New Display Option for Volume Profile Indicator
Volume Profile is one of the most powerful tools used in order flow trading and plots historical volume-at-price activity. This cross-section of trade activity helps users effectively scan for support and resistance and other important price levels.
NinjaTrader’s versatile Order Flow + Volume Profile indicator helps traders visualize volume distribution within the price range of a trading session. Using the latest release of NinjaTrader 8, this powerful tool can now be displayed in the right-hand chart margin to view a profile without overlapping price bars.
