription: no individual purchases, no upsells. Big Print, Bar Depth, and Profile+ read real trade and order-flow data, not a smoothed-out approximation. VWAP+ rounds out the suite with session-based price context.

01
BIG PRINT

TrackTicks Big Print

A real-time big-trade and order-flow-burst detector, mapped live at the exact price it happened, and with Tick Replay enabled, across your full chart history too.

  • Every trade classified the instant it prints using the standard tick rule, nothing sampled or batched.
  • Single large prints and clusters of same-side aggression tracked as separate, mutually exclusive detections.
  • Click any marker to anchor a live, continuously updating Delta Since Big Print count: watch absorption or follow-through in real time.

02
PROFILE+

TrackTicks Profile+

A full volume profile and a real-time bid/ask split, in one indicator, on a zone you draw yourself.

  • Draw your own zone, an opening drive, a consolidation, a breakout leg, instead of being locked to a fixed session.
  • Six display modes from the same tick data: Volume, Heatmap, Split Bid/Ask, Bid Only, Ask Only, and Delta.
  • Automatic Point of Control and a configurable Value Area (70% by default), updating live as trades print.

BAR DEPTH

TrackTicks Bar Depth

A live, per-bar order-flow statistics strip, built on its own tick-by-tick engine, running on any standard chart.

  • Volume, Delta, Cumulative Delta, Min/Max Delta, and Point of Control built from real tick-by-tick classification, not estimated.
  • Total, Buy, and Sell Trades rows show how many individual prints made up a bar, split by side.
  • Up to nine configurable rows, in any order, with Custom Session Breaks layered on top of your daily reset.
  • Its own scrollbar and time axis, fully independent of your candlestick chart's zoom and scroll.

A fully custom, multi-session VWAP with independent deviation bands and a prior-session reference line.

  • Up to four custom session windows, globex opens, hourly resets, or any schedule you trade around, with automatic handoff between them.
  • Six fully independent deviation bands, each with its own multiplier, color, thickness, and fill.
  • Dynamic bull/bear VWAP coloring, plus an optional prior-session VWAP reference line.

FAQ

Before you start

Setup & compatibility

Does this work with my NinjaTrader version?

Built and tested to be compatible with NinjaTrader 8. A license key is generated per subscription and tied to your machine ID.

Do I need a special data feed?

Big Print, Bar Depth, and Profile+ all read real trade-by-trade order flow, so full accuracy needs a data feed providing CME Level 1 data. All three also need Tick Replay enabled on the chart's data series for accurate detection on historical bars, not just live going forward from when they're attached. VWAP+ works on any standard OHLCV data with no special feed required. If your feed doesn't provide CME Level 1 data, the order-flow indicators fall back to a midpoint-based classification.

Does this work on any instrument, or just certain futures contracts?

Built and tested for futures contracts in NinjaTrader 8 (ES, NQ, CL, GC, and similar). The order-flow indicators need a feed providing CME Level 1 data for full accuracy.

What if I get a new computer or reinstall NinjaTrader?

Email support with your account details and we'll deactivate the old machine ID and issue a fresh one, no extra charge, no waiting on a new billing cycle.

Will NinjaTrader platform updates break these indicators?

We test against current NinjaTrader 8 releases and update the suite as needed to stay compatible. If a NinjaTrader update causes an issue, that fix goes out to all active subscribers as part of your existing plan.

The product & the data

Do these indicators repaint or change after the fact?

Live data is never repainted: once a trade prints, its classification and anything built from it (a marker, a count, a bar's stats) stays as calculated. The one exception is historical bars on Big Print, Bar Depth, and Profile+, those from before the indicator was running and capturing real tick data, or before Tick Replay was enabled. Those use a documented, clearly-disclosed estimate rather than true tick-by-tick data, since NinjaTrader doesn't provide real historical bid/ask otherwise. Nothing live is ever smoothed, adjusted, or changed after the fact.

Does TrackTicks place trades or connect to my broker?

No. Every TrackTicks indicator is a charting and data-visualization tool only, it displays historical and real-time trade, volume, and order-flow data. None of them place, modify, or manage trades, and none connect to your broker for execution. You stay in full control of every trade.

What's "TrackTicks Stacked Imbalance" that's coming soon?

It's the next indicator in development. It maps stacked bid/ask imbalances directly on your chart as they form. Once it ships, it's added to the suite automatically for every active subscriber, no extra charge.

New to terms like Delta, VWAP, or Point of Control?

Check out our Order Flow Glossary for plain-English definitions of every term used across the suite, from footprint charts to Cumulative Delta.

Billing & plans

How does the 7-day free trial work?

You start the monthly plan and get full access to all 4 indicators straight away, with nothing held back. Your card is saved at signup but not charged. If you cancel before day 7 you are never charged anything. If you do nothing, the subscription starts automatically at $19.99/month on day 7, and we email you a reminder before that happens so there are no surprises.

Do you offer annual billing?

Yes, $119.99/year, billed once annually. That's half the cost of paying $19.99/month all year, and it renews automatically until you cancel, same as the monthly plan. The annual plan is charged today rather than after a trial, so the 7-day free trial is a monthly-only offer.

Can I buy just one or two of the indicators?

No, the suite is sold as a single bundle. One subscription gets you all 4 indicators, plus anything new we add to the suite later, at no extra cost.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. The monthly plan starts with 7 days free, so you can run the full suite live on your own charts before paying anything. A card is required at signup so your subscription can continue without interruption, but it isn't charged until day 7, and cancelling before then costs you nothing.

What happens if I cancel?

Cancel during the 7-day trial and you are never charged, with no obligation at all. Cancel later and your license deactivates at the end of the billing period you have already paid for, no partial refunds, but no lock-in either. Either way it is one click in the Stripe customer portal, no email required and no cancellation questions to answer.

What's your refund policy?

The 7-day free trial exists so you can evaluate the suite before paying anything. After that, TrackTicks is a digital product delivered instantly as a license key, so we generally don't offer refunds once a billing period has started, except where required by law. Cancelling stops future billing but doesn't refund the current period. Full details are on our Refund & Cancellation Policy page.

Support & updates

Do I get future updates and new indicators?

Yes. Bugs get fixed as they come up for as long as you're subscribed, and any new indicators we add to the suite later, including the upcoming Stacked Imbalance indicator, are included automatically. You never pay extra to stay current.

What if I find a bug or something isn't working right?

Email support and we'll investigate. Fixes for confirmed bugs are rolled into the suite for every subscriber, not sold as a separate patch or update fee.

How do I get support if I'm stuck?

Email support is included with every subscription. We aim to respond quickly to setup issues, licensing problems, and questions about how to configure or read any of the 4 indicators.

Get Started

Read the tape, not an estimate.

Run all 4 indicators live on your own NinjaTrader 8 charts free for 7 days. Cancel during the trial and you won't be charged.
