Essential Chart Trader Tools

Joel provides functionality for NinjaTrader which really should have been part of the base product from NinjaTrader themselves. Since they did not, kudos to Joel for providing what I consider required capabilities for my style of trading. Support from Joel and team, and explainer videos on their YT channel are also very helpful.

The Chart Trader is great! I purchased the Trade copier and had a minor issue with the install (May have been user error). Emailed the team and got a quick response with an immediate phone call that fixed the installation. (Did I say in a matter of hours??) The customer service and products are second to none!!

I purchased the Essential Chart Trader Tool last weekend and I can honestly say it is by far the BEST investment on a trading software I have ever made. I personally use the tool to predetermine my R:R, set profit targets and a fixed $ risk. All of these have made an enourmous impact on my trading already, by cleanly managing my trade and risk with very little effort, thanks to these tools.

When I look for reliable trading software, I grade it on 3 things:

1. Great functionality

2. Easy Navigation (i.e. user friendly)

3. Excellent Customer Support

Affordable Indicators checks ALL of the above boxes. When I first went to install it, I encountered a minor issue, and Joel was right there to support me all the way (which is rare - most companies after selling you the product, put you in a long 'queue' for any support).

It's very obvious that Joel has put a lot of thought and effort into these unbelievably amazing products and he has a true passion for his craft. You now have a lifelong customer and I am truly grateful to have found your products and take my trading to the next level! A BIG THANK YOU!!

Best Chart Trader! I've never seen anything like that. The risk management possibilities for traders with varying stops are priceless. The position size adjusts automatically. The trade copier works flawless and is easy to configure. The support is great! Thank you Joel, David and the rest of the team! Keep going!

Simply elegant Suite. Not a bunch of random products. The anccount duplicator and risk management features appear in the basic and essential chart trader so the UI across products is uniform passively contributing to execution accuracy beyond the features themselves. Big fan.

Affordable Indicators was the company I was pointed out when searching for a trustable trade copier. Well, what I found was something FAR beyond my expectations! Not only the copier is a top-notch product, but ALL these guys have built.

I bought two lincenses for the copier and the Enhanced Chart Trader - for my PC my laptop - something that made possible an effective trading activity using NT.

If you have any doubt about the quality of these excellent add-ons for NT, doubt no more. Just get it, NOW!

As for one last word, I'd like to thank all the AI crew, specially mr. Joel Wise for all the support, kind words and the great empathy he showed to me when I was in dire need.

May Life give him multiple times what he has given to me!

Great products and great customer service. Never an issue.

your chart trader is the BEST! Thank you Joel!

The risk reward position size saves a ton of time for me as I mostly scalp. Excellent stuff.

The Enhanced Chart Trader is an outstanding tool. The indicator attachment feature for setting breakout entries and trailing stops is genius.

Wow, the enhanced chart trader is amazing. Much better than other solutions I tried. I think its the best way to manage risk in nt8.

I've been using Accounts Dashboard Suite and Essential Chart Trader Tools since November 2024, and they have significantly improved my trading experience. I can fully concentrate on one account, while the results are automatically reflected across all my other accounts. The trade copying is flawless. I've mainly communicated with Joel Ryan Wyse and David, and their support has been outstanding. If you're managing multiple accounts, I highly recommend these tools.

I bought in november'24 the Essential Chart Trader Tools. I am very happy and satisfied with this product, its a big step forward in comparsion with the standaard Ninjacharttrader. Installation is easy and the settings / setup are easy to understand too. The benefit for me are the possiblity's from the Essential Chart trader, like the easy and fast access to the buttons of position sizing and atm strategy's, so you can change very fast.

I like to the product the most, because of the option 'size off / size on $). Your order size is automatically calculated depening on the price and the risk, so you dont need to count yourself and have the right order size for your risk you want to take.

I have a very great experience with the customer service, its excellent. Personal, one to one, focused on helping and solutions. They really want the best for their customers, for me its a great product and a great company. Thanks Joel, keep on going!

This tool is amazing. Sizing is very hard for me to assess, specially on the fly. The moment I have an idea on which size is appropriate for a give opportunity, the opportunity is already gone! Love it

I've been using the Enhanced Chart Trader, Trade Copier, and Account Manager products, and I must say, they're absolutely fantastic—second to none! My favourite features are the ATM Protection and the position sizing calculator, which take the guesswork out of scalping. I also love the ATM Copy feature, which allows each prop account to have its own unique ATM.

Since I started trading 1.5 years ago, these products have leveled up my trading and helped me manage my downside effectively. And a special shoutout to Joel—he's fantastic at responding and making changes on request. He's really engaged with the community, making the whole experience even better.

