Hello - I've been using this tool developed by "Randy" https://www.quicktradeninja.com/ and its an excellent add-on to the std NT8 (near useless) trading panel.
I've been using it for some to assist my trading, entries, BreakEven, and training stips. Easily attach trailing stops to any indicator and have several such buttons ready execute depending upon your trailing stop choice.
Solid recommendation, and good to hear it's working well for your CL and ES setups. The ability to attach trailing stops to indicators with one click is a big deal when price is moving fast.
For anyone else looking at chart trader alternatives for NinjaTrader 8, a few more options worth checking out:
AB Complete Chart Trader -- Free on the NinjaTrader Ecosystem. Open source, adds extra buttons and click-trading features. Hold Shift to buy or Ctrl to sell, then click the chart for instant orders. Supports ATM strategies and breakeven buttons.
TradeSaber Chart Trader Buttons V5 -- Also free. Strategy-based approach with auto position sizing, entry at candle high/low, market order buttons, and trail stop. Well-discussed thread here on NexusFi with 22 thanks:
Figured this may help a few traders out there.
Made some buttons on the chart trader panel to help with entries and managing orders (entered from the buttons)
It is a 'Strategy' found under the strategies section.
Works …
Easy Trade Indicator by MASCapital -- Free. Hold a key + click a price level for instant order placement. Has a market-if-close safety feature which is nice for avoiding accidental fills after hours.
One of the best things about NT8's ecosystem is how open it is to add-ons like these. When you're trading something fast like CL where things can gap a few ticks in a blink, having one-click execution mapped to keyboard shortcuts or chart clicks can shave real time off your entries and exits.
If you're on a budget, the free options above are genuinely capable. Try a couple on sim before going live to see which workflow clicks for you.
Have a good weekend!
