Impact Order Flow Indicator

The Impact Order Flow Indicator is a highly customizable NinjaTrader imbalance indicator built to help experienced futures traders analyze order flow with more clarity, speed, and flexibility. Designed for NinjaTrader Desktop, it gives you a powerful way to view bid/ask activity, volume, delta, imbalances, block trades, unfinished auctions, and key daily reference levels in one streamlined setup.

Impact Order Flow Indicator Benefits & Features

The Impact Order Flow Indicator gives traders a unique and customizable way to view the market through order flow data. Designed for NinjaTrader, it delivers an efficient, flexible order flow workspace for traders who want more from their charts.

Please only purchase this software if you are familiar with order flow.  We do not teach order flow!

Flexible bar display settings

Our indicator includes several chart and bar settings that can be adjusted to create your preferred order flow layout:

• Print Mode displays bars using Bid / Ask, Volume, or Delta
• Color Mode colors bars by Delta or Candlestick
• Opacity Mode adjusts bar opacity based on Volume
• Body Mode controls the location of the chart bar over the bid/ask data
• Above Bar lets you show Delta Percent, Delta Total, or None

These settings make it easier to build a chart view that matches how you already read the market, rather than forcing you into a fixed display.

Order flow levels and signals

The Impact Order Flow Indicator add on includes a wide range of order flow tools that can be tuned using your own threshold values:

• Zone Imbalance Levels create zones from diagonal bid/ask imbalances using a user-adjustable multiplier
• Zone Momentum Levels compare the current bar to the previous bar’s formation
• Swing Levels create trend-based support and resistance levels from user-defined parameters
• Magnet Levels identify price levels where bid and ask volume are equal or nearly equal
• Washout Signals detect diagonal imbalance conditions using an adjustable multiplier
• Unfinished Auctions locate price levels that include both buys and sells
• Block Trades reveal where larger quantities traded and how many contracts were involved

This gives traders several ways to track imbalance, momentum, participation, and reaction areas without relying on a single type of order flow signal.

Daily levels plotted by default

The indicator also plots several daily reference levels by default:

• Daily High
• Daily Low
• VWAP
• Point of Control (POC)
• Value Area High (68%, 95%)
• Value Area Low (68%, 95%)

Having these levels built in keeps important session context on the chart alongside the order flow data you are already using
