Why you need it

On a NinjaTrader chart, price lives in one place: the axis, in small type, at the far right. DS Chart Price puts it front and center instead, in a large readout you can place in any of nine spots on the panel, color-coded so you can read direction and conviction from across the room — and it carries a small price-alert engine with built-in tones so you can step away and still hear when a level you set gets hit.

Built in

Upticks flash green, downticks flash red — and the resting color eases to amber as the tape loses efficiency, so you feel chop before you name it.

01Nine placements on the price panel — top, middle or bottom; left, center or right
02Mono color and Reduced motion modes for a calmer readout, with an opacity control
03Three price levels, each sounding once per approach with a real volume control
04Four tones synthesized in memory — no sound files to install
05Realtime only — never fires on history, chart load or while you scroll back

What it needs, where it runs, and what it is not.

Where it runs

MarketsBuilt on NQ · MNQ

Any market NinjaTrader charts

Futures — runs on it
Stocks — runs on it
Forex — runs on it
Crypto — runs on it

It reads the chart's own last price, tick by tick, so the market makes no difference.

What it reads

The chart's last price, tick by tick. Nothing else.

NinjaTrader 8 · 8.1.8.1 or newer. Everything runs on your machine, on your own data feed.

Good to know

Tick-driven with no forced repaints, so it adds nothing to the chart you already run.

DS Universe tools are charting and research software for educational and informational purposes. They are not investment advice and no output is a forecast or a guarantee of any result. Trading futures and other leveraged instruments carries substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor.

Test it on your own charts first.

Four screenshots and a paragraph are not enough to judge an indicator on. Watch it work in your own instrument, on your own timeframe, before it goes anywhere near a live account. Both ways of doing that are free.

01
Replay a session you have already seen
Market Replay runs a past session back tick by tick, at whatever speed you like. You get to watch DS Chart Price print in conditions you remember, and pause on the bars where it mattered.
02
Then trade it forward, on the simulator
Replay shows you the past with the ending already known. The simulator does not — it runs live, in real time, on real prices, with nothing at stake. That is where you find out whether you can actually act on what you are seeing.

A simulated fill is not a live fill. Replay and the simulator cannot reproduce real queue position, slippage, or what it feels like to hold a position with money on it, and results from either may differ materially from live trading. Test to learn how a tool behaves — not to estimate what it might return.

DS Chart Price, moment by moment

The conditions DS Chart Price is built for, drawn by its shipped rules. Scroll and scale it like a chart, replay it bar by bar, jump between its moments, or switch the chart to light.

DS Replay examples are illustrative: each scenario is composed for the example from recorded one-minute futures candles, to show the conditions a tool is built for, and is not a recording of a trading session. The tool drawing on it runs its shipped rules unchanged. They show how the software reads price; they are not a performance record, no trade is taken or shown, and live markets often behave differently. Futures trading carries substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor, and hypothetical or simulated results have inherent limitations that may differ materially from live trading.
