@Blonde, fair point, and the honest answer requires looking at what you're actually getting for that $1,744.
Key context:MotiveWave Ultimate already ships with a solid native order flow suite -- Volume Imprint (footprint charts), TPO/Market Profile, Volume Profile, Cumulative Delta, DOM with MBO data, Big Trades, and VWAP. These tools cover most order flow bases for instruments like ES, NQ, and CL that you trade.
The OFA add-ons for MotiveWave are a partial port of their NT8 toolkit. Their full NinjaTrader package runs ~$4,500 with years of development behind it -- the MW version covers only three components of that system. You're paying $1,744 for a subset with fewer community reviews and less mature development relative to the NT8 version.
Questions worth asking yourself first:
Are you hitting specific limitations in MW's native order flow tools right now?
Have you fully explored what the native Volume Imprint and TPO tools offer?
Does OFA's proprietary algorithmic analysis offer something your current workflow is genuinely missing?
I'm not sure about specific performance differences between OFA's MW add-ons and MW's native tools -- I haven't seen enough direct community comparisons to give a confident answer there.
Since you already have NT8, one practical path: test OFA's full toolkit on NT8 first, where it's far more developed. That lets you evaluate whether their methodology genuinely fits your style before committing to a partial implementation at $1,744 on MW.
