How it works
Professional Risk Management with Real-Time P&L Visualization
The Profit Forecast Indicator transforms NinjaTrader's basic ATM strategies into a professional risk management system by displaying critical information that's normally hidden.
Instant P&L Calculations
As soon as you enter a trade with an ATM strategy, the indicator displays the exact dollar amount, points, and ticks for each stop loss and profit target. When you drag orders on the chart to adjust levels, the P&L updates instantly, showing you exactly how your changes affect potential outcomes. No more mental math or guessing - see your exact risk and reward at a glance.
Dynamic Break-Even Tracking
The break-even line shows exactly where price needs to be for you to exit at zero profit/loss, accounting for any profits already locked in. As you hit profit targets and scale out of your position, this line automatically adjusts, often moving beyond your stop loss to show when your trade becomes completely risk-free. Essential for managing trailing positions.
Risk/Reward Ratio Monitoring
Monitor your risk/reward ratio in real-time as it changes throughout the trade. The display shows your current R:R with color coding - green for favorable ratios, gold for acceptable, and red for poor setups. When you've locked in enough profit to eliminate risk, it displays 'Risk-Free' with your secured profit amount.
Multi-Target Aggregation
For complex ATM strategies with multiple profit targets at different levels, the indicator aggregates all information into clear, actionable data. See individual P&L for each target level, plus total potential profit across all targets. As targets are hit, the display updates to show remaining potential and adjusted risk levels.
Key Benefits
Trade with Complete Clarity on Risk and Reward
Stop flying blind with ATM strategies. The Profit Forecast Indicator provides the critical information NinjaTrader doesn't show, helping you make better risk management decisions.
Protect Your Funded Account
For prop traders, managing trailing drawdown is critical. With real-time risk display, you always know your exact exposure and can adjust positions before hitting daily loss limits. See when trades become risk-free after scaling out, allowing you to hold runners without jeopardizing your account. Never accidentally exceed your risk parameters again.
Make Informed Adjustments
When you drag stop losses or profit targets on the chart, immediately see how it affects your P&L and risk/reward ratio. No more guessing whether moving your stop to breakeven actually makes sense, or if adjusting targets improves your trade expectancy. Every adjustment is made with full knowledge of its impact.
Scale Out with Confidence
Complex scaling strategies become simple when you can see exactly how each partial exit affects your remaining risk. Watch your break-even point move in your favor as profits are locked in, and know precisely when your trade becomes risk-free. Perfect for traders who use multiple targets to maximize profits.
Use Cases
3 Ways Profit Forecast Improves Your Trading
From pre-trade analysis to in-trade management, the Profit Forecast Indicator enhances every aspect of ATM strategy trading.
Pre-Entry Risk Assessment
Before pulling the trigger, set up your ATM strategy and see exactly what you're risking and the potential reward.

Active Trade Management
Once in a trade, use the real-time displays to make optimal management decisions.

Monitor how trailing your stop affects your remaining profit potential and adjust targets based on market conditions.
- Know exactly when you're risk-free
- See impact of stop adjustments instantly
- Optimize exits based on real numbers, not emotions
Multi-Target Scaling
For traders using multiple profit targets, see the complete picture of your scaling strategy.

Risk Disclosure
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative offuture results.
Testimonials appearing on this website may not be representative of other clients or customers and is not a guarantee of future performance or success.
Hypothetical Performance Disclosure
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
