Namely, order flow presentation in a simple, clear way that also met my performance requirements (trading instruments like NQ in very volatile times can be tough!). It also had to be genuinely useful. I trade real $ &#8211; So it can&#8217;t just look pretty.&nbsp; I think it&#8217;s still a unique tool in terms of what it does and how it does it. If you trade futures, I truly believe this is one of the best tools available anywhere, period.

required and fallback to candles when zooming down to where profiles would be unreadable. Maintains performance during times of volatility on modest systems (the NT chart lag issue!). A huge amount of time was spent on making the rendering and operation extremely efficient<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Extensive view and style options. Make it your own. pjsProfileBars unique profiles, traditional flat edge profiles, split buy\/sell volume profiles, ladder delta views, and more. Most colours, fonts, etc., are all customisable. There are some impressive examples on Discord from users.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supports tick aggregation. Seamlessly consolidate ticks for noisy or low liquidity\/volatile instruments like NQ for a much clearer view.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shows and tracks important items such as VPOCs, naked VPOCs, VWAPs, value areas, imbalance levels, and more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Works on any time frame, with ANY underlying bar type (including non-time-based charts, renko, unirenko, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Designed to give you a modern, order flow-based view of your chart bars, without compromising your existing charting. Just slide the x-axis left to zoom in\/out!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Full session profiles available, right or left screen side<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Running Time &amp; Sales, and full depth of market visualisations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Large trade monitoring with automatic scaling and reconstruction of large CME orders, even when broken up by some algos to avoid common techniques used for reconstruction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bucketed volume &amp; delta analysis available. Tells you if the traders are small, large, institutional, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>LLM integration! Yes! Get market overviews and summaries uniquely customised for your market and what is happening now, including financial news, etc!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real-time data feed monitoring and performance logging, with warnings for lagged data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Constantly enhanced and supported.

No credit card required. The indicator simply stops working after 7 days unless licensed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Can I switch from Monthly to Lifetime later?<\/strong><br \/><strong>A:<\/strong> Yes. Contact us within 30 days of your monthly purchase to apply your first month toward a Lifetime license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: How many machines can I install<\/strong> i<strong>t on?<\/strong><br \/><strong>A:<\/strong> Each license allows you to install on up to 2 of your own machines. Laptop &amp; Dekstop, Desktop &amp; VPS, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Does this work with prop firm accounts?<\/strong><br \/><strong>A:<\/strong> Yes. PJSProfileBars works with any NinjaTrader 8 installation, including prop firm evaluations and funded accounts. An OrderFlow+ subscription is NOT required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: What data feed do I need?<\/strong><br \/><strong>A:<\/strong> Level 1 data is required. For some functionalitysuch as Live DOM, we recommend CME Level 2 (Depth of Market). Tick Replay is NOT required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: How is this different from a standard footprint?<\/strong><br \/><strong>A:<\/strong> Traditional footprints show every price level equally, and focus on. PJSProfileBars varies profile width and colour intensities based on <strong>relative<\/strong> importance, letting you identify significant bars instantly without scanning &amp; mentally processing numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you think?
