@NinjaTrader It is great that NT offers Market profile and does a decent job at what it offers. The way it is right how does not help in identifying market generating information to be of any use. . With current layout i can only tell where the value is which is not enough to effectively use all the other market generated information that is so usefull when the TPO is Split. The main main thing that it is missing is splitting the profile, where we can view a session with all the TPO's in separate columns. This helps in identifying more trading opportunities. Requested this and a few months back at NT website and would really appreciate if you can take this up. one other minor that i would like to see is to the ability to select time frame labeling . (what I'm saying is, i would like to start label "A" at start of a session. example for ES "A" should be 9:30-10:00, not start at "B" as it is currently fixed) Thank you.

NinjaTrader does offer an Order Flow + Volume Profile drawing tool of which you can draw a start and end time of a profile, using this method you can set custom start and end times for your profiles. Additionally, if you find that you are splitting at a constant time each session, you can choose a session template to define a start and end time of the Order Flow + Volume Profile indicator. You can set up two new trading hour templates to split the day's sessions as desired and set up the indicator in this way. Please contact us at [email protected] if you need assistance with this setup. If you need to define a custom ‘split’ time each session, which can be different from session to session in the indicator, then this is currently not supported at this time, and we do not have any near term plans to support this.

Sorry, if i'm not clear, When i say splitting i'm talking about time period splits (half hour) as shown below.

With custom trading hours /Session templates i can split RTF and Over night -no issue here.

Oh I see, I forwarded that request internally thank you for clarifying.

@NinjaTrader

I would like to second @sudhirc 's request regarding the ability to "split" the profiles as needed. I agree that it would be an extremely helpful option for users to have this capability.

I also posted the following request on the Ninja Forum pages several months ago. (when you first introduced these new "tools")

With regard to the Letters that are used to identify the different time periods, if this could be built in to allow individual user's a choice of what letters to use, I think that would also greatly enhance the overall usability for the end users.

I live in the US Eastern time zone, and I am used to seeing a B mark the first 30 minute period of the US RTH session,
however I am not used to seeing the use of the letter "U, u" or "Q, q" in the profiles.

Any profile indicator I have used in the past always removed these letters to reduce confusion between "U and V" or "Q and O".

Aside form these small "asks" I am very happy to see NT-8 with Market Profile indicators, it was long overdue.
Thank you.

Thanks for your additional thoughts and comments TopGunNote.

@NinjaTrader

Have you considered adding a field to the chart trader when we define a new order to display the estimated margin used given the number of contracts entered?

I don't recall if this feature was considered in the past. I will add this to our list of future enhancements consideration.

Ninja needs to fix all the the freezing and bug issues it has on NT8.

I was trying a simple strategy on NT8 with a third party renko bar and it keeps freezing. For 3 weeks was in contact with NT support various people kept trying the same fixes over and over nothing worked. So then i got the blame game, ferris wheel. Its the third party bars or indicators. Then it was the uninstall and reinstall many times no success. Then it was we don't know. Then it was don't use third party anything. Then it was your computer. Then it was your anti virus software. Then it was gotta call Microsoft. Its still freezing. Oops. Forgot the blame the fast markets. It was happening before the markets got fast. Forgot its you internet connection...too slow to fast ect....

So a few of us here abandoned the strategy project that we were working on due to the bugs and issues with NT8.
