Does anyone know how to reference MZPack indicators from another indicator? For instance, I want to plot their cumulative delta on the swing highs and lows of the Price Action Swing Oscillator. I did this already with the VolumeDelta indicator I found here. But they don't have an indicator that I can reference from inside another indicator. Everything is coming from one DLL and it exposes classes. I can instantiate new instances of those but I have no idea how to use them as indicators in onBarupdate, etc. to get the values I need. If anyone has done something like this with mzPack or another similar indicator just point me to the code and I can figure it out from there. Thanks!

Hello All, This is my first post on Futures.io so if I do anything wrong please let me know. I was very interested in this particular thread because I am new to NT8 and am using the free version. However, as you all know, the free version does not include Market & Volume Profile or Footprint charts. The idea of getting these pre-configured for Ninja and not have to pay ther rediculous price of $1,100US is great. Still $300.00 for the MZ indicators is no drop in the bucket either for a small time trader. With that said. Does anyone know of a coupon or discount code for the MZ indicators? Or of another place to find similar indiicators of the same quality at a lower cost? Thank you in advance.

Not sure if you are still interested, but they are having their Black Friday Sale at this moment.

Thank you for thinking of me.
Been using their product for a little of a year now.
Very powerful and use less computer resources than the NT tools.

May I ask you- what product helps and what is simple to understand? I did purchase the single divergence indicator, but having problems understanding it.. I use it on Forex, but it is sucking the life from my platform.

I know, I know, get a new computer. if I keep trading Forex I will never get enough money to solve that problem.

Does anyone have any experience with the mzpack api to develop strategies?

@faithdefender,

Two separate issues here, both solvable.

Understanding the Divergence Indicator

The mzDeltaDivergence is tracking disagreement between price and order flow delta. When price prints a higher high but cumulative delta doesn't confirm -- that's your bearish divergence signal. Flip it for bullish. If you're already reading RSI divergences and running harmonics, the concept is identical -- just substituting volume delta for a momentum oscillator. The edge is that delta divergence shows you actual participation rather than a derivative of price.

That said -- and this matters for your setup -- Forex tick data through most retail feeds is synthetic. There's no centralized exchange, so the delta calculations are approximations at best. On your futures instruments (ES, CL, GC, 6B), the divergence indicator will be far more reliable because you're working with actual exchange-reported volume. If you want to validate your understanding, test it on ES or CL first where the data is clean, then decide if the Forex signals are worth the noise.

Performance Fix

Forex pairs generate massive tick volume, which is likely what's choking your platform. A few things that help:

• Reduce chart history -- load 2-3 days max instead of weeks
• Switch to range or renko bars instead of time-based charts; fewer bars = fewer calculations
• In the indicator settings, reduce the cluster display resolution if available
• Close any other indicators you're not actively using on that chart

Before upgrading hardware, try running it on a futures chart with less data loaded. If it runs smooth there, you'll know the bottleneck is data volume, not your machine.

MZpack does offer a free trial of the full suite if you want to compare the divergence tool against their other indicators before committing further.
