Are there any Ninja Trader 8 programmers here? I am trying to learn ninja script but have a ways to go. I am looking for an NT8 indicator that plots the VA's (high and low value area) on the close of a bar. Over time, this may appear to be two lines.... that look similar to Bollinger Bands, but more smooth and not always straddling price action.

I am also looking for a similar NT8 indicator that plots the POC on the close of a bar. Over time, this may appear to be a line.... horizontal most of the time, but moving slightly up or down, sometimes with gaps when the standard POC gets bumped to a new price level.

Any help would be appreciated!!!



Thank you,

Sounds like the indicator tc_barprofiler can do it. It's free, Google it. I use it only for the per bar POC and value area, and have disabled the per bar profile.

@Todd A, sounds like Planetkill's is all you need, but fwiw, if I'm understanding correctly, it's also stock on nt8, "Order Flow Volume Profile" indi.
Here's an example. Note you can have the actual price number show alongside the POC and VA's, though they're not in this example, I mostly just pay attention to the visual poc's for entry/exit aid, like a cleaner chart. Many setting options to get the way you want.

What I like about tc bar profiler is that unlike the stock NT8 order flow suite, or it's volumetric bars, tcbarprofiler can be added to regular tick, volume, and time chart bars. So that it does not visually expand the gaps between bars, and allows you to continue seeing the zoomed out pic.

Attached is an example of my own chart, where the inner yellow line is the 70% value area, and blue dash is the POC. I found making decisions on this chart much faster and easier for me than the info overload from volumetric or order flow+ indicator.

Hi Todd,

I may be wrong but I think what you mean is called the "Developing Value Area" and "Developing POC". You can make this visible with NT8 "Order Flow Volume Profile".
