Features

See the pressure. Trade the imbalance.

Order flow reveals the aggressive buyers and sellers behind every move. The strategy reads that pressure in real time and acts on it — automatically.

Volume Delta engine

Measures the imbalance between aggressive buyers and sellers at the bid and ask to reveal true market strength — not just price.

Full automation

Entries, exits, stops, trailing stops and profit targets are all handled for you — eliminating hesitation and emotion.

Prop-firm ready

Built to work within evaluation and funded-account rules, so you can run it on prop challenges and live funded accounts alike.

Trade-copier compatible

Fully compatible with trade copiers so you can mirror the strategy across multiple accounts at once for true multi-account automation.

Built for ES & MES

Tuned for the E-mini (ES) and Micro E-mini (MES) S&P 500, where Volume Delta data is deepest, most reliable, and most actionable.

Test before you risk

Backtest it against historical ES data and run it on a simulated account to build confidence before going live with real size.

How it works

From order flow to filled order

1

Read the delta

Continuously measures Volume Delta on ES and MES, tracking who's in control: aggressive buyers or aggressive sellers.

2

Detect the imbalance

When pressure tips decisively to one side, the bot confirms a high-conviction signal and stages the order.

3

Execute & manage

Enters, sets stop and target, trails the position, and exits — every part of the trade handled for you.

New · Market Pulse Entry

One signal. Three confirmations.

Instead of reacting to a single clue, Market Pulse waits for order flow, stacked imbalances, and volume to align. That triple-confirm prints an MP marker and fires the trade — filtering out the fake-outs that trap single-signal systems.

Built in · Rithmic Data Feed Watch

Feed freezes?
The broker flattens your trade.

Rithmic connections can freeze — charts lock up while your position stays open. When that happens, chart-managed stops may never fire, leaving you exposed with no way to exit.

The Rithmic Data Feed Watch runs on an independent timer and continuously checks data freshness and connection status while you're in a trade. On a stall, freeze, or disconnect it triggers an Account Flatten at the broker level — orders sent straight through the broker, bypassing the frozen chart entirely.

  • Detects data stalls — when tick data stops flowing
  • Detects chart / UI freezes and broker disconnects
  • Broker-level Account Flatten — bypasses the frozen chart
  • Included — no extra cost

What is order flow / Volume Delta?

Order flow is the study of actual buying and selling at each price. Volume Delta measures the difference between aggressive buyers (lifting the ask) and aggressive sellers (hitting the bid) — revealing who's really in control beyond what price alone shows.

Which market and platform does it trade?

It's built for NinjaTrader 8 and designed specifically for the E-mini S&P 500 (ES) and Micro E-mini (MES), where Volume Delta data is deepest and most reliable. You'll need NinjaTrader 8 with a real-time data feed that provides bid/ask volume.

What do I need to run it?

NinjaTrader 8 installed, a real-time data feed that provides bid/ask (Volume Delta) data, and a connected brokerage or SIM account. That's it — import the strategy, configure your inputs, and you're ready to test or trade.

Can I use it with a prop firm?

Yes — it's designed to be prop-firm friendly and works on evaluation and funded accounts. It's also fully compatible with trade copiers, so you can run it across multiple accounts at the same time.

How is it delivered after purchase?

Instantly. After checkout you get a download with the strategy, Volume Delta indicators, manuals and videos, plus your license details — so you can install and start testing right away.

Can I test it before going live?

Yes — and we strongly recommend it. Run the strategy on a simulated (SIM) account in NinjaTrader 8 for at least a few weeks before going live. Trading in SIM lets you learn the settings, see how it behaves across different market conditions, and build confidence with zero financial risk. You can also backtest it against historical data to stress-test it further. Only move to a live account once you're consistently comfortable with how it performs in SIM.

Are there recurring fees?

It depends which option you choose. The two-month lease auto-renews every 2 months until you cancel. The lifetime license is a single one-time payment with no renewals ever. Both include free updates for the life of your license.

What is the Rithmic Data Feed Watch?

It's a built-in safety system, included at no extra cost, that runs on an independent timer while you're in a trade. If your Rithmic data feed stalls, freezes, or disconnects, it triggers an Account Flatten at the broker level — closing your position straight through the broker even when the chart is frozen and chart-managed stops can't fire.

What's the difference between the lease and the lifetime license?

Both give you the full Order Flow Strategy — Volume Delta indicators, the Rithmic Data Feed Watch safety system, manuals and videos. The main difference is trading hours: the lease trades the 8:00 AM–12:00 PM ET morning session, while the lifetime license trades all day. The lease is a lower upfront cost that auto-renews every 2 months until you cancel, and your lease payment can be applied toward the lifetime purchase; the lifetime license is a one-time payment you own outright, with free updates and support for life.
