NinjaTrader 8 · Orderflow tools for ICT traders

The orderflow layer your ICT thesis was missing.

A complete order-flow toolkit for traders who already read the chart in ICT terms. Resting depth where price wants to sweep. Real institutional size behind the displacement candle. SMT-style confluence across correlated futures. Volume-validated Fair Value Gaps and sweep-gated iFVGs. The model tells you where. FlowForged tells you whether.

FlowForged Analytics indicators running on a NinjaTrader 8 chart. Delta divergence, absorption, and exhaustion signals
MNQ, 1-minute. The 15m FVG is the level. Refine shows it’s volume-validated. Hammer marks the institutional buys behind the displacement. The thesis and the tape, on the same chart.
THE SUITE

Every layer of confirmation, on one chart.

Nine indicators, each built around one question your ICT model can’t answer alone: who’s putting orders at the level, who’s pulling them, which Fair Value Gaps are backed by real displacement, which iFVGs are gated by a real sweep, when correlated futures agree, and when the orderflow disagrees with price. Run one. Run all of them. Same toolbar, same engine, same answer: the tape, on the level you’re already watching.
Anvil
DOM Depth & Resting Liquidity

Plots the large resting bids and asks on your chart before price gets there. The walls the algorithm is drawing toward, and the ones it pulls before the sweep. Zone mode for chart-wide context, lifespan mode for watching liquidity build and disappear in real time.

Level 2 DepthReal-Time
Hammer
Institutional Order Flow & Large Lot Detection

The displacement candle that broke your bias. Was it a 50-lot retail order or an 800-lot fund? Hammer reassembles fragmented institutional orders from the tick stream and prints the true size on the bar that did the damage. Now you know whether the move was the algorithm or the noise.

Forge
Real-Time SMT-Style Confluence

Real-time SMT-style confirmation across the correlated futures. When ES, NQ, RTY, and YM all see aggressive selling inside the same one-second window, you’re not looking at noise. You’re looking at coordinated algorithmic delivery across the index complex. The kind of cross-market alignment that decides whether a sweep continues or fails.

Historical + LiveMulti-Instrument
Flux
Order Flow Reversal Detection

Price makes a new high into your premium array. The CVD is already falling. Volume hits a level, and price refuses to move. Flux catches exhaustion, absorption, and delta divergence at the moment they happen. Before the candle closes, before the reversal is obvious, while you still have a clean entry on the side the orderflow says is correct.

Historical + Live5 Signal Types
Refine
Volume-Validated Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)

You already see the FVG. Refine tells you whether the orderflow agrees. A volume-validation engine grades every Fair Value Gap by the conviction behind its displacement candle, so the chart shows the gaps that were forged by real institutional size. Not the ones that were a side effect of two consolidating candles. Three-tier conviction glow, displacement POC, CE line, iFVG inversion tracking, sweep-gated iFVGs.

Historical + LiveVolume Validated
HTF FVG
Higher-Timeframe Fair Value Gaps

You scalp the 1-minute. Your bias lives on the 15m and 1H. HTF FVG pulls 5m, 15m, 1H, and 4H Fair Value Gaps onto the chart you’re actually trading. Edge rails, CE lines, mitigation tracking, so the level you care about is sitting on the candle you’re entering on. No second window. No flipping. No eyeballed levels.

Displace
15m FVG Displacement Continuation. NQ / MNQ

The 15m FVG is the thesis. The orderflow chain is the trade. Displace gates every setup on a retrace into the gap, then tracks the multi-FVG displacement chain that confirms continuation. D1 and D2 fire the trade, D3–D5 give you additional entries while the move runs. Auto entry, stop, and target levels. Calibrated for NQ and MNQ.

Trade Planner & Order Placement

Click your entry inside the FVG. Set your stop above the last untouched high. Risk/Reward sizes the position to your dollar risk, draws stops and targets with live $ and R, and submits the full bracket. One click, no Chart Trader, no DOM dance. Snap-to-bar so your entry sits exactly where the model says it does.

