Order-flow & market-structure indicators for NinjaTrader 8
Three indicators that show you what a standard NinjaTrader 8 candlestick chart hides — delta, absorption, structure, and the opening range. Free to install, yours to keep, built for ES, NQ, and CL futures.
What's included
Three NinjaTrader 8 indicators, no cost
EVR Indicator
Reads delta, effort-versus-result, and absorption directly from the NinjaTrader 8 tick stream. SharpDX / Direct2D rendering keeps it responsive on fast ES and NQ tape.
Best for: timing entries around who is actually being filled.
SMC Indicator
Marks swing highs and lows, breaks of structure, and the levels price keeps reacting to — so you're trading with the structure instead of guessing at it.
Best for: framing bias and defining where a setup is invalid.
Opening Range Indicator
Draws the opening-range high, low, and midpoint for your session and extends them across the day. The visual half of the ORB Bundle.
Best for: trading the 9:30 range on ES, NQ, and CL.

FAQ
Free indicator questions
Are the NinjaTrader 8 indicators really free?+
Yes. The EVR, SMC, and Opening Range indicators are free to download and keep permanently. There is no trial timer on them and no credit card required.
Do the indicators work on the free NinjaTrader 8 license?+
Yes. They run on any NinjaTrader 8 installation, including the free platform license, in both live and simulation modes.
What is the difference between the EVR and SMC indicators?+
EVR focuses on order flow — delta, effort versus result, and absorption at price. SMC focuses on market structure — swing points, breaks of structure, and the levels price is reacting to. Most traders run both.
Can I use these indicators for automated trading?+
The indicators themselves draw information on the chart. To automate entries and exits you would add one of the NinjaTrader 8 strategies, which can reference the same logic.
Which futures markets are they built for?+
Built and tested on ES, NQ, and CL, and commonly used on the micros (MES, MNQ, MCL). They will load on any instrument NinjaTrader 8 supports.
