NinjaTrader's ATM display only shows tick distance. This indicator reads your stop and targets, converts them to dollars, points, R-multiples, and a live risk/reward ratio — then draws a dynamic break-even line that advances as you scale out. The daily drawdown limit you're trading against isn't measured in ticks.
Every bar, the indicator reads your active ATM strategy — the stop, every profit target, the entry — then multiplies tick distance by the instrument's tick value and the number of contracts to get dollars. Divide by your configured 1R to get R-multiples. Sum what's already been banked from partials, and the break-even line advances to reflect the profit you've locked in. Nothing you couldn't do in a spreadsheet; the point is not having to.
One MNQ short, three moments — the multi-target setup at fill, the first partial flipping the trade risk-free, and the runner sitting on $100 in locked-in profit.
One stop, three targets, every line priced.
A short loads at 25347.50 with a 6-point stop at 25353.50 and three scaled targets stepping down to 25310.25. The stop label reads $36.00 | 6.00 pts; T1 is $34.00 | 17.00 pts, T2 is $55.00 | 27.50 pts, T3 is $74.50 | 37.25 pts. The corner panel sums it: R:R 4.5 ($36 : $164). Risk and reward, on the same screen as the candle, before the fill prints.
The pivot moment, on the chart.
The first target fills — one contract banks $34 — and the dashed BE line snaps from 25347.50 up to 25356.00. That's the price where the two remaining contracts can exit flat for the whole trade. Bottom-right flips from green R:R to Risk-Free (+$10.00). Past this candle, the worst case is breakeven plus ten bucks. The line tells you exactly where that floor sits, and it updates bar by bar as price ticks.
The line stops being a floor. It becomes a shelf.
Two more partials done. The BE line now sits at 25392.00 — well above current price — and the corner reads Risk-Free (+$100.50). The remaining contract is in +31.75 points of unrealized profit on top of the $100 already banked. The dashed line isn't asking where you can get out flat anymore; it's telling you the worst-case payday for the trade. Press the runner, let it ride, or trail — every option is positive.
No curated five-star walls. Three quotes, three different reasons this one stays on the chart.
Every tick matters when you've got a daily loss limit. Seeing exact dollar risk before I hit buy is the difference between a good Tuesday and getting my account paused. Not a single trade goes on without this now.
The R-value display rewired how I think about trades. Seeing "+2.5R" instead of "+$625" makes it way easier to stay consistent across size changes. My risk discipline got obviously better.
The dynamic break-even line is the feature. I scale in three legs, and watching that blue line advance after each partial tells me exactly when my last contract is a free trade. Pure clarity.

σ bands are natural profit targets — Profit Forecast tells you what a tag of +1σ or +2σ is actually worth on your contract size, before you place the order.
IB extensions at 1×, 1.5×, and 2× are classic profit targets — Profit Forecast prices each one so you can pick the scale-out schedule that matches your R.
VWAP and the ±σ bands are where institutional fills tend to rest — Profit Forecast shows what a move to the next band is worth before you commit size.
$49 buys the indicator. $299 buys all twelve — plus every one I ship next year. Either way, one payment, no subscription, and it runs wherever you log into NinjaTrader.
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones' financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
Testimonials appearing on this website may not be representative of other clients or customers and is not a guarantee of future performance or success.
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
