What it is
POC4Trade is a simplified order-flow tool. Classic footprint / order-flow charts overload you with numbers that are hard to read in real time. POC4Trade distills each candle down to its most meaningful intrabar points and plots them as compact markers — less noise, faster reads.
For whom
Intraday futures traders who want order-flow context (absorption, exhaustion, imbalance) without a full footprint grid. Works on any instrument with tick data.
Key features
- Four display modes (see below) — show exactly what you need.
- Compact markers inside the candle — key points only, no footprint clutter.
- Auto-declutter (zoom scaling) — markers disappear automatically when the chart is compressed and reappear as you zoom in, preventing visual noise.
- Layers cleanly on top of your existing setup (levels, zones, VWAP).
How it works — four modes
- POC — marks the Point of Control (the price with the maximum traded volume) inside each candle.
- Max Bid/Ask — marks the price with the largest traded Bid/Ask volume in the candle.
- Max Delta — marks the price with the largest Delta (buy vs sell imbalance) in the candle.
- All three — POC, Max Bid/Ask and Max Delta together for a fuller intrabar picture.
Requirements
- NinjaTrader 8, an instrument with tick data.
- Tick Replay must be enabled on the chart (the indicator reads intrabar Bid/Ask/volume from tick data).

FAQ
Why does it need Tick Replay? POC, Bid/Ask and Delta are computed from intrabar tick data, which NinjaTrader only provides when Tick Replay is enabled on the chart.
How is it different from a footprint? A footprint prints every price/volume cell in the candle. POC4Trade shows only the key points (POC, max Bid/Ask, max Delta), which is far easier to read at a glance.
Which instruments does it work on? Any instrument with tick data (futures and more).
