Chart indicator for NinjaTrader 8
DynamiFlow
The order book recorded and replayed up to five days back, the footprint of every candle, and a dashboard that says who is pushing, how toxic the flow is, and how far the next zone sits. DynamiFlow reads the flow itself, depth and trades, with no other indicator.

DynamiFlow on the price, DynamiFlow Panels in its own pane. The second finds the first by itself
What you get alone, and what adds up
DynamiFlow reads market depth and trades itself, and ships its own copy of the order book engine. It requires no other product. One thing comes from elsewhere: confluence zones.
With DynamiFlow alone
The whole flow, nothing else to install:
- Recorded order book heatmap, volume profile and live ladder in the right margin, liquidity walls
- Per-candle footprint: mirror bars, volume gaps, imbalances, bar POC, delta, ABS / DIV / UA, block bubbles
- Dashboard: CVD, delta, aggression over 5 and 15 minutes, last block, toxicity and its regime
- Daily, weekly and monthly VWAP with standard deviation bands, 5-day Camarilla pivots, stacked zones, delta rails, naked levels
- With Panels: SYNTHESE, PRESSION, TOXICITE, EFFORT / RESULTAT, CVD bands and the BLOCS / MITRAILLE / MURS / PULL grid
If you also have DynamiConfluence
Its zones enter DynamiFlow, with no setting to touch:
- Active, lingering and historical zone bands, drawn under the price
- The dashboard line « Zone [n] price · N t »: the next zone, its size, its distance
- The HOLDS or GIVES gate read in the order book as the zone is approached
- DynamiFlow's walls and stacked zones published to DynamiConfluence, the other way round
- Without DynamiConfluence this layer stays empty. Nothing breaks, nothing shows
The order book no longer vanishes when you close the chart
Every bar records its order book column into a local SQLite database, on your disk. When the chart opens, DynamiFlow replays up to five days of heatmap, blocks, bursts and pulls, then live capture takes over: live always wins over the database.
What comes back: the heatmap, the walls re-derived from recorded columns, the toxicity summarised per bar as minimum, average and maximum. What does not: wall pulls. A pull is an instant, a frozen column only shows the state after it. An empty PULL lane before start-up is normal.
The order book only fills in real time. The footprint, deltas and profile exist from the historical load with Tick Replay.
The dashboard, line by line
Seven lines, top left, refreshed on every timer tick: synthesis, pressure (as an aggression curve and as a histogram), toxicity, effort / result and its yield, event grid, CVD. Each comes from a measurement, none is advice.
- CVD session +10.3k ▼: the cumulative delta since the session open, and its slope over the last 10 bars
- Delta barre −24: market buys minus sells, on the forming candle
- Agression 5 min +1.1k (×0.6) · 15 min +11.3k · pic 15:38: net of blocks and bursts over rolling windows. The ×N compares with the past two hours; the line colours from ×1.5
- Bloc VENTE 106 il y a 73 s: the last market block and its age, while under thirty minutes
- Toxicité 9 · REBONDS: a 0 to 100 score. Below 40, REBOUNDS regime; above 50, CONTINUATION; in between, NEUTRAL
- Zone [3] 7715.00 · 31 t dessous: the next DynamiConfluence zone, its level count, its distance in ticks. Absent without DynamiConfluence
- v1.9.45 | Delta | ech. 188 | seuil 37 auto: the legend, top right. Version, order display mode, colour scale and heatmap threshold, both computed on their own
Every candle, opened
The footprint replaces candlesticks. Each level shows its sells on the left and its buys on the right as mirror bars, its volume as a graded background, and whatever stands out in colour.
