How our team works with you
We are a small team, so the people on this page are the people who answer your questions. Joel leads the programming behind our NinjaTrader indicators and add-ons, David runs day-to-day operations, and Larry looks after customer experience. All three of us trade futures ourselves, which is where most of our product ideas come from.

How our products are built
Most of our products start as a problem a trader brings to us, often in a support chat. We build them for NinjaTrader Desktop, use them on our own charts and accounts, and keep improving them after release, so customer feedback decides much of what goes into each new version. When you report a problem, it goes to the people who can fix it.
Are you part of NinjaTrader?
No. Affordable Indicators is an independent company that builds add-ons for NinjaTrader Desktop. We cannot see or change your NinjaTrader account, platform license or brokerage account, but we know the platform well and are glad to help with setup questions where we can.
How long have you been doing this?
Joel has written NinjaScript for more than 18 years, and more than 8,000 traders have used our tools. That history is why so many of our answers start with a question about your NinjaTrader version, your connection and what changed just before the problem began.