Greatest update ever. I love how we can now plan even with risk management before executing the trade. I will love if we could add on that plan atm the option to attach the STOPS to an indicator that way I don’t have to go and adjust the trade later

Trade copier , slick Very Clean east to understand dash board works seamlessly .Essential Chart Tools and Limit if touch are epic, Nq has a lot of HFT Stop hunter algos, Limit if Touched keeps it on your End so you only get hit if your actually wrong . The Chart tools are 100x faster and superior with instant order placement and Break even plus, There's a Bid and ask Depth Histogram and loads of options for trailing stops on indicators, candlesticks ect. Really great for fast chart trading Nq . Game changer for Ninja Chart Trading .

I’ve been using Accounts Dashboard Suite and Essential Chart Trader Tools since November 2024, and they have significantly improved my trading experience. One of the biggest advantages is how comfortable and efficient trading becomes. I can fully concentrate on one account, while the results are automatically reflected across all my other accounts. The trade copying is flawless, ensuring precise execution without extra effort.

The Accounts Dashboard Suite makes managing multiple accounts effortless, giving me a clear real-time overview of performance and risk. Meanwhile, Essential Chart Trader Tools provides fast and accurate order execution, ensuring I never miss an opportunity.

I’ve mainly communicated with Joel and David, and I can say their support has been outstanding. What truly sets this team apart is how they listen to traders and act fast. If users report issues or suggest improvements, they quickly release updates with fixes and new features. It’s great to see a development team that actually cares about its traders!

If you’re managing multiple accounts, I highly recommend these tools. They make trading more comfortable and efficient, allowing you to focus on one account while achieving synchronized results across all others. The software is reliable, constantly evolving, and has made my trading far more efficient and profitable.

Wow, I was feeling very overwhelmed trying to find the right platform and just begin being more consistent with one platform, one software, one plan. Your tools make Ninja so much more friendly and from what I see it offers the trader so much more control and confidence throughout. I LOVE the Position sizing feature, as a new trader this is what I was looking for, a way to risk a static amount and not blow to much on any trade. The position sizing for me makes this whole bundle worth every penny.

Ok step 1, make money trading with the default tools, step 2, upgrade to these features and start a more confident trading career. Thanks for developing all this, hoping to be a future customer.

Enhanced chart trader is a most needed tool. A lot of functionalities should be built-in on ninjatrader already, but unfortunatelly its not. The "greatest" platform and broker of futures markets is still in the dark ages and refuses to evolve. Well, thankfully we can have our problems solved by third party and good developers, like Joel. Yes, its a little expensive but thats because its an excellent and refined product. Furthermore, one can reach out to Joel, who is a super nice guy, to negotiate and see if there is any discounts available, etc. Its an investment after all, and a necessary one for those who pretend to use Ninjatrader as a pro.

I've tested multiple indicators from various companies, and while many of them were quite good, I can confidently say that the Essential Chart Trader, Accounts Dashboard, RSI and MA Trend indicators are truly the best I’ve used.

Each product is not only intuitive and easy to use, but also incredibly powerful. The Essential Chart Trader, in particular, has innovative features that I haven’t encountered anywhere else. It has greatly simplified my trading, making it much more efficient.

Also, their customer support is outstanding. Every time I’ve had a question or needed clarification, their team has been quick and eager to help. Highly recommend!

I bought the enhanced chart trader from Joel watched his videos on it and was impressed about how slick he had it set up after getting it and his last update on it to make it better i was blown away If you are a scalper and you want something that is fast and precise get the enhanced chart trader you will not be disappointed

I purchased enhanced chart trader a couple of weeks ago. The main reason for purchasing was that it had a position sizing tool built into the program. Position sizing with proper money management improves R multiples and expectancy exponentially.

This indicator works as advertised and I'm extremely happy with it. Also unlike most other 3rd party indicators, if your machine ID changes you only have to go to your dashboard on affordable indicators to change it instantly. Support has been great, I have already used the AI self help and that works well too. There is so much more you can do with this tool I haven't scratched the surface yet. Their YouTube videos go into more detail.

I started trading futures a year and a half ago through prop firms on NQ, ES, GC and CL. I started with a competitors trade copy software and it was a nightmare. There weren't many advanced features, and it wasn't very reliable at all.

I stumbled upon Joel's website and decided to start with the enhanced chart trader. I absolutely love the features on this. Besides having a feature that auto adjusts the number of contracts to your risk size, and also being able to place the trade on the chart and adjust it before actually executing it, it is extremely feature rich and extremely helpful with risk management.

Eventually, I decided to bite the bullet and try the Enhanced Chart Trader. All I can say is wow! The accounts dashboard makes everything clear in terms of your accounts, balances, ability to hide your account numbers, ratios, crossover from mini to micro, etc. One feature I particularly love is being able to lead with SIM. This enables me to place a trade with minis on a SIM account, and then copy all the follower accounts as a micro crossover. I like this better than switching between micro and mini charts - it's much easier this way. Also, the copy trading is way more reliable than the competitor I was working with.