- Volume gap: an empty cell when the level weighs under 15% of the bar's maximum
- Imbalance: a green or red border when one side is 3 times the other, with at least 20 lots, diagonally as the classic definition goes. The gutter on the right says by how much
- Bar POC in a white frame, big level in orange from 150 lots, net delta under the candle, and its path (+400 / −180) when the candle is wide enough
- ABS: at least 150 lots on the two extreme levels, one and a half times the opposite side, and a close pulled back by two ticks or more. UA: 20 lots on both sides at the extreme level. DIV: the candle closes against its delta
- Block bubbles: a market execution of 100 lots or more, placed at its average price. Cyan for buys, magenta for sells. The radius follows the size. White ring: everything went in a single execution; no ring: a sweep of several prints in under 300 ms
The bottom bands: context, never a signal
Since version 1.9.45, DynamiFlow no longer draws any band. DynamiFlow Panels draws them in its own resizable pane and finds DynamiFlow by itself. The built-in help says it in one sentence: none is a signal, it is context.
SYNTHESE
A −1 to +1 score: 50% net aggression, 25% order book, 25% CVD momentum over 8 bars. Weighted by the toxicity regime, ×1.25 in continuation, ×0.6 in rebounds, and penalised for ten bars after a fade of the side. Green, grey or red, intensity is conviction. A sound when it crosses ±0.5, on closed bars only.
PRESSION
One raw material: trades sorted by side. Green curve, market buy volume smoothed over 8 bars; red curve, sells; grey line, the bid's share of the book, dashes at 50%. Behind them, the histogram of the two curves' difference.
TOXICITE
The percentile of Kyle's lambda combined with VPIN, 0 to 100, global to the instrument. A variable of time, never a per-price score. White, the raw measure per bar; orange, its fast average over 7; blue, the slow one over 25; dotted, your 40 and 50 thresholds. On the chart, only a 10% background tint remains.
EFFORT / RESULTAT
Bar volume over its move in ticks, normalised by its own average. At twice normal, absorption: ACH 64% when buyers carried the aggression and got swallowed. At half, a void on the other side. Two absorptions of the same side within twelve bars and eight ticks make a MUR.
BLOCS / MITRAILLE / MURS / PULL
Four lanes. Blocks: 100 lots or more at market. Bursts: 150 lots in ten executions over two seconds. Walls: two levels at twice their side's average. Pull: a wall losing 30%, executed volume deducted first, otherwise an eaten wall would count as a pull. Height is intensity; colour is the side.
CVD
The session's cumulative delta as candles, reset at every session open. On the price only the divergence triangles remain, when price makes a 20-bar extreme and the CVD does not follow.
On the price, layer by layer
The heatmap shows resting orders
One column per candle, one cell per tick: these are orders resting in the book, not executions. It is the opposite of the footprint. The visibility threshold sets itself, at the 25th percentile of the last sixty seconds; the colour scale at the 95th percentile of the last 300 bars. A white frame marks a package above your big-order threshold.
Profile on the left, ladder on the right
The profile accumulates traded volume per price since the open, with the visible-range POC in a white frame, a 70% value area, HVN nodes above 50% of the POC and LVN below 25%. The ladder shows the instant state: a wall is two consecutive levels at twice their side's average, gold for buys, red for sells. A lone yellow bar is a strong level with no neighbour.
Three VWAPs, their bands, three days
Daily, weekly anchored on Monday, calendar monthly, each with two standard deviation bands and its own switch. Three days shown by default, adjustable up to the whole loaded history. The J +1σ, S +2σ, M +2σ labels stack without overlapping.
Hosted Camarilla, five days
Enabled in the All-in-one chapter, without adding the indicator to the chart. R4, R3, S3, S4 always drawn, R2 and S2 by default, R1 and S1 optional. The J-2 suffix says the level comes from two days back; the line thins with age. Drawn in the foreground: a decision level does not drown under the heatmap.
Stacked zones
Two imbalances stacked in one candle make a zone, extended to the right until price comes back to cover half of it. A filled zone stays drawn, at a third of the opacity.
Delta rails ×N
Three distinct candles defending the same price within two ticks, with at least 5% of their volume in delta, draw a rail. It is born with its ×N label, extends, and stops when price crosses it beyond the tolerance.
