Included in All Access: one membership gives you this tool plus the full HTech NinjaTrader 8 suite.
See volume delta your way in NinjaTrader 8.
Cumulative Delta Plus plots the net difference between buying and selling volume in NinjaTrader 8, then lets you choose how that delta is drawn on the chart. Show each bar’s delta as a column above zero, split positive and negative around a zero line, or track the running cumulative delta as candlesticks. The candlestick view resets Daily, Weekly, or by Chart range to match the way you review a session.
Three ways to draw delta
Per-bar, above zeroEach bar’s delta drawn as a column above zero, colored by side, with a right-axis magnitude marker.
Zero-line histogramPositive delta above the zero line and negative below it, so buying and selling pressure read at a glance. Yellow marks delta divergence, where price closes against the bar’s delta.
Cumulative candlesticksThe running cumulative delta drawn as open, high, low, close candles across the chart, just like price.
Reset to match the question
The cumulative candlestick view starts its running count where you choose:
Daily reset
Start each session fresh when you want to judge intraday buying and selling pressure on its own.
Weekly reset
Carry the delta view across multiple sessions when broader order-flow context matters.
Chart reset
Use the chart’s loaded range as the context for reviewing pressure over the bars in view.
Visible-range delta sum
Turn on the optional visible-range delta sum when the question is narrower than a full session. It totals delta for the bars currently on screen, quick context for a setup, a rotation, or a single trend leg. A second right-side readout shows cumulative delta through the last visible bar.
Common ways traders use it
Session review
Check whether net buying or selling pressure built through the trading day.
Divergence checks
Watch for price pushing one way while cumulative delta refuses to confirm the move.
Local analysis
Use the visible-range sum when the current chart area matters more than the whole session.
Why traders use Cumulative Delta Plus in NinjaTrader 8
Without Cumulative Delta Plus
- Read raw volume with no running tally of net buying versus selling pressure.
- Switch indicators or windows to see delta a different way.
- Rebuild session, multi-session, or chart-range context by hand.
With Cumulative Delta Plus
- See net delta build in one indicator: per bar, around a zero line, or as cumulative candlesticks.
- Reset the cumulative candlestick view Daily, Weekly, or by Chart range.
- Add the visible-range sum for quick context on the bars on screen.
Key features
- Three display styles: per-bar above zero, zero-line histogram, and cumulative-delta candlesticks.
- Daily, Weekly, and Chart reset modes in one NinjaTrader 8 indicator.
- Optional visible-range delta sum for the bars currently in view.
- Delta divergence marking for bars that close against their delta.
- Optional delta thresholds with guide lines and highlight colors.
- Volume or Percent delta styles.
- Right-axis magnitude marker tracking the developing bar.
- Directional green and red coloring for positive and negative delta.
What does cumulative delta show?
Cumulative Delta Plus shows the running sum of buy volume minus sell volume in NinjaTrader 8, so traders can see net order-flow pressure build, fade, or shift over time.
How many ways can it display delta?
Three: per-bar columns above zero, a zero-line histogram with positive up and negative down, and cumulative delta drawn as candlesticks.
Can the delta reset daily or weekly?
Yes. The cumulative candlestick view in Cumulative Delta Plus resets Daily, Weekly, or by Chart range, so one NinjaTrader 8 indicator covers session, multi-session, and chart-range review.
Does it backfill historical delta?
That depends on NinjaTrader’s Tick Replay setting. Without Tick Replay, Cumulative Delta Plus starts accumulating from the point the chart loads. With Tick Replay enabled, it backfills delta for the configured Load Days Back window.
Requirements: Windows and NinjaTrader 8.1.2.1 or later.
