Free NinjaTrader 8 Indicators

WorldClock

"Which markets are ACTUALLY open right now - and why?"

A full market-calendar engine embedded in NinjaTrader. Not just a clock - it's 5 years of validated holiday logic (2026-2030) for 18+ global exchanges.

• Real-time LIVE/CLOSED/MAINTENANCE status for NYSE, CME, LSE, JPX, and more
• CME Globex handled correctly: Sunday opens, evening re-opens, early closes
• Countdown timers to next session transition
• Holiday awareness with same-day and next-day alerts
• DST boundary handling for US and international markets

LocalClock

"I just need to see the time - on the chart - without leaving my workspace."

When NinjaTrader charts go fullscreen or overlap the taskbar, the system clock disappears. This indicator puts the time back where traders can actually see it.

• Clean, always-visible digital clock directly on your chart
• Multiple timezone support (Local, UTC, or custom)
• 12-hour or 24-hour format with optional seconds
• Flexible positioning: top/center/bottom, left/center/right
• DirectX rendering - no flicker, no lag

FloatingLocalClock

Draggable floating clock overlay showing multiple time zones on your chart.

• Display local time and up to 3 additional time zones
• Draggable positioning anywhere on chart
• Customizable colors and font

FloatingBarTimer

Shows countdown timer for current bar completion, floating near the active bar.

• Supports Tick, Minute, and Second chart types
• Floats dynamically near current bar
• Customizable font and positioning

AsianEuropeanSessionHighLow

"If you're trading without knowing where Asia and Europe actually did business, you're trading blind."

Precisely tracks and plots true Asian (7pm-3am ET) and European (3am-8am ET) session highs/lows using CME Globex trading-day logic, not naive calendar days.

• CME Globex 5:00 PM ET trading-day rollover handled correctly
• Dashed lines while session develops, solid when complete
• Sunday evening opens and overnight sessions handled
• Fully configurable colors, widths, styles, and labels
• Exposes values programmatically for strategies/scanners

BollingerBandWidth

"Volatility tells the truth before price does."

A volatility state engine - not just a histogram. Measures true distance between Bollinger Bands and visualizes expansion, contraction, and squeeze conditions with clean color logic.

• Dynamic coloring: Green (expanding), Red (contracting), Yellow (squeeze)
• Intelligent squeeze detection using rolling average, not hardcoded magic numbers
• Works on tick, minute, and range charts
• Display as histogram bars or line graph
• Keltner Channel squeeze method available

PFHistoricalDownloader

"If your edge depends on clean historical data, this tool exists for you."

A data pipeline component that extracts historical minute and tick data directly from NinjaTrader's data engine to clean, analysis-ready CSV files.

• Downloads minute bars (1m/5m/15m) and tick data via official BarsRequest API
• Chunked, throttled requests - safely pull months or years of data
• Clean CSV output: Unix timestamps (ms), ISO-8601, OHLCV
• Respects instrument trading hours, prevents phantom bars
• Thread-safe file writing, automatic retry tolerance

ChartExportAddOn AddOn

"Export NinjaTrader charts as PNG images for AI/ML vision model analysis."

Automatic chart export with off-screen rendering - works even when NT8 is minimized. Designed for AI vision systems that need clean, consistent chart images.

• Exports on bar close, not fixed intervals (intelligent detection)
• Multiple instruments and timeframes simultaneously
• Off-screen WPF rendering - no visible windows required
• Tick-aligned price axis respects native tick size
• JSON metadata with timestamps and bar times
• GUI configuration via Tools menu with DataGrid editor
