NinjaTrader 8 Indicator

Key Levels PRO

Nine professional level engines. One indicator.

Previous period OHLC, opening range, initial balance, Globex sessions, VWAP with deviation bands, tick-accurate volume profile, and a proprietary confluence zone engine that clusters overlapping levels into high-probability reaction areas. All configurable. All in a single install.

No credit card required for trial. Works on up to 2 machines.

THE PROBLEM

You're probably running five indicatorsto do what this one does.

Previous day high/low from one indicator. VWAP from another. Opening range from a third. Globex levels from a fourth. Maybe a volume profile tool on top. Each with its own settings panel, its own color scheme, its own performance overhead, its own quirks around holidays and weekends.

And even after all that setup, you're still eyeballing where levels cluster. You're mentally stacking previous day's high against the VWAP upper band against the opening range extreme and deciding in real time whether that's a meaningful zone or noise.

Key Levels Pro replaces that entire stack. Nine level engines feed into a confluence zone builder that does the clustering for you, scores each zone by strength, and renders it directly on your chart.

One indicator. One config panel. Levels you can trust.

Architecture

Nine engines. One unified system.

We don't do "all-in-one" indicators that lag. Key Levels Pro is a collection of nine purpose-built engines running on a shared confluence data layer.

Engine 1 // Core Levels

Previous Day, Week & Month OHLC

The foundation of any level-based trading approach. Yesterday's high, low, open, close. Previous week and month extremes. Calculated using NinjaTrader's higher-timeframe data series so you don't need to load months of 1-minute bars to get accurate weekly levels.

  • 01Weekend and holiday safe - automatically resolves to the last valid trading day
  • 02Uses HTF secondary series for week/month accuracyregardless of primary chart resolution
  • 03Fallback chain: HTF series, BarsRequest, then primary-series accumulation
  • 04Individual toggle for each level (PDH, PDL, PDO, PDC, PWH, PWL, PMH, PML)
Engine 2 // Opening Range

Opening Range & Initial Balance

The opening range captures the first N minutes of the session - a well-established institutional reference window. The initial balance is the classic market profile concept: the first 60 minutes of trade, defining the range that sets the day's tone.

  • 01Configurable OR duration in minutes
  • 02Wick vs. close mode: use extremes or the candle close
  • 03Automatic midpoint calculation for both OR and IB
  • 04IB fixed at 60 minutes following market profile convention
Engine 3 // Overnight Sessions

Globex / Asia / London Levels

Overnight session highs and lows are among the most-watched reference points in futures trading. Key Levels Pro tracks Asia and London session windows separately with exchange-timezone-aware presets.

  • 01Pre-configured Asia and London session windows
  • 02User override capability for custom session start/end times
  • 03Automatic timezone handling - no manual DST adjustments needed
  • 04High and Low tracked independently per session window

Engine 4 // VWAP Engine

VWAP + Standard Deviation Bands

Session-anchored Volume Weighted Average Price with 1, 2, and 3 standard deviation bands. The single most common institutional reference line in intraday futures trading, now integrated alongside every other level on your chart.

  • 01Session-based VWAP anchored to the trading day open
  • 02Three standard deviation bands (SD1, SD2, SD3) above and below
  • 03Feeds into the confluence engine for multi-level intersection detection
  • 04Optional exclusion from confluence zones via dedicated toggle
Engine 5 // Market Profile

Tick-Replay Accurate Volume Profile

Point of Control, Value Area High, and Value Area Low derived from actual tick-level volume data - not approximated from OHLC bars like most tools. When tick replay is enabled, every trade prints at its real price.

  • 01Uses NinjaTrader tick replay for true volume-at-price accuracy
  • 02Current session and previous session POC/VAH/VAL
  • 03OHLC intrabar traversal fallback when tick data is unavailable
  • 04Performance-guarded with recompute throttling
Engine 6 // Visual Intelligence

Dynamic Confluence Engine

The heart of Key Levels Pro. It monitors all active engines and automatically highlights areas where multiple levels align. It builds weighted zones that show you exactly where the most institutional friction exists.

