What these indicators do, and what they don’t

  • The ICT models draw the zones and steps of a setup on the chart (liquidity, sweep, MSS, FVG) and can trigger sound alerts. They send no orders.
  • The order flow tools read trades and the order book: volume at the bid and ask, delta, large trades, VWAP. Footprint, cumulative delta and Big Trades need Tick Replay for an exact history.
  • TEVO DOM is the only one that can place orders: from its window, on the account you choose, with confirmation. The others place no orders.
  • The code is readable: you can check every rule before you rely on it.

Frequently asked questions

Are the indicators really free?

Yes. The indicators are free (free packs and a free license), with no subscription. They run in NinjaTrader 8, third-party software with its own terms; the platform and market data may cost money depending on how you use them.

Why does the download go through NinjaTrader?

These indicators only make sense inside NinjaTrader 8. The first step opens the NinjaTrader website through our partner link; the second unlocks the file. The partnership is described in the disclaimers.

Do the order flow tools need special data?

Footprint, cumulative delta and Big Trades read every trade with its bid and ask: in real time this is automatic, and for history you need to enable Tick Replay. TEVO DOM needs market depth (Level 2) from your connection. The ICT models only use the chart bars.

Which markets can I use them on?

Any instrument loaded in NinjaTrader 8: futures contracts (indices, energy, metals), forex or stocks. The order flow tools matter most on futures, where traded volume is centralised.
