TGChartTraderLite

Chart trader essentials · For NinjaTrader 8

Three things NinjaTrader's Chart Trader makes you work for, added right where you already look: one-click position sizing, a live read on which side the resting size sits, and a Breakeven button that respects your take profit. No licence key, no expiry.

What it does

• Size in one click

  A row of quantity buttons sits directly under Order qty. Tap 3 and you are trading three contracts — no typing, no clicking the spinner four times.

  It writes into NinjaTrader's own quantity box, so the native buttons and your ATM strategy follow along. The sizes run 1 to 5, and the active one stays highlighted so you always know what you are about to send.

• Bid/ask balance meter

  A slim bar under the A and B labels showing how the resting size splits between the two sides. Green is the bid, red is the ask.

  Smoothed on purpose: raw bid and ask sizes change many times a second and are unreadable. This shows the trend instead of the flicker. Double click to mute it, one click brings it back.

• Breakeven, with a cushion

  One button moves your stop to the entry price. The spinner beside it sets how many ticks beyond entry you want it, so you can lock in a small gain instead of an exact scratch.

  The mouse wheel moves it a tick at a time, Ctrl and the wheel moves ten. If a take profit is already working it is re-linked to the new stop as an OCO pair: fill one and the other cancels itself.
