Install FlowPilot and BookPilot

Requirements

• • NinjaTrader 8 on Windows 10 or 11.
• • FlowPilot: tick data with bid/ask. No Level 2 needed. Turn on Tick Replay for history and Strategy Analyzer backtests.
• • BookPilot: a Level 2 market depth feed, live or Market Replay. The _VantedgeBookPilot ladder and signals and the DOM Pressure Matrix need it too.
• • An internet connection, for the licence check.

Install in Five Steps

1. Download and unzip: get your plan's package from the download link above, your purchase email or Download latest in your account, close NinjaTrader 8 and unzip the package to a folder.
2. Remove older Vantedge files: with NinjaTrader still closed, open PowerShell in that folder and run powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Install.ps1 -Clean. It removes the source files of earlier Vantedge releases and copies the chart template; it is harmless on a first install. The INSTALL.txt file in the package has the details.
3. Import the add-on:open NinjaTrader 8, choose Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-On and select VantedgeAlpha-NinjaTrader.zip from the package folder. Both plans ship the same suite file, so with both plans you import it once.
4. Add the indicator or strategy and paste your licence key:right-click a chart of ES or NQ > Indicators > _VantedgeFlowPilot or _VantedgeBookPilot, or Strategies > Vantedge FlowPilot or Vantedge BookPilot, and paste the key into License Key (copy it from your account if the email is not at hand). For a strategy, choose the Sim101 account and enable it. Each key works on 2 devices; to move to a new computer, deactivate the old one in your account.
5. Start in SIM:watch the NinjaScript Output window for licence messages and run several sessions on Sim101 (and Market Replay for BookPilot) before any evaluation, funded or live account. Add the footprint chart from the chart's Indicators list: _VantedgeFlowPilot, or _VantedgeBookPilot for the footprint plus the Level 2 ladder and signals (one indicator draws the whole chart; turn on Tick Replay for history). Then add the DOM Pressure Matrix as a column on the SuperDOM (it is a SuperDOM column, not a chart indicator).

User Guides & Settings Sheets

Each package includes a PDF user guide with the first run step by step, the panel buttons, and a reference sheet for every setting: the default, the range to use, and what happens when you raise or lower it. Read them online: Vantedge FlowPilot guide and Vantedge BookPilot guide. Stuck? Contact support.

Updating to a New Version

When a new version is out, your account marks each computer that runs an older one with "Update available" and shows the release notes, and NinjaTrader shows a small update note on the chart and in the NinjaScript Output window. Download the latest package from your account, close NinjaTrader, run Install.ps1 -Clean again and import the new VantedgeAlpha-NinjaTrader.zip. Your licence key stays in the settings, so there is nothing to re-enter.
