I like to see where a ProAm level is broken at speed. For this I use my ZiggetyZag indicator. It checks for a rotation around PoAm bars with Velocity and a break. Cyan bar and arrow.
This installs smaProAm and VelocityBarsV2 (by Okina).

Being able to see large orders on the chart helps me enormously and can also be used to give bias.
My indicator looks for three types of events:
Large individual buys or sells (Pro orders)
Large groups of orders at any price (Block orders)
Bars with a high proportion of low size orders (Amateur orders)
In order to create a threshold above which to print the markers I use some stats functions from the Math.NET library so if you want to use my indicator you will need to add the DLL and a reference to it of course. I'm not a stats guy so I guessed at a mix of standard deviations and percentile for the thresholds and I've left these internal to the code. Different instruments respond very differently to these settings. Personally I just looked for settings that didn't flood the screen with markers yet gave enough to be of use - very subjective.
[For minute bar users (I use BetterRenko) this does NOT print the markers at the actual price level - it prints in the middle of the bar (OnBarClose) - not something relevant to me so I probably wouldn't be that keen to change it.]
[Apologies to the expert coders here - I have used the Draw function for these markers - in most of my other stuff I use plots, but I just couldn't get a good look with the standard plots.]
My own experience is I couldn't make any sense of the Amateur orders and so I switch them off. The Pro orders really work for me and I add in the Block orders for good measure.
I use these in various ways which I intend to expand on, but generally use them to establish levels that the pros are working at. Bottom line - when you see a load of these markers together - something is brewing!
Oh and I have exposed series for both Pro bars (0, 1, 2, 3 [+/-] for various types) and an overall bias (+1/-1) which is based either off the sign of the order or the price movement - for me I use the price movement e.g. a large sell that causes price to go up is often a better clue than a buy that does the same.

This is just a quick fix to mkHarmonics to fix an XML save issue preventing the indicator from staying on a chart after exiting (but saving). It also was causing an error if you tried to save the settings presets.
I simply added [XmlIgnore()] and commented out [NinjaScriptProperty] for all the brush and font properties.
The original copyright is @mk77ch for the NT7 version. The NT8 conversion from: @psytopy.
dowload and unzip file in NT 8 replay folder Documents\NinjaTrader 8\db\replay
The file will create a folder with the relevant front month and a series of .nrd files inside (one per day)
Make sure to use the "extract here" function as shown, and not the "Extract to" function, to avoid the creation of a folder within a folder.
Note: the archive contains only the dates with the most volume for this contract, meaning, this is data relevant only to when the contract becomes the front month.

So there was this indicator on ThinkorSwim I liked and I knew it was moving averages but it took me awhile to figure out. ( I'm not a programmer) Here is the xml so you can have it also. The reason I like it is because the two sets will gap apart when trending. For me, it gives me a clear picture. You must have EMASlopeColor for it to work found here.
Download file: Then place the file in File>Documents>Ninjatrader 8>Templates>Chart
This is Version 1.2
Because the first had the data series set to "Default 24 x 5". This causes tick chart candles to be
wrong. Special Thanks to @MiniP for pointing this out, and @bobwest for fixing it.
If you downloaded the first Skid Trender chart, change your settings in Data Series to "Use Instrument Settings"
this fixes the problem. Added Priceline to this .XML version.

For my trading i make use of two different fib retracement templates.
One template with the 50% and 61.8% retracements, and a 2nd template with the wolf range to determine the market geometry. Although ninja supports templates for the fibonacci levels, this requires me to select the correct fib. level template every time i want to draw one of them.
To make live easier i made a copy of the fib. retracement drawing tool, modified it so it uses the the wolff range settings by default. That way i don't have to switch templates anymore and i can just select the normal fib tool for my 50%/61.8% retracements and the wolf range drawing tool for drawing a wolf range
Offcourse you also adjust it and use other retracement templates as you like.

The general idea was to better clarify both entry and exit points.
So I created a combination Bollinger Bands and Pivot Points indicator, but utilizing the MIN and MAX functions in order to eliminate the smoothing that comes with Bollinger Bands. By doing so market fluctuations are (for me at least) more clearly defined.
Though I mostly use range bars other bar types also work well.
It is not unusual for me to "turn off" the bars themselves by making them transparent. Much less distracting clutter on the screen and I like things simple.
However, early on it is best to leave the bars visible in order to fully understand the various patterns created by the indicator. Whether in chop or a trending market certain patterns quite often become obvious. And those patterns repeat time and time again.
