Risk management
Risk management tools
Not indicators: a drawing tool that sizes your position from your risk and sends the order with its stop and targets, and an AddOn that watches your accounts and locks them when they hit your limits.
16 indicators

TPO Market Profile
FreeMarket Profile with a letter for every half hour: POC, value area, Initial Balance, single prints and poor highs and lows. NinjaTrader doesn't ship one.
Big Trades

Requirements
What you need
- NinjaTrader 8.1 (tested on 8.1.6). The free license works.
- No Order Flow+ or Tick Replay needed.
- Indicators tested on NQ, ES, CL and GC, on 1 to 15-minute charts and daily. Recommended: an ETH trading hours template and 5-10 days loaded.
- The risk management tools work on your NinjaTrader accounts: try them on Sim101 or Playback first.
Why are they free?
In NinjaTrader, the full VWAP and volume profile come with the paid Order Flow+ package, and most ICT indicators and risk management tools out there are sold outright or by subscription. We built these for our community of prop firm traders and give them away. Once installed, our logo appears in a corner of the charts where you use them, linking to the website, where you'll find our prop firm discount codes. They are affiliate links: if you buy through them we earn a commission, and that's how the project is funded.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Are they really free?
Yes. No trial, no subscription. Once installed, our logo, linking to the website, appears in a corner of the charts where you use them (not the others). Our prop firm codes are on the website, with affiliate links: we earn a commission if you buy through them.
Do I need Order Flow+ or a paid NinjaTrader license?
No. They work with the free NinjaTrader 8 license and with delayed data. The VWAP and volume profile calculate from 1-second bars, no Tick Replay.
Are they useful for futures prop firms?
Yes, they're built for NQ, ES, CL and GC, which is what most futures prop firm traders trade. The supply and demand one also shows each zone's risk in dollars per contract.
What's the difference between the indicators and the risk management tools?
The indicators draw on the chart (levels, zones, VWAP, volume profile). The tools act on your orders and accounts: Risk-Reward sizes the contracts for your risk and sends the order with its stop and targets, and the Risk Guardian watches each account and locks it when it hits your limits. They install the same way and each page explains where to open them.
Can I download just one?
Yes. Every indicator and every tool has its own download, and there's also a pack with all 16 indicators.
Is there a Spanish version?
Yes. Everything comes in English and in Spanish with the same name. Install only one: if you switch languages, delete the previous version's files first (each page says which).
The indicators describe what price has done; they don't predict what it will do and they are not investment advice. The risk management tools are an aid: they don't replace your firm's rules or your broker's limits. Only trade futures with money you can afford to lose.
