DualBands Tutorial: Trade Directly From Your Chart

What is DualBands?

DualBands is a free indicator included in the FlowMatrix Suite that turns your NinjaTrader 8 chart into a trading interface. Instead of switching between your chart and a separate order entry window, you can place Buy and Sell orders, manage your position, and see real-time bid/ask depth — all directly on the chart.

Video walkthrough

Watch the full tutorial above to see DualBands in action.

Key features

  • Buy & Sell bands — Visual bands on the chart showing where your orders will be placed. Click to submit instantly.
  • Bid/Ask depth visualization — See the order book depth rendered as colored bands directly on price levels.
  • Quick quantity presets — Switch between predefined lot sizes with one click (1, 2, 5, 10 or custom).
  • Real-time PnL — Your profit and loss updates live on the chart as price moves.
  • One-click position management — Flatten or reverse your position with a single button.

Getting started

DualBands is part of the FlowMatrix Suite and is 100% free. To add it to your chart:

  • Right-click your chart and select Indicators
  • Search for "DualBands" in the indicator list
  • Add it and configure your preferred quantity and display settings
DualBands was born from a simple idea: why should I leave my chart to place a trade?— Julien Cinquabre, Co Founder
