    Common Questions

    Everything you need to know about getting started.

    Edge Trader Tools is a NinjaTrader 8 add-on built specifically for position sizing and risk management. You set a dollar or percentage risk per trade and the tool calculates the exact number of contracts from your stop distance, then attaches the stop and take profit as a bracket order on execution. The position-size and risk-reward math updates live as you drag the levels on the chart.
    Yes. When your entry fills, the stop loss and up to three take profits attach automatically as a bracket (OCO) order, so there is no window where your position is unprotected. Auto BE can move the stop to breakeven for you once the trade reaches a set profit, and an optional trailing stop follows price from there.
    It is a NinjaTrader 8 Strategy that functions as a trade execution and risk management tool. It does not trade for you automatically. Because it is a strategy, NinjaTrader requires you to enable it on the chart each session and stay connected to a data feed.

    NinjaTrader will not run a chart strategy unless you are connected to a data feed and the strategy is enabled. That is a NinjaTrader requirement, not a setting we can remove.

    1. Connect to your data feed first (live, sim, or Market Replay) and wait for candles.
    2. On the chart, press Ctrl+S or open the Strategies tab, then check Enabled on Edge Advanced Trade Planner.

    Closing NinjaTrader disables the strategy. If the panel is missing, reconnect to data and enable it again.

    Your license key and the .zip download are in your account under Downloads right after purchase.

    1. Updating from 1.5.1 or earlier? Remove it once first: Tools > Remove NinjaScript Assembly, select the EdgeAdvancedTradePlanner entry ending in a version number, Remove, and restart NinjaTrader.
    2. In NinjaTrader, go to Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-On and select the .zip (don't unzip it).
    3. Connect to a data feed and open a chart.
    4. Press Ctrl+S, add Edge Advanced Trade Planner from the EdgeTraderTools folder, paste your license key, check Enabled, and click OK.

    Step-by-step screenshots are in the installation guide.

    When you add the Advanced Trade Planner to a chart (Ctrl+S), paste your key into the License Key field in the strategy properties and click OK. In 2.0 it is under 0. Version. Your license is verified automatically.
    Please ensure there are no trailing spaces when copying your key. Also make sure NinjaTrader has an active internet connection, as the license is verified online. If issues persist, contact support at contact@edgetradertools.com and we will resolve it within 24 hours.
    The Single License is valid for one machine. The Dual License allows installation on two separate machines simultaneously. Both are permanent - your license never expires.
    Yes. Every license includes free lifetime updates. When we release new versions with added features, fixes, or improvements, you'll always have access to the latest build at no additional cost — no subscriptions, no renewals, ever.
    Every purchase is covered by a 7-day money-back guarantee. If the tool isn't the right fit for your trading style, email contact@edgetradertools.com within 7 days of purchase and we'll refund you in full — no questions, no hoops. We only want traders who get real value from the tool.

    The NinjaTrader Position Sizing & Order Management Add-On

    A NinjaTrader 8 add-on for traders who want their risk management and order management handled automatically instead of in their head.

    Edge Trader Tools works as a position size calculator for NinjaTrader that runs directly on the chart: set a dollar or percentage risk per trade, and the tool sizes every position from your stop distance — with a max-contract safeguard you cannot accidentally exceed. The differentiator is the live math. As you drag your entry, stop, and target lines, the dollar risk, contract quantity, and risk-reward ratio update in real time. No spreadsheet, no mental arithmetic in the heat of execution.

    Auto bracket orders, attached the moment you fill

    When your entry order fills, the stop loss and take profit attach automatically as a bracket (OCO) order. There is no window where your position sits unprotected and no chance of fat-fingering the wrong quantity. That makes Edge Trader Tools as much a NinjaTrader order management add-on as a position sizing tool — the two jobs that cost discretionary futures traders the most money are both automated at the platform level.

    Trade management: multiple targets, auto breakeven, trailing stop

    Split a position across up to three take profits. Move the stop to breakeven plus a few ticks with one click, or automatically at a profit in ticks, at a risk-reward multiple, or when the first target fills. The built-in NinjaTrader trailing stop starts from its own trigger and can tighten after the second target. Close one contract or half the position without touching the order ticket.

    Position sizing for prop firm accounts

    NinjaTrader shows a prop account's full balance, not the drawdown you are actually allowed to lose. Custom Percent (Cust%) sizes every trade as a percent of a balance you enter yourself, such as your drawdown limit, so a 1% risk means 1% of the money you can really lose.

    A risk management add-on built for NinjaTrader 8 futures traders

    Edge Trader Tools runs exclusively on NinjaTrader 8 — including the free simulation version — so you can practice sized, bracketed trades before risking real capital. It is a one-time $149 lifetime license (a dual license for two machines is $199), with free lifetime updates and a 7-day money-back guarantee — no subscription. New to futures risk math?
