Coming from another platform using market profile (TPO) for context. Trying to make NT8 work alone using their Orderflow suite to work for me and then I ran into setting up their TPO. What is up with their TPO? Their time periods are pre-defined? RTH opening bell starts at 0930 and NT8 defines that period as 'B' you have no option but to start with B period? Also where is 'C' period? You go right into 'D' period? Just baffling when you've read and learned about the TPO to be a place where data is cataloged in a orderly fashion. Tough when you are speaking with other profilers and now I've got to pause and interpret these period not to confuse others. Let me guess... the work around is buying another indicator? Lol

TraderGee,

I never used NT8 TPO because I got a better one from Financial Algorithms before NT8 offered a TPO.
Obviously, not free but it is the best one I've seen.
If their product doesn't offer what you're looking for, you might need a custom solution.
Hope this helps some, good luck.

you are right, sometimes the best option is the payment indicators.

MZ Pack has TPO traditional Market Profile indicator Ninjatrader 8 for about $150 for a lifetime license. I have not purchased it as yet I have not been able to figure out why on earth Ninjatrader does not offer a simple normal TPO MP indicator. Did someone sue them? They normally have great indicators, but despite the fact I have their lifetime platform I see they only have volume profile which so far I have found unusable. I am hoping to find another trader willing to share their MP indicator.