  • 01Configurable proximity threshold (Ticks/Points)
  • 02Dynamic zone building with strength scoring
  • 03Detailed tooltips showing contributors to each zone
  • 04Gradient-based intensity rendering for visual clarity

Engine 7 // Alert Engine

Institutional Alert System

Never miss a level touch or zone entry again. The alert engine provides granular control over touch, cross, and proximity triggers for every level and confluence zone in the system.

  • 01Touch, Cross, Proximity, and Zone-Entry alerts
  • 02On-chart markers + NinjaTrader standard alert integration
  • 03Per-engine toggle and custom sound assignments
  • 04Intelligent cooldown system to prevent alert fatigue
Engine 8 // Session Lifecycle

RTH, ETH & Custom Sessions

Switch between Regular Trading Hours, Extended Trading Hours, and fully custom session definitions. All level engines recalculate cleanly on mode change with no stale artifacts left on the chart.

  • 01RTH, ETH, and Custom modes with seamless switching
  • 02Timezone source derived from NinjaTrader chart templates
  • 03Custom mode accepts precise session start/end times
  • 04Clean teardown and recalculation on every transition

The Differentiator

Confluence Zones

This is the feature that doesn't exist in any other NinjaTrader indicator. When levels from different engines land near the same price, Key Levels Pro automatically clusters them into a zone, scores it by strength, and renders a gradient visualization directly on your chart.

How the scoring works

Level Alignment

How close the contributing levels cluster in price space

Provider Diversity

Zones with levels from different engines (OHLC + VWAP + OR) score higher than same-source clusters

Timeframe Relevance

Weekly levels carry more weight than intraday ones when scoring zone significance

Recency

Current-session levels contribute more to strength than stale prior-period references

SIMPLE MODE

Set one distance. Done.

Define a single merge distance in ticks. Any levels within that range of each other get grouped into a zone. Two or more members required. No scoring, no overlap math. Just adjacency-chain clustering that works out of the box.

ADVANCED MODE

Full control over zone behavior.

Configurable clustering distance, strength scoring weights, minimum zone score thresholds, max visible zones, overlap ratio controls, merge rules, and anti-clutter settings. Everything you need to fine-tune zone sensitivity for your specific market and timeframe.

On the chart: Zones render as gradient-filled boxes anchored from the current session start with configurable forward projection. Each zone shows its strength score and the member levels that form it. When a level is absorbed into a zone, its individual line is hidden to reduce clutter. Individual levels that don't cluster with anything remain as standard reference lines.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Key Levels Pro is built exclusively for NinjaTrader 8 on Windows. NinjaTrader 7 is not supported.

Tick replay is recommended for maximum volume profile accuracy, but not required. When tick data isn't available, the indicator falls back to an OHLC intrabar traversal method that still produces reliable POC/VAH/VAL values.

Your license key activates on up to 2 machines simultaneously. If you need to move an activation to a new machine, you can deactivate an existing one from your account.

No. Your lifetime license includes all future updates. When alerts and the on-chart volume profile histogram ship, they'll be available to you at no additional cost.

Yes. All level engines work across any chart type NinjaTrader supports. The confluence engine includes price normalization logic that handles the different tick increments across chart types.

The indicator includes an offline grace period. If the license server is temporarily unreachable, your indicator continues working normally using its cached license state. It won't lock you out during a server outage.

Every individual level has its own toggle. You can enable PDH and PDL but hide PDO and PDC. You can show VWAP and SD1 but hide SD2 and SD3. Colors, styles, and visibility are all per-level configurable through the NinjaTrader properties panel.

The indicator includes a trading day resolver that correctly handles weekends, market holidays, and shortened sessions. Previous day levels on a Monday correctly reference Friday. Previous week levels account for holiday-shortened weeks. No manual adjustment needed.

Stop stacking indicators.

Key Levels Pro gives you every level that matters, clusters them into actionable zones, and runs as a single indicator with a single performance footprint.