Live Order PlacementAuto-Sizing
Tally
Live Trade Management Overlay

Once the entry fires, Tally takes over. Live $/R/point on every working leg, a break-even line that actually moves as partial exits lock in profit, an R:R verdict panel that tells you in real time whether the trade still earns its risk, and an auto-screenshot at entry and exit so the journal builds itself. Six themes.

Refine on NQ. Volume-validated FVGs with iFVG inversions. Gold POC lines mark the price where the heaviest execution occurred inside each gap.
ONE TOOLBAR

Nine indicators. One row of controls.

Every FlowForged indicator drops a pill into the same chart toolbar. Stacked, reorderable, scoped to that panel. The Master Switch kills rendering for the entire suite without removing a single indicator, so you can show the chart clean to a backtester or a propfirm reviewer, then bring everything back the way you had it. Ctrl+Alt+T toggles it from the keyboard. The chart stays yours.
The Master Switch and toolbar pill controls in action. Toggle rendering, hide pills, and reorder the stack on the fly.
Master Switch. Rendering

One click disables rendering for every FlowForged indicator on the chart panel. The engines keep processing in the background, so toggling back on instantly restores every active zone, marker, and level. No recompute, no state loss.

👁
Toolbar visibility

Hide every indicator pill with one toggle while keeping the indicators themselves running. Perfect for clean screenshots or a distraction-free chart. The hidden state is saved with your chart workspace so it survives restarts.

Reorder the stack

Each pill exposes ↑/↓ arrows to move it up or down in the stack. The order persists across NT8 restarts via a side-file, not just the workspace XML, so close-without-save can’t reset your layout.

^⌥T
Keyboard shortcut

Press Ctrl + Alt + T on the chart to toggle the Master Switch without reaching for the mouse. Scoped to the focused chart panel. Multiple chart windows operate independently.

Per-panel scoping

Every chart panel gets its own independent Master Switch. Hide the indicators on a secondary data series while keeping them visible on your main execution chart, all in the same window.

Works for every indicator

Same Master Switch, same stacking layout, same reorder UX whether you’re running one indicator or all of them. Every paid suite tool and every free indicator participates in the same toolbar system.

WHY FLOWFORGED

Built by a trader. Engineered for the trader.

Every indicator in the suite reads raw tick data and Level 2 depth events directly. No NinjaTrader Order Flow+ license required, no third-party engines, no copied calculations from someone else’s footprint. Delta, CVD, absorption, displacement. All reconstructed in-house, on your machine.
No Order Flow+ required

Every indicator reconstructs delta, CVD, and absorption straight from the tick stream and depth events on your machine. You don’t need NinjaTrader’s Order Flow+ subscription. That’s roughly $600 a year you keep, and a layer of dependency you don’t carry.

SharpDX hardware-accelerated

All rendering uses Direct2D through SharpDX. The same GPU pipeline NinjaTrader uses internally. Zero flicker, zero lag, even on fast-moving instruments with hundreds of markers on screen.

Unified toolbar system

Every indicator adds a dark-themed pill to your chart toolbar. Master Switch toggles rendering for the entire suite. Stackable, reorderable, keyboard-shortcut-driven. See it in action ↑

Works on any futures contract

Tuned on ES, MES, NQ, MNQ, CL, RTY, and YM. The contracts most ICT futures traders actually run. Works on anything else NinjaTrader sees through Rithmic, CQG, Kinetick, or any other compatible feed.

Built by an ICT trader

Every product in the suite exists because the same trader hit the same wall: the model gave the level, but didn’t tell him whether to take it. FlowForged is the layer he built to answer that question, and now ships to traders trying to answer the same one.

THE FORGE

Passive meets aggressive.

HTF FVG draws the higher-timeframe gaps onto your execution chart. Refine grades each one by the orderflow behind it. Displace tracks what happens when price retraces into a 15m FVG, and whether the displacement chain expands the way the model says it should. Anvil shows the resting walls price is drawing toward. Hammer reveals the institutional size hitting those walls. Forge confirms across the correlated futures. Flux catches the moment the orderflow disagrees with the level. Risk/Reward plans and places the bracket. Tally runs the trade until it's closed.
