I bought the KISS indicator when it first came out. It's a very clean and simple tool to read the volume profile of each bar. It helps to identify p and b shaped profiles for potential S/R areas. I personally don't use the buy and sell arrows. The vendor replied very quickly when I needed help setting it up.
I bought it to use with equities but dont use it as it uses Tick Replay. Having more than a couple of charts with different symbols slows down my computer.
Good question -- since you're on NT8 trading futures, KISS Order Flow is directly relevant to your setup.
Here's what I know from the thread and community usage:
Core features:
Trapped Traders Detection - Flags spots where traders get caught at highs/lows, basically spotting liquidity grabs. Pairs well with price action and delta.
Surge Alerts - Picks up momentum shifts from big buying/selling surges.
Absorption Indicator - Shows where large players are absorbing orders, can tip you off to reversals before price moves.
Community feedback:
Generally positive from NexusFi members. RocketScientist in the KISS thread called it "a very clean and simple tool to read the volume profile of each bar" and found it useful for spotting p-shaped and b-shaped profiles at S/R areas.
Recommended chart setups: 40 Range + 15 Min for swing/reversal trades, or 40 Range + 1 Min for scalping -- both work well for ES, NQ, CL.
Worth knowing:
Requires tick replay, which can bog things down if you're running multiple charts. Test it on your rig first.
Works with Level 1 data, so no need for expensive DOM feeds.
One-time $199-299 with free lifetime updates at kissorderflow.com -- no subscription. Vendor has been active and responsive in the thread.
If you're already running other indicators alongside price action, this layers on top rather than replaces anything. The absorption and trapped trader signals add order flow context you won't get from basic charting.
