Spot the Delta
Slide to compare raw price against Cumulative Delta PRO transparency. Powered by three distinct structural engines (Fractal, Adaptive ATR, and ZigZag) to identify absorption or exhaustion.
Flying Blind
Standard candle charts hide the balance of trade. You see a low, but you don't see that sellers are actually exhausted.
Total Transparency
CVD PRO reveals that despite new lows or highs in price, the delta is not confirming the move. This identifies a significant volume divergence.
The market is a battle of volume. Most traders only see the price.
Price often lies. Large players spend millions hiding their footprints using iceberg orders and passive absorption. By the time price starts moving, aggressive orders have already filled their positions at your expense.
Standard cumulative delta indicators are often inaccurate or use rigid structural logic. Identifying the footprint requires more than just a volume line. It requires structural awareness.
Cumulative Delta Pro solves this by running a high-performance Bid/Ask core coupled with three distinct structural detection engines (Fractal, Adaptive ATR, and ZigZag). We paint the true volume footprint directly on your chart.

CVD PRO isn't just a line on a chart. It's a suite of professional analysis engines working together to give you the most accurate volume footprint in NinjaTrader.
Bid/Ask Core Calculation
The heart of order flow accuracy. Unlike standard delta indicators that use simple UpDownTick heuristics, CVD PRO uses true Bid/Ask classification on every tick to ensure your delta matches the real-market reality.
- 01Tick-accurate Bid/Ask classification for every trade
- 02Filtered delta ignores inside-spread noise for cleaner calculations
- 03Mandatory Tick Replay guard ensures historical data integrity
- 04Ultra-low CPU overhead for high-velocity liquid markets
Divergence Detection Engine
Automated detection of both Regular and Hidden divergences. Regular signals potential reversals, while Hidden signals trend continuation. These are painted directly on your chart so you can stop eyeballing volume peaks.
- 01Four distinct detection modes: Regular Bullish/Bearish and Hidden Bullish/Bearish
- 02Advanced fractal swing pairing with configurable tolerance
- 03Adaptive mode uses ATR-based lookback for volatility-aware detection
- 04ZigZag pivot mode for strictly price-driven structural divergence
Three Engines. One Goal.
CVD PRO is the only indicator that gives you three distinct structural detection modes to match your specific trading style.
Fractal Engine
Classic price action swings using fixed left/right bar counts. Perfect for rigid structural strategies.
Adaptive ATR
Dynamically scales swing detection by ATR volatility. Stays tight in chop and widens during trends.
ZigZag Structure
Uses point or percentage-based price reversals to define swings. Maximum structural precision.

Fractal Engine: Classic price-action swing pairing using fixed left/right bar counts for structural divergence detection.

Adaptive ATR Mode: Swing lookback scales dynamically with market volatility — tight in chop, wide during trends.

ZigZag Pivot Mode: Point or percentage-based price reversals drive strictly structural divergence detection.

Detection Control: Full granularity over swing thresholds, tolerance pairing, and marker visualization.
Delta Momentum (ROC)
Track the speed of the flow. The momentum engine calculates the Rate of Change and Acceleration of delta, helping you spot when buying or selling pressure is fading before price actually turns.
- 01Smoothed ROC (Rate of Change) line for trend identification
- 02Delta Acceleration histogram for spotting early exhaustion
- 03Zero-cross detection for sentiment flip verification
- 04Dual-fill visual mode for intuitive momentum reading

Momentum Analysis: The ROC line crossing zero as delta acceleration fades. This signals trend exhaustion before price turns.
Institutional Size Filtering
Separate the retail noise from the significant footprints. Filter the CVD panel to only show trades from specific size buckets, allowing you to follow the 'large-lot' flow exclusively.
- 01Four pre-configured size buckets (Small, Medium, Large, High-Volume)
- 02Fully custom min/max trade size filters for granular control
- 03Multi-mode visualization: CVD Candles, Line, or Delta Histograms
- 04Instantly switch between total and filtered delta perspectives
Professional Display Modes. One Panel.
Switch between CVD Bars, Line, or Delta Histograms. Combine display and panel modes in a single configurable view.

Display Modes
CVD Bars, Line, and Delta Histogram. Choose what fits your workflow.

Cumulative Delta Divergence FAQ
No. CVD PRO calculates delta from raw tick data. It does not require the expensive NinjaTrader Order Flow+ subscription (which costs $59/month) to function. We build our own Bid/Ask classification engine.
While our core calculation matches NinjaTrader's logic for accuracy, we provide advanced features they don't: automated divergence detection (Regular and Hidden), a professional momentum panel (ROC & Acceleration), and sophisticated trade-size filtering.
Cumulative Delta requires historical tick data to build accurately. Without Tick Replay enabled, NinjaTrader only provides OHLC data for historical bars, which makes calculating delta impossible. CVD PRO enforces this to ensure your charts are always 100% accurate.
It's a specialized panel that tracks the velocity of the Cumulative Delta. By watching the Smoothed ROC and Acceleration histograms, you can see when institutional buying is 'fading' even while price is still rising — an early warning sign of a reversal.
It is designed for any liquid market with a centralized exchange and Bid/Ask data. It is most heavily used on Index Futures (ES, NQ, YM), Energy (CL), and Metals (GC). It also works on Equities and Forex if your data provider provides Bid/Ask volume.
Retail traders often trade in single lots, while institutions trade in large blocks. By filtering for large sizes (e.g., only trades > 50 contracts), you can see if the 'Smart Money' is accummulating or distributing, ignoring the noise of retail participants.
All WickLabs indicators are one-time purchases with lifetime updates. No monthly fees, no subscriptions, no recurring costs. You own it forever.
Absolutely! CVD PRO is designed to work perfectly alongside Key Levels PRO. Identifying a CVD divergence precisely at a major Key Level provides a powerful confluence signal for high-probability reversals.
Regular divergences typically signal a trend reversal (e.g., price makes a lower low, but delta makes a higher low). Hidden divergences typically signal trend continuation (e.g., price makes a higher low, but delta makes a lower low). CVD PRO automatically detects and highlights both types.
CVD PRO offers three engines: Fractal (fixed lookback, best for beginners), Adaptive ATR (volatility-adjusted for varying markets), and ZigZag (reversal threshold pivots, excellent for range bars). We recommend starting with Fractal for intuitive, fixed-structure swings.
Yes! CVD PRO performs exceptionally well on all chart types, including Time (1-min, 5-min), Range, Renko, and Tick charts. Our ZigZag swing detection mode is particularly powerful when paired with Range and Renko bars.
While most traders only see price action, CVD PRO looks 'inside' the candles to reveal the true buying and selling pressure. This deeper context allows you to see if a breakout is supported by real volume or if it's a trap, helping you avoid false breakouts and identify potential reversals with greater clarity.
Absorption occurs when aggressive market orders are 'absorbed' by a larger player using passive limit orders. For example, if you see aggressive buying on the CVD line, but the price fails to move higher, that buying is being absorbed. CVD PRO identifies this as a Bearish Divergence, a strong signal that the market may reverse.
Exhaustion happens when the momentum of buyers or sellers simply dries up at a key level. Using CVD PRO's Momentum Engine, you can easily spot exhaustion. When the 'Smoothed ROC' histogram bars change color (e.g., from green to yellow), it indicates that while price might still be rising, the buying momentum is decelerating and fading.
Raw volume only tells you *how many* contracts were traded, not *who* initiated them. CVD PRO categorizes every single tick as a buy or sell based on the bid/ask spread. This reveals the net directional intent of the market, which is far more actionable than just knowing the total volume traded.
