In simple English
This tool helps you trade futures based on order flow inside the NinjaTrader platform. It watches market data and triggers your entry strategies automatically or with your approval. You need a paid NinjaTrader licence to get the volume data it requires. Setting it up takes some technical work with C# files and folder copying. The software is free to use under an MIT licence.
