NinjaTrader 8
The chart indicator plus a GEX column on your SuperDOM, on one key.
What it shows
The chart indicator draws the ladder, the level marks across the chart with the call wall and the put wall labelled, and the panel. The optional qO GEX column puts the same data on the SuperDOM, NinjaTrader's price ladder: one value per price row, so you read the exposure at a price right next to the depth you are trading against.
What it is built from
The same data, the same settings and the same key as every other platform. On ES and MES: licensed CBOE one-minute data with market-maker positioning, from SPX. On the other families: computed from data consolidated across every US options exchange: open interest and volume.

Reading
How to read it
- On the SuperDOM, a large positive value beside a price row is a node at that price: where price slows or stops.
- A negative value beside a row is a level price can move through.
- The rows inside the current straddle band are tinted, so you see where the band sits on the ladder.
- The column and the chart indicator read the same book, so the DOM and the chart always agree.
