                "text": "At every price tick that trades during the RTH session, NinjaTrader's volumetric feed tells you how many contracts hit the ask (aggressor bought) versus how many hit the bid (aggressor sold). The indicator subtracts bid volume from ask volume at each price, accumulates the running net across the session, and stores a single number per level \u2014 the session's delta at that price. The horizontal profile is just those numbers drawn as bars, anchored to the chart's edge.",

                "text": "Absorption is when price pushes into a level and the opposite-side flow absorbs the pressure \u2014 buyers keep buying everything sellers throw at them (or vice versa). On the profile, it shows as a large green bar at a level that price spent time below, or a large red bar at a level price pushed into from below. The pattern: directional candles meet a disproportionate delta in the opposite direction. That's where institutional positioning is defending a level.",

Without the OrderFlow+ add-on enabled on your NinjaTrader license, the bid/ask data the indicator depends on simply isn't available \u2014 the profile will draw empty no matter which data feed you use. If you don't have OrderFlow+ yet, please don't buy this indicator: it has nothing to display. You can check whether you have it under Help \u2192 About in NinjaTrader, or by trying to add a \"Volumetric\" bar type to a chart. If your chart uses Renko, Point & Figure, Line Break, or Kagi bars, the indicator automatically falls back to a 1-minute volumetric series for the delta source \u2014 but that series still needs OrderFlow+ to populate.",
