1) Stable NinjaTrader version 8.1.8.3 or above.

abraahamI have passed one more funding account with Apex Trading today and made $3,000, which is the threshold for passing the account. I traded NQ, and the Bestorderflow indicators are excellent for passing props.

The MBO Market By Order indicator displays liquidity in real-time. Now I can see if a Support or Resistance Level can hold or become weak.

I have tested and used indicators from many other vendors. The BestOrderFlow indicators are the best set of indicators for the NinjaTrader platform. It is lightweight and presents information in a visually appealing manner. That makes a lot of difference in my trading. I love to trade with MBO Market by Order indicator. Feel free to connect with me, and I can provide you with hundreds of screenshots of my results, if you'd like.

Game Changer for my Results
Fortunate. Verified user.

As an active trader, I can't say enough good things about the BestOrderFlow Delta Level 2 indicator.  This set of indicators gave me an edge in my trading.  It's like having a crystal ball for market movements! The way it tracks the speed of buyers and sellers is incredible. I love how it shows who is dominating the market in real-time, which helps me make informed decisions quickly.

Whether it's spotting a reversal or riding the momentum, this indicator has been a game-changer for my scalping strategy. The visual cues are straightforward to understand, and the ability to adjust settings based on different trading sessions is a significant advantage.  If you're serious about trading and want that extra edge, this indicator is a must-have. Big shoutout to BOF Admin support and the team for making charts so easy to use and keeping NinjaTrader with BOF indicators super fast and responsive!  Your work has truly made a difference in my trading experience. Thanks a ton!
DM me on Discord for any questions. and see my results.

Feel the  Difference 

I am a trader with over 6 years of experience trading volume indicators on NinjaTrader.  Other third-party vendors that sell indicators for NinjaTrader are known for their poor quality and the difficulty of using their indicators, which can cause charts to become slow and sluggish.   

I no longer use any other third-party indicators, except  BestOrderFlow (BOF). BOF indicators are made professionally, and you can instantly feel the difference.

 Charts with BOF indicators run much faster and never freeze.

BOF has several simplifications over its competitor's footprint, which I appreciate. It is not only lightweight, but it just works flawlessly. 

BOF tutorials and educational videos are very informative and helpful. 

Regarding charts with BOF indicators, I appreciate how the information is organized and visually presented on the indicators.

Unparalleled Quality and Speed 

I have been testing BOF indicators for two months and getting shocking results. I am thrilled and excited as never before to trade. I am honest and have no financial incentives to influence my expression.

This Footprint is incredible. This Footprint indicator uniquely combines several other indicators, offering unparalleled quality and speed.

It's a testament to the programmer's expertise behind it, and I hold it in high regard. Yes, I am deadly serious in my feedback on using these indicators.

My primary motivation for writing about BOF indicators is my sincere desire to help traders grow their accounts faster.  I have tested and used many indicators from other well-known brands and found that BOF indicators perform more efficiently, providing a significant advantage in trading.

My favorite indicators

I fell in love with BOF indicators from the very first day of use, and I highly recommend them to any trader. 

I traded the S&P 500 and Nasdaq for 4 years and used BestOrderFlow indicators for 12 months.

Through the use of BOF indicators, I achieved a significant improvement in my trading results. 

The visual presentation of the complex data provided by bestorderflow indicators helped me to make my entries and exits much faster and safer than ever before. 

Charts with BOF indicators run much faster and are very informative.  In my day trading, I use BOF Footprint, Market Speed, Delta Profile, Pulling and Staking on Dom, Heatmap on the past Dom. 

I use BOF video tutorials and PDF manuals to set up each indicator the way I need for my trading setups. 

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

The main difference

Our main product is not indicators. Our main product is the speed and performance of indicators. For Example: 

  • Our new Smart Trade indicator includes "Big Trades" with substantial improvements:  
    1. We improved Big Trades detection using MBO Data and Order IDs. We detect Single Big Trades more accurately than any other Big Trade indicator.
    2. We also detect High-Frequency Trades with incredible precision using order IDs. 
    3. Now you get true Big Trades zones from the start to the end of the trade.  Big Trades Zones provide a significantly better display of support and resistance areas.
    4. To avoid confusion with the simple, primitive Big Trades Indicator developed many years ago, and to reflect significant improvements made by bestorderflow.com,  our Big Trade Indicator is released under the name Smart Trade Indicator.  There are no other Big trades indicators in the NinjaTrader ecosystem capable of using Order IDs data for such excellent precision and accuracy in detection.

      The NEW HEATMAP is our professional-grade heatmap that keeps working during critical times during a high-volatility NY open and never freezes. The NEW HEATMAP Version 2 (Expected release after May 1) is 80-100 times faster than the previous version. Welcome to test it with professional testing apps and software.
