Imprint Flow is a footprint & order-flow indicator for NinjaTrader 8 futures traders. Read bid/ask volume at every level, spot single & stacked imbalances the moment they print, and watch absorption and delta develop bar by bar, so the tape stops being a guess.

✓ Built for NinjaTrader 8 · runs on the free NT8 license (no separate Order Flow+ add-on) · non-repainting · needs NinjaTrader 8.1.7.2+ · all sales final
Free, Lease or Lifetime. Imprint Flow runs on all of them — including the free licence that comes with any brokerage or funded account.
You do not need NinjaTrader’s paid Order Flow+ suite. Imprint Flow builds the footprint itself.
The footprint is built from time & sales (Level 1) plus Tick Replay. No market-depth subscription required.
Volume, tick, range, Renko or time bars. Works with Kinetick, Rithmic, CQG, Continuum and IQFeed.
Screen recording: Imprint Flow live on an NQ chart
Placeholder for a 30–60s screen capture: imbalances printing, absorption at the high, delta flipping in real time.
Demo shows the indicator’s behavior on historical/replay data. For education and analysis only.
Did buyers push into real selling that absorbed them? Did sellers just run out of inventory? Did one block trade flip the bar’s color with nobody behind it? A standard candle collapses all of that into a single body and wick. The aggression is invisible.
Order flow makes the aggressor visible. Imprint Flow breaks each bar into per-price bid vs. ask volume, marks where imbalances printed and stacked, and shows where one side absorbed the other at a high or low. You stop guessing why a bar happened and start reading what the participants actually did.
We email a password-protected NinjaTrader 8 add-on and the import password. Drag it in, enter the password, compile.
Add Imprint Flow to any NQ, ES, or futures chart. Footprint, imbalances, absorption and delta render on live and Market Replay data in real time.
Watch bid/ask volume, imbalances and delta develop bar by bar. Nothing repaints once a bar closes. What you see is what traded.
Imprint Flow flags single imbalances at the standard 2:1 (0.682) diagonal ratio, right in the footprint. The benefit: you see the exact price where one side was clearly heavier. No counting cells by hand.
When 3+ consecutive levels tilt the same way, Imprint Flow marks the stack. The benefit: instead of eyeballing whether pressure is building, you get a clean visual of where aggression concentrated across a run of prices.
When heavy volume hits a high or low and the bar refuses to break, Imprint Flow highlights the absorption event in the footprint. The benefit: the spots where a level is defended stop being invisible. You can see them as they happen.
A colour-coded statistics grid sits beneath each bar (net delta, delta percentage and total volume), with cumulative delta tracked across the session. The benefit: concrete numbers you can read at a glance, not an abstract oscillator to interpret.
Works with any NinjaTrader 8 Level-2 data feed
No feature is locked behind a higher tier. Both plans ship the identical build.
Imprint Flow shows you the flow. It will never tell you what to trade. But if you want to see how these structures are built — and where each one is invalidated — we wrote it all down, free.
Placing the trade →Imprint is new. We could fill this section with glowing quotes from “NQ day trader” and you would have no way to check a single one of them. Plenty of people in this industry do exactly that. We would rather just tell you where we actually stand.
No P&L screenshots. No win rates. No “I made 51% in three weeks” quotes. Those are the easiest things in the world to fake, and the entire reason this industry has a credibility problem. If a tool needs a profit claim to sell itself, be suspicious of the tool.
The software, on your charts, for free, for 14 days. Every feature, nothing held back, no card required. You don’t have to believe a stranger’s quote — you can just watch the footprint print on your own instrument and decide for yourself.
All sales are final — no refunds and no trial periods. It is built by a working trader who runs it on his own funded accounts, and when it breaks — software does — a human who trades it answers you.
