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.

Leave a review →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 can’t 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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My trading has become less stressful and more enjoyable 😎😎💪
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.

What makes Close Bar Entry Orders different from a normal NinjaTrader entry button?
Unlike a standard one-click entry that fires immediately, Close Bar Entry Orders arms the trade and only submits when the bar actually closes — and it supports Market, Limit, Stop, or Stop Limit orders. You also get direction conditions (up/down/any bar), price-basis options like entering above the high or below the low with a tick offset, and a price-level trigger that fires only when price closes beyond a level you select on the chart.
Is Close Bar Entry Orders worth it at $395 for automated bar-close entries?
For traders who rely on confirmed bar closes, Close Bar Entry Orders turns a stressful manual click into a precise, automated entry with one-click cancel if the setup invalidates before the bar finishes. At $395 it adds Market/Limit/Stop/Stop Limit order types, direction conditions, tick-offset price basis, and price-level triggers to your Enhanced Chart Trader on NinjaTrader 8.
