Trade Setup Tool for NinjaTrader 8

Draws your entry, stop-loss, and profit-target directly on the chart and calculates position size in real time — fixed contracts or risk-based off a dollar risk-per-trade you set, updated live as you drag the anchors.

Trade Setup Tool drawn on a NinjaTrader 8 chart showing entry, stop-loss, and profit-target zones with live range, quantity, dollar risk, and R:R readout
What it does

Draw the setup, see the numbers

Entry, stop-loss, and profit-target anchors on the chart — range, quantity, dollar risk, estimated commission, and R:R calculated and displayed live as you drag.

Fixed or risk-based sizing

Set a fixed contract count, or size off a dollar risk-per-trade — the tool works the math from your stop distance automatically.

One-click bracket order submission

Right-click the drawing and submit the entry — stop-loss and profit-target orders go out with it, no separate order entry.

Auto-managed stop and target

Fills, cancels, and OCO behavior are handled automatically as the position opens and closes — nothing to babysit.

Fully styled

Line colors, zone fill opacity, text font, alignment, and visibility are all configurable per drawing.

Works with any connected account

Sim or live, no extra configuration required to switch between them.

Why plan the trade on the chart

Most position-size math happens off the chart — a separate calculator, a spreadsheet, or a guess. By the time you've done the math, the setup has moved.

Trade Setup Tool keeps the whole plan on the chart: drag the entry, stop, and target anchors, and the size, dollar risk, and R:R update live next to the drawing. When the setup is right, right-click and submit — the bracket order goes out with stop and target already attached and auto-managed.

Typical use: visually planning a trade before it's live, confirming size and R:R against your own risk rules, then executing without leaving the chart.

FAQ

Does it place real orders, or just draw on the chart?

Both. It's a drawing tool by default — nothing is sent to your account until you right-click and choose "Submit Entry Order." Until then it's just a visual plan.

What happens to the stop and target after entry fills?

They're submitted alongside the entry as a bracket and managed automatically — when one side fills or is cancelled, the other is cancelled with it.

Fixed Contracts or Risk Based — what's the difference?

Fixed Contracts always sends the same size. Risk Based divides your risk-per-trade ($) by the stop distance to size the position for you, recalculated live as you move the stop.

Does it work with Sim and live accounts?

Yes, it works with any connected account, Sim or live, with no additional configuration.

Is the trial limited?

The trial is the full version, limited to 1 day. No signup, no email required.