As for customer service, I have spoken with Joel many times, and he is always responsive. Today, I contacted him about a suggestion. 20 minutes later, I received a message that there was an updated version of the Duplicate account Actions on his website. While that isn't the norm, it was certainly appreciated! He is always open to feedback. He makes you fee like a partner. When you make a suggestion or request a new feature, you can bet that it won't fall on deaf ears, but into the ears of a dedicated businessman who really takes pride in his work.

Overall, I highly recommend working with Joel.

Thanks Joel for the constant updates to an already awesome piece of software ❤❤❤

Excellent product I use it every day

Affordable Indicators creates the best indicators. Joel is consistently listening to his clients when updating and creating new features. I love the Enhanced Chart Trader and I highly recommend the copier as well. JOB WELL DONE!!

Great revision and Game changer from the original platform Order panel. Now you can manage orders & risk 'on the fly' especially for traders like me that adjust Risk and Position sizing according to each trade setup's ranking.👏 Thank You Joel, great job can't wait to use it Live.

I purchased the duplicate accounts and chart trader tools.

The duplicate accounts works great with multiple prop accounts. It has several custom settings like hiding accounts or trading mini's to micro's. I was having an issue with other trade copiers when accounts were not closing or when closing would reopen an order in the opposite direction. Now if that happens I can monitor it easily on the display and immediately close it.

The chart trader has several nice custom functions. I like the click to order and the order on close of bar features. These features have improved my entries so I get better order fills than just entering on a market order. Its also so easy to use, no right clicking on the screen to place a stop order. Just click the button on the chart trader then place the cursor on the chart where you want to enter.

I have got five funded accounts in one day as soon as I started using these tools. It has improved my edge in trading by 100%. I recommend these tools from Affordable indicators inc.

Great customer service.

I purchased the enhanced chart trader , it's a beast, I'm still learning all the of the functions but it's an amazing product and Joel is constantly making updates.

I have been using Joel’s ‘enhanced chart trader’ indicator for a couple of years now. I bought the indicator primarily because I wanted to automatically change my contract numbers based on my stop size - this is critical for risk management and also to get the most from my system. My execution is now flawless.

Joel is always adding features to the indicator too - the recently added visual tool that shows my risk/reward on the chart allows me to automatically see the trade profitability as I change my stop or target levels - this saves me time and it helps me sqeeze out that little bit extra.

Prior to finding ‘enhanced chart trader’ I tried a bunch of other options - they were either too cumbersome and complicated or they didn’t feel like they integrated with Ninjatrader very well.

I would highly recommend giving Joel a shout if you are looking for an indicator on Ninjatrader. He is always super responsive and is willing to listen when I have asked him for feature additions.

Awesome Joel!..

I really like the ATM strat plan with 4 targets, The position sizong and being able to close T1,T2,T3 and T4..Job well done!

As a NQ scalper, these chart trading tools have become invaluable to my trading business. Quick selection of ATM orders, clearly seeing the brackets on chart while I plan my trade, and assorted other options make this one of the best products I've purchase for Ninjatrader to date. Customer service is fast and effective. Thank you for the continued updates!

I puchased Basic Chart Trader Tools because I wanted to be able to place a trade anywhere on the chart quick and fast. My favorite is the buy or sell click trade on the chart buttons. BE break even button is a must have. I also use all the time is the Buy Ask -1 and the sell Bid +1. Im a firm believer of you get what you pay for and any tool made by Affordable Indicators is the best in professional Quality. I look foward to one day getting the Essential Chart Trader Tools. The Contact and support is first class. 5 stars for sure in my book.

Absolutely a game gamer in the industry, Great video Joel. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Joel. I love the Breakeven button with the scroll for offset. I’ll be digging into the ATM work tonight.

These sizing features are super helpful for my trading strategy. Thanks Joel!

Absolutely a game changer! Been using this chart trader for a while and could never go back to the Ninja chart trader! These new features are amazing- as always thanks Joel for listening to us customers and continually improving your already amazing products!

Great job, Joel. I am constantly learning new things. I can't tell you how much money you have saved me with the ease of your risk management tools alone.

Love the upgrades to the ATM Management.

awesome features !! easy to stay profitable and control our trades way better!!!

Affordable Indicators new Trade Copier is AWESOME! I have used two other trade copiers for quite some time now and have just started using the Affordable Indicators trade copier because I really like their Enhanced Chart Trade panel. One thing is for certain, their trade copier is definitely the best. It has far more options to customize executions yet once set up it has a simpler, cleaner, yet more powerful interface. Plus to top it all off their customer service was great.

I have been using Enhanced Chart Trader from Affordable Indicators for over a year now. I am very happy with this tool. It allows me to fine-tune my entries and exits in real-time, thus helping to pocket extra ticks while taking profits and minimizing losses by a few ticks. This tool has several features that you can customize according to your trading style and needs.

