Close Bar Entry Orders
An Enhanced Chart Trader module that submits your entry orders automatically the moment a bar closes.
Overview
Close Bar Entry Orders is a set of buttons that initiate a trade entry immediately on the close of a bar. With one click, the Enhanced Chart Trader submits the entry order when the current bar closes, removing the challenge of trying to enter manually in a fast-moving market.
If a setup becomes invalid or your decision changes before the bar closes, the close-bar logic can be cancelled simply by clicking the button again.
This module expands the Enhanced Chart Trader and requires the Basic Chart Trader Tools foundation, which can be added to any Chart window in NinjaTrader.

What Customers Are Saying
“This review is LONG overdue.. these tools have been vital for me along my trading journey. I trade the Nasdaq and it moves quick so I used to miss a lot of trades having to click 3x to place an order - not to mention having to manually calculate my front run price on the fly (I am a levels trader).”
“Great Trade Copier! I recently got it and it is exactly what I was looking for. I have Apex evals with Rithmic so I have all my accounts risk management through that. I like that the copier does market orders on all of the follower accounts to ensure fills. Also I like the take profit and stops are only on the leader account.”
“I've purchased 2 indicators from Affordable Indicators thus far: The Enhanced Chart Trader (Nov 2022) & the Accounts Dashboard (Oct 2023). As a scalper, the Enhanced Chart Trader is literally THE MOST important part of my trading as I need instant executions of orders on bar close.”

Leave a review βGreat tools, first I purchased exit tool, and it was my game changing risk reward manager, I really start to adjust consciously my strategy, and today I bought enter on close tool to work my edge on Renko. Joel, the owner, is a very kind and good human, apart of great job his team is doing. Good luck
Most available indicators at the most affordable cost. Live support always available. Several contacts with support with immediate reply and immediate resolution to any issue. Even on a Saturday they replied. To me that is very important. A+ company
The "Trade Copier" has worked very smoothly between my NT8 account and Prop Firm accounts. The "Basic Chart Trader Tools" is a tremendous upgrade when compared with the NT8 Chart Trader. And the "Close Bar Entry Orders" tool has been a game changer! I trade with tick charts, and this tool is incredible. My overall experience has been great!
I purchased the Trade Copier and The Close Bar Module for the Enhanced Chart Trader. I love them both. I did take the time to read the manual and test everything out before hand and everything works as it should.
The Trade Copier is handy for those that want to trade multiple accounts at once, for example if you have multiple prop firm accounts. You can adjust for different lot sizes and even ATM strategies depending on your account.
I tried a free copier, and that wasn't nearly as user friendly.
The enhanced chart trader is amazing. I love that you can leave the chart on ES, but still be able to trade micros. I bought the Close Bar entry module that comes with the Basic Chart Trader, and use it to place my entries above the highs/ lows, letting me automatically place an order down, once the bar closes. There are various ways you can use this, so make sure you read the manual and test out how everything works.
I had a few questions regarding their products, both before and after purchase, and they answered promptly and was very helpful. If you are on the fence, or not entirely sure if their products are what you are looking for, chat with them and find out.
This review is LONG overdue.. these tools have been vital for me along my trading journey. I trade the Nasdaq and it moves quick so I used to miss a lot of trades having to click 3x to place an order - not to mention having to manually calculate my front run price on the fly (I am a levels trader). These tools have made the process so much simpler and quicker.
I love the functionality.. adjusting things on the fly (LMT, SLM, MKT, etc), being able to set a different ATM to an already pending order so you do not lose your place in the queue! You can also visualize your stops and target before placing your order so you can decide whether you need make adjustments once you're filled or select another ATM.
I especially like the 'close bar entry' module as I often like to take a trade once a level is closed through and time after time price would move too quick for me to get the order in. Now I can have this set before the level is even broken through and the order will not be submitted until price does so. With that being said, the best part about this company is Joel and his team.
They are quick to respond.. Joel has personally called me multiple times to troubleshoot issues AND even to work with me to implement a feature into the 'advanced risk management' module that I had personally requested. Where do you find that level of customer service in this industry?! What are you waiting for, you will not be dissatisfied. Thank you, Joel (and team).
Joel and his team deliver excellent products that have significantly improved my trading experience in NinjaTrader, and the consistency in my trading overall. Joel even custom coded a feature into the Enhanced Chart Trader that I was curious about, in a couple of days, which is wild and I'm very grateful for.
I purchased the Trade Copier + Account Manager + Risk Manager, which perform smoothly when copy trading multiple accounts with various ATM strategies and detailed risk parameters. It's given me better execution on follower accounts, easy account management, and detailed safety features to combat my own mistakes.
I also use the Close Bar Entry add-on, which has allowed me to execute certain strategies consistently that were previously impossible to execute manually when using funded prop accounts.
Definitely recommend using their products and reaching out with any questions. David, Joel and their team are kind, thoughtful, and deliver a lot of value.
Great Trade Copier! I recently got it and it is exactly what I was looking for. I have Apex evals with Rithmic so I have all my accounts risk management through that. I like that the copier does market orders on all of the follower accounts to ensure fills. Also I like the take profit and stops are only on the leader account.
I copy micros into one account so I don't want to get knocked out by a tick since it doesn't move tick by tick with the minis. Also I use the Apex Chart Trader with a 4 tick offset trading the NQ to get in a trade on bar close. This only applies to the leader account and not the follower accounts with the copier which I really like.
I've purchased 2 indicators from Affordable Indicators thus far: The Enhanced Chart Trader (Nov 2022) & the Accounts Dashboard (Oct 2023).
