Nexus Chart Trader
for NinjaTrader 8.

Nexus Chart Trader is a NinjaTrader 8 add-on for chart-based order entry, bracket management, position sizing, and account-risk controls. It runs alongside NinjaTrader's own Chart Trader; it does not modify NinjaTrader or turn an existing ATM template into a Nexus template.

Use the Visual RR tool to set an entry, stop, and target on the chart before sending the order. You can move those prices while planning; Nexus then submits the selected entry type and maintains the bracket using the chosen configuration. Multi-target mode creates separate target and stop pairs for the configured allocation.

Turn on Auto Position Sizing, set the dollar risk per trade, and place a valid entry and stop. Nexus divides the stated dollar risk by the stop distance times the instrument point value, rounds down to whole contracts, and applies the configured maximum-contract cap. Without a usable stop, it cannot calculate a risk-sized quantity.

No. Nexus Chart Trader manages its own bracket workflow, with separate stop, target, multi-target, break-even, and trailing settings. You can continue to use NinjaTrader's native ATM tools if you prefer, but Nexus settings are configured inside Nexus.

Each enabled account can have daily-loss, daily-profit, and trailing-drawdown limits. You can use account-specific settings or allow a funded or evaluation group profile to supply them. When a provider publishes remaining drawdown, Nexus uses that value; otherwise it can use the configured fallback.

When a configured limit is reached, Nexus blocks new entries for the affected account and runs its close and cancel workflow. A daily-profit target has a separate close-confirmation path, so the lock is not treated as complete until that close is resolved. These controls do not guarantee an exact loss in a fast market, during a disconnection, or when broker execution differs from the requested order.

With the Risk Manager active, making a risk limit looser, including increasing or clearing a limit, is deferred by a 60-minute cooldown. Tightening a limit applies immediately. The delay is designed to stop an impulsive change from immediately weakening active protection.

Risk-lock state is saved and reloaded after a Nexus or NinjaTrader restart. Live monitoring, cancellations, and order handling still need NinjaTrader and the account connection to be operating. Confirm the connection and provider behavior before relying on any server-side lock.

Smart Rotation selects the next eligible account for a new entry and carries the relevant template settings to eligible rotation accounts. It does not send one order to every account at the same time. Use Nexus Copier when the goal is to duplicate a master order to follower accounts.

Optional hotkeys can be configured for buy, sell, close, account navigation, Visual RR actions, break-even, trailing, and quantity presets. Hotkeys are disabled until enabled, and each action uses one unmodified key. Streamer privacy can redact digits and mask P&L and balance values in Nexus's own display; it does not change broker data.

The selected break-even or trailing mode determines the trigger, such as ticks, percentage to target, or R, and the offset. Nexus can maintain the configured stop for the full position or a selected portion. Actual order changes are broker orders handled through NinjaTrader.

Nexus Chart Trader is available as a $599 lifetime license with no renewal or subscription. The license is tied to one NinjaTrader Machine ID, shown in Control Center under Help and About. Checkout requires that ID before payment. For a normal replacement computer, contact support with the purchase email and new Machine ID to request a rebind.