I particularly like the ability to define and create buttons for quick entry and exit for limit orders based on current ask and bid prices with offsets. I have not seen any order management tool as user-friendly and effective as Enhanced Chart Trader. Joel, the developer of this tool, is very friendly, as well as responsive, and provides great customer support.

I would to thank Joel and his team for the extra effort with fine tuning the Enhanced Chart Trader for Ninja. It has increased the speed and accuracy of my trades and the extra risk/reward capabilities help size my trades before they are executed. I would highly recommend Affordable Indicators for any of the tools they have developed to enhance your trading experience. Their superior customer service is just another reason to chose Affordable Indicators. Thanks!

It is my pleasure and without reservations to recommend the services and products of Joel. For about a decade now we have been working on numerous projects, some of them being complex custom indicators. I am impressed with Joel’s commitment to generate a top-quality product. His attention to detail, strong technical skills and excellent service provides for indicators which are robust, reliable, rich of features and easy to use. The same is to be said about the company’s own products, such as the Enhanced Chart Trader, which are sophisticated and produce real value. Exceptional work should be recognized and thanks for making trading easier and more efficient.

I am going to split this review into 2 sections - customer service and the quality of indicators they produce.

Customer Service - I have known Joel for about 6 years. He is always reachable and responds quickly every single time I tried to contact him. I got his indicators and have made adhoc requests and he never denied any one of them. He has always gone out of the way in accommodating me. That talks volumes about his customer service and attitude. Just a pleasure to deal with.

The indicators quality - his indicators are top notch. They are super awesome. I got his enhanced chart trader and I cant live without it. Its become a part of my trade plan and I use it to manage every single trade. So far I have gotten 3 machine licenses since I cant trade without it.

I will even go the extra mile to say NT7 / NT8 is not usable without Joel's Enchanced chart indicator. You dont know what you have been missing till you use it. After I upgraded to NT8, Joel has given me 3 versions of his indicator so far and is still working on adding more bells and whistles to it. Really impressed with his work.

Overall, I feel fortunate that I met Joel. In the trading world where most of the folks are snake oil salesmen, and most indicators are just BS, Joel from affordableindicators clearly stands out. With his work ethic, commitment and accommodating nature, he is one of a kind and more importantly the indicators he produces have real value behind them. Something that the platforms should have offered out of the box. His indicators allow trades to become profitable.

I almost turned away when I saw the price for Chart Trader (while sporting a wry grin over the company name in an industry replete with hucksters). But I didn't complain because, as a Capitalist, I believe a person should be able to charge what the market will bear for their own products; I can buy it or not.

Joel let me try several of his chart trader products before purchasing. I quickly became a "Raving Fan." His Chart Trader is everything that the vanilla NT8 version could have been, and darn well should have been, having been released FIVE years ago in November 2016 (and existing in NT7 for years before). So I bought it and two of its add-ons immediately (Bracket and Signals), paying the full price for all.

I also offered feedback from a trading perspective and on documentation, both which were graciously incorporated into the products quickly by Joel and David. On a few occasions, Joel connected with me personally to demonstrate some of the nuances and capabilities of his vastly improved Chart Trader.

One example of its power: Let's say I'm scalping microtrends between support and resistance levels. As soon as the trade is active, I simply click on the stop tag, then click on the stop (trend break) line on the chart and from that moment on my stop is dynamically maintained, i.e. tied to the stop line (which can be modified statically or during the trade with an up/down offset from the indicator’s level). Should I want to change what the stop is tied to (oh, the horror!), I simply click on it then click on another stop, which is then immediately tracked. It takes dozens of clicks (for scaled-in lots) to do this in native NT8.

Another example? If a trade isn't working out and you want to exit at break-even, NT8's BE will move your stops to your entry. That's idiotic to a scalper since most of the time we're trading larger timeframe's "noise" and it can be simple to get out flat. AI's BE determines where price action is and, depending on whether the market is above or below your entry, will choose correctly to move all your stops OR ALL YOUR TARGETS to your entry price.

There are so many improvements—whether it’s the fewer number of clicks to do the same thing as NT8’s Chart Trader, or simply doing something that NT8 can’t even dream of doing as it exists today.

The bottom line is this: Will it make you a profitable trader if you're not already? Of course, not. But if you're like me--already profitable and wanting to take things to the next level but have found the basic tools themselves are now getting in the way of my ideas--then I enthusiastically recommend AI’s Chart Trader and its add-ons (as applicable, some I didn’t need). AI Chart Trader’s sophistication, simplicity, multi-layered capabilities, and rock-solid reliability are unmatched. If you're a scalper, you'll wonder how you traded all these years without it. But you won't wonder about the price/value ever again.