As a scalper, the Enhanced Chart Trader is literally THE MOST important part of my trading as I need instant executions of orders on bar close.
When I first started using the Enhanced Chart Trader, I had a few hangups with the indicator placing the entry at the close of the incorrect bar if multiple Renko Bars were painted within milliseconds of each other.
I reached out to Joel and informed him of the issue and he was able to locate the issue and fix it! I was so impressed with his attentiveness and communication throughout the process!
Ever since then, the indicator has worked PERFECTLY. What I love most is my ability to click a button to indicate that I want an order placed at the close of the bar and quickly deselect the button if price moves and invalidates my setup. I also love how I'm able to click a "BE" button if my setup is invalidated shortly after entry.
I scalp NQ so these features are NECESSARY.
I purchased the Accounts Dashboard indicator not too long ago because I was tired of manually calculating the trailing threshold for my prop firm accounts each day. It was tedious and ANNOYING lol.
I love how the Accounts Dashboard keeps up with everything. I love the user interface. I just love everything!
Joel provides HIGH QUALITY indicators that are SO WORTH THE PRICE!
Corporate level programming with a sole proprietor, customer service, feel. The owner, Joel, creates very reliable indicators at a very affordable price, and he will go the extra mile for you -to get the most out of his creations. I bought his closed bar entry indicator before, and now just bought his newest program called the Duplicate Account Action. The indicator works flawlessly and canβt wait to see where it goes from here.
As a long-time NinjaTrader user, I needed tools to help minimize risk and maximize profits in my trading. Affordable Indicators has not only met those goals but far exceeded them. The support is incredible. I have great conversations with the developer on ideas and where products are headed. Chart Trader is central to my daily workflow, and now as I add Eval accounts, Duplicate Accounts and Account Risk Manager are now central to my day-to-day.
I have confidence that I can just focus on trading and Account Risk Manager will ensure I don't violate the rules during eval. ChartTrader is incredible as I know whatever the situation is, I have the tools to execute. From needing the flexibility between close bar entries, resting orders and various stop methods like trailing high/low of bars and fixed trailing mode, I can switch between the method I need during that time to minimize my risk and maximize my entry positioning. I don't need any other tools and I'm really thankful these tools exist. Thank You!
I wasted a lot of time before while buy other softwares and found close bar entry software. Work very well better than I expected Joel great programmer and he thinks about everything in software. 5 stars βββββ
My trading has become less stressful and more enjoyable πππͺ
I purchased the Enhanced Chart Trader in Aug '21. There's a lot of features built into it but there is no better way to place a limit order. I trade on Ninja Trader. Before I purchased the Enhanced Chart Trader I had to right click on a chart (which blocked the chart) and place a limit order at a specific price. Now I can left click to initiate an order, I can then move the order to the exact place I want it and then another simple left click places the order. That feature alone makes my purchase worth it.
I am using the Enhanced Chart Trader with Renko bars. With the click of one button, it allows me to enter at the bar close at predetermined key levels. This is an excellent feature that is not offered with the default NT chart trader.
Joel and his team deliver quality products and are very responsive to feedback and customer service.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I enter a trade at the close of a bar in NinjaTrader 8?
With Close Bar Entry Orders, an Enhanced Chart Trader module, you click a close bar button on your chart and the entry is submitted automatically the moment the current bar closes. That removes the rush of clicking in by hand after waiting for a setup to confirm. If the setup becomes invalid before the bar finishes, click the button again to cancel the pending entry.
Which order types and bar conditions does Close Bar Entry Orders support?
It can place a Market, Limit, Stop or Stop Limit entry. You choose the bar condition for each side: a long entry on an up bar, a down bar or any bar, and a short entry on a down bar, an up bar or any bar. Bar Count can require several qualifying bars in a row, and Doji Logic Mode decides how indecision bars are treated.
Can I enter above the high or below the low of the closing bar?
Yes. The Price Basis setting decides where the entry is placed. Close puts the order at the bar's closing price plus or minus a number of ticks. High / Low puts a buy above the bar's high and a sell below its low, with an offset in ticks. You can also select a price level on the chart and enter only when a bar closes beyond that level.
Does Close Bar Entry Orders work on Renko and range charts?
Yes. The entry fires when a bar on your chart closes, so it follows the bar type you trade, and it was built with Renko, UniRenko and similar bar types in mind. On Minute and Second charts, Early Entry (Seconds) can submit the qualified entry a few seconds before the bar closes, which is handy around fast moves such as news releases.
Will my ATM stop and target attach to a close bar entry?
Yes, when an ATM strategy is selected. Close Bar entries are handed to NinjaTrader's ATM engine, which places the stop and target defined in that template. If the ATM dropdown is set to None, the entry goes to the broker with nothing attached. Owners of Essential or Professional Chart Trader Tools can turn on ATM Strategy Required to block entries without an ATM.
Is Basic Chart Trader Tools included with Close Bar Entry Orders?
Yes. Close Bar Entry Orders comes with Basic Chart Trader Tools, the foundation of every Enhanced Chart Trader product. Basic replaces the standard NinjaTrader Chart Trader and adds click entry buttons, a breakeven button, profit and loss display and trade management. Both run from the same Enhanced Chart Trader download, which you can add to any chart window in NinjaTrader.
Does it work with NinjaTrader 8.0.28.0?
Yes. It runs on every NinjaTrader 8.1.x.x release, including the latest, 8.1.8.3, and on NinjaTrader 8.0.28.0, the last 8.0 release. 8.0.28.0 takes its own build: after you buy, request it in your Members Area (NinjaScript Downloads, then NinjaTrader 8.0.28.0) or ask us on live chat and we will set you up.
