What the video shows

This video walks through the full installation of the free Trading Evolution indicators on NinjaTrader 8, from downloading the pack to the indicator showing on a chart, in the real order of the screens: NinjaTrader account, simulation mode, market data connection, ZIP pack import and free license activation.

The order flow tools that read trades (Footprint, Cumulative Delta, Big Trades) need Tick Replay to rebuild history: the video shows where to turn it on, first in the NinjaTrader options, then in the chart’s data series. The ICT indicators only need the chart bars.