Naked levels
nPOC, nVAH and nVAL of past sessions never touched since. A touched level switches itself off, for good.
One button, one menu, one help
A DynamiFlow button in the chart toolbar: On the price, VWAP, Book, Toxicity, Decision help, Voice alerts, and the symbol glossary in three languages. No checkbox stops a calculation: ticking a family redraws its whole past, with no reload.
Sound and voice alerts
Big block, attack, wall, absorption: one sound each, with an anti-burst delay, and the Windows voice if you tick it. Nothing that says buy or sell.
What the indicator does not do
The built-in help says it before we do: this is context, not advice.
No buy or sell signal
Reversal arrows, REJ tags, badges and the scenario box were removed in 1.9.44: those layers contradicted each other on screen. What remains describes, it does not recommend.
The dashboard only exists in real time
Not in replay, not on historical data. The heatmap comes back from the local database; wall pulls do not.
The heatmap is not traded volume
A bright band is not « a lot traded here » but « many orders rest here and have not been hit ». Traded volume is the footprint and the profile.
A symbol vanishing on zoom-out is not a failure
Under 12 pixels of bar width, labels fade, bubbles become dots, the footprint gives way to a summary candle under 7 pixels. The detector ran; the drawing gave up.
No confluence zones without DynamiConfluence
DynamiFlow computes no zone. It displays those DynamiConfluence publishes to it, and without it the layer stays empty.
No execution, no position management
The indicator places no order and manages no position. No symbol is wired to a strategy.
Requirements
NinjaTrader 8 and a level 2 data subscription, meaning one with market depth. Without it the heatmap stays empty: that is not a fault in the indicator, it is the book not arriving. No heatmap, no walls, no toxicity. Volume bars recommended; the guide advises against Renko and Range.
Two indicators to add to the same chart, DynamiFlow then DynamiFlow Panels, on one key. Panels finds DynamiFlow by itself, even in another window of the same instrument.
The license is delivered by our server from the email and key entered in the properties. The calculation core comes with it; a three-day grace after the last successful contact with the server covers network outages.
One SQLite database per instrument on your disk, written by the timer, never on the tick stream. In memory, the footprint keeps 4,000 bars by default, about 3.5 KB each.

Questions we get asked
- Is the DOM Suite required for toxicity, spoofing and icebergs?
- No. DynamiFlow subscribes to market depth and trades itself, and the package delivered by the server ships its own copy of the order book engine. Toxicity, wandering spoof and icebergs work with DynamiFlow alone. Were the engine missing, the dashboard would show « Toxicity n/a » rather than a wrong number.
- Why a subscription, and what happens when it ends?
- The calculation core is not in the installed file: it is delivered by our server at start-up, once the license is verified. Without it the indicator stays an empty shell: zones, rails, VWAP, SYNTHESE and EFFORT do not exist. At expiry the cut-off comes within the following hours; a three-day offline grace protects a session, not the subscription. The lifetime license does not raise the question.
- If I close NinjaTrader, do I lose the heatmap?
- No. Every bar writes its order book column into a local SQLite database. On reopening, up to five days are replayed, and live takes over. Only wall pulls are not replayed: they are instants, not states.
- Why two indicators?
- Since version 1.9.45, DynamiFlow no longer draws the bottom bands: the chart keeps its full height for the price. DynamiFlow Panels draws them in a resizable pane, finds DynamiFlow by itself, and has no license field: one key covers both.
- And with DynamiConfluence?
- The two see each other with no setting. DynamiConfluence publishes its zones, DynamiFlow draws them under the price, quotes them in its dashboard and reads the HOLDS or GIVES gate as they are approached. The other way, DynamiFlow publishes its walls and stacked zones to it. The bundle brings both on a single key.
- On which instruments?
- Any instrument your provider sends market depth for. Default thresholds are tuned for the ES; all of them adjust. The guide works on Volume bars, 1,000 for execution and 4,000 for context.
