Price Times Plus | NT8

Included in All Access: one membership gives you this tool plus the full HTech NinjaTrader 8 suite.

35 levels on tap. Only the ones you want on the chart.

Price Times Plus plots the price references traders keep coming back to. The high and low of the day in progress, the overnight Globex range, yesterday’s high, low and close, last week, this month and last, the current contract and the one before it, rolling highs and lows over the last few days, and up to three times of day that you choose yourself. Thirty-five levels, all drawn by one NinjaTrader 8 indicator.

A number like that raises the obvious worry: a chart buried under lines. That is not how it works. Every single level has its own switch, and all of those switches sit behind one icon on the chart toolbar. Show one. Show all thirty-five. Show none at all. The chart follows you as you click, with no properties window to open and nothing to reload.

All 35 levels, group by group

These are the twelve groups exactly as the toolbar menu lists them, so what you read here is what you will click on the chart. Nothing in the set is a variation on the same idea. Each group answers a different question about where price has already been, and each one arrives with its own color, line style, and label so it stays distinguishable from its neighbors on a busy chart.

The toolbar icon: any level on or off, without stopping the chart

The switches for all 35 levels live on the chart toolbar, not buried inside the indicator’s properties window. Click the Price Times icon and the menu drops open right over the chart. Turn on last week’s close. Turn off the rolling highs. Hide the whole start-time group, then bring two of its three lines back a moment later. The chart redraws as you go, and you never leave it.

The groups behave the way you would want them to. A parent item such as Show Rolling Days HL is a visibility gate, not a reset. Switch it off to clear those six lines from the chart, switch it back on, and the individual choices you made inside it are exactly as you left them. Reset ALL is the one item that deliberately changes everything at once, and it is there for when you want a clean slate.

• Show a single level, a whole group, all 35, or nothing at all.
• Change what is drawn without ever opening indicator properties.
• No chart reload, and no reapplying the indicator afterwards.
• Color, line style, width, and label stay configurable per level.

The summary box: what every range is worth, in ticks and dollars

The summary box is a small text panel you can drop into any corner of the chart. It reports eight ranges: the previous bar and the average bar, then the previous day, the average day, and the day in progress, then the previous week, the average week, and the week in progress.

Each row carries more than a tick count. Price Times Plus converts the range into currency for the instrument you are actually trading, and reports the net change beside it in both ticks and dollars, with a percentage added on the daily and weekly rows. So the average daily range does not read as a bare 189. It reads as 189 ticks and $1,890.00 on the same line, before you size anything.

The averages use lookbacks that you set, which is why the labels carry their counts. ABR(6) is the last six bars, ADR(5) the last five days, and AWR(4) the last four weeks.

Opening ranges, open levels, and net-change regions

Three opening ranges are drawn for you. OR1 arrives as a rectangle. OR2 and OR3 arrive as Fibonacci tools, so the range projects its own levels above and below itself instead of simply boxing the period in. Each of the three takes a NinjaTrader drawing template by name, which means an opening range appears already wearing the colors and styles you use everywhere else on your charts. Leave the template blank and the tool falls back to its own default.

Open and naked levels are the highs, lows, and closes that price walked away from and has not come back to trade through. Price Times Plus tracks them as open gaps, open highs, and open lows, carries them forward across the chart, and lets them go once price finally fills them.

Net-change regions shade a session against its own close. One band reaches up from the close to the session high, another reaches down to the session low, and a line marks the close itself. It is a fast read on how far a session actually travelled in each direction, rather than only where it happened to finish.

Start times: three moments of the day, down to the minute

Most levels indicators decide for you which moments of the day are worth marking. Price Times Plus hands that back. You pick three times, to the minute, and it marks the opening price at each of them on the current day and again on the previous day, giving you six of the thirty-five levels that nobody else’s defaults could have guessed.

The times that ship with it are an example, not an instruction. 8:00am for the crude open, 8:30am for the equities open, 10:30am for the Euro close. If the moments you actually trade around are a report release, the London fix, or your own cutoff for the morning session, those are the three you set instead.

Worth being precise about one thing: these are start times, not sessions. Price Times Plus reads whatever session template your chart is already using and marks your chosen times inside it.

Why traders use Price Times Plus in NinjaTrader 8

The reason is not the level count on its own, it is the control. Price Times Plus puts every reference level you keep going back to on a NinjaTrader 8 chart, and lets you show only the handful you want at any given moment.
