Visual Development

Build Indicators & Strategies Without Code

CANVAS

Block-Based Canvas

Place and connect blocks visually. Indicator blocks, Math blocks, Signal processors, Condition evaluators, Gate logic, State Machines, OrderFlow blocks, and ONNX neural network blocks. Wire outputs to inputs to build any logic.

LIVE

Real-Time Chart Feedback

Every connection you make updates your live NinjaTrader® chart instantly, with no compile cycle or reload, so you can watch your indicator respond to price data as you build it.

PORTABLE

Template Key Portability

Your entire design encodes into a single portable Template Key text string. Copy it from Builder, paste it into Fusion Indicator or Fusion Strategy, or share it with other Fusion users.

EXPORT

Deep Data Export

Export every block’s output data to CSV or connect to external analysis tools, including intermediate values most builders never expose.


Power Feature

Multi-Series &
Multi-Timeframe Support

A core Fusion Builder capability, this lets you add a secondary data series to your canvas, a different timeframe of the same instrument or an entirely different instrument, and incorporate it directly into your formula.

Add a 5-minute NQ series to a 1-minute ES primary chart
Incorporate VIX, TICK, ADD, DECL as secondary inputs
Apply any built-in indicator to any series in the same formula
Combine them all in one visual pipeline
Primary Series
ES MAR26 · 1 Minute
Secondary Series #1
NQ MAR26 · 5 Minute
Secondary Series #2
$VIX · 1 Day

Unique Capability

One-Click Price Chart Toggle

Fusion Echo renders your indicator output on both the price chart and a separate indicator panel at the same time, in the same chart window. The price chart view is price-scale synchronized, so you see directly how your indicator values relate to actual price levels.

Run multiple Builder + Echo pairs on the same chart. Each pair shares one color, so you always know which line came from which canvas.

Visual Simulator

See Your Strategy Before You Build It

Fusion Signal is a visual strategy simulator that approximates how your strategy will behave while you’re still in the development phase, with no automation required. You’ll see buy and sell signals, stop losses, trailing stops, profit targets, flatten conditions, and ghost signals painted directly on your chart as you build.

Racing stripes appear on your price chart showing signal events, while the full histogram and signal details render in a separate panel, just like Fusion Echo. Your Builder panel stays free for indicator math. Both layers update live as you adjust your logic.

⚠️ Simulator Disclaimer

Fusion Signal is a visual approximation only. Live automated strategies can always behave differently. Always backtest and run in simulation mode before deploying any automated strategy.

FUSION SIGNAL: DUAL PANEL ARCHITECTURE

▲ PRICE CHART: RACING STRIPES
Buy signals · Sell signals · Entry markers
Overlaid on price · Stays with price bar
▼ SEPARATE PANEL: HISTOGRAM & SIGNALS
Stop losses · Trailing stops · Profit targets
Flatten · Ghost signals · Long/short entries
🔧 BUILDER PANEL: FREE FOR MATH
Indicator wiring stays unaffected
Signal visualization is fully independent

Live Wire Heads-Up Display (HUD): See Your Strategy Think

Strategy wires on the canvas are a live heads-up display (HUD): green = long, red = short, white = neutral. Watch every strategy block’s output change in real time, and see instantly why a gate resolved the way it did. One AND input short while the other is neutral? The wires show it before you touch a debugger.

Risk Management

Risk Management at Two Levels

Per-strategy rules where you build. Account-wide monitoring where you trade.

1 · Per-Strategy Risk

These rules live inside your strategy design and travel with it, encoded in the same Template Key and evaluated by Fusion Strategy and the Optimizer.

Strategy & Risk tab: global limits configured per strategy:

  • Session P&L limits: Max Daily Loss, Daily Profit Ceiling, Max Per-Trade Loss (dollars or % of entry value), and Drawdown from Peak (dollars or %).
  • Trade-count guardrails: max trades per day, max consecutive losses or wins, max losing or winning trades per day.
  • Daily Watermark: a two-step profit-lock: arms when session profit reaches a level, then flattens on a set giveback from the post-arm peak.
  • Trading Time Gate: per-day trading windows with optional auto-flatten at the window edge and at session close.

A live Preflight panel checks your design first: unwired signals, missing stop coverage, provider/OCO caveats, before the strategy ever touches the chart.

Trading Time Gate: draw exactly when each day is allowed to trade, with optional flatten at the window edge or session close.

Entry-owned stops & targets: every Entry block carries its own protection:

  • Take Profit and Stop Loss, each in ticks, ATR, percent, dollars, points, or price.
  • Stop modes: fixed stop or trailing stop.
  • Sources: built-in managed levels, or feed your own price through Port C (target) / Port D (stop).
  • Port C/D can act as a managed price level or as a boolean trigger-exit you define in the pipeline.
Fusion Builder Entry block Stop Loss and Take Profit panel with fixed or trailing stop, ATR or points units, and Port C and D overrides
Every Entry block carries its own Stop Loss & Take Profit, fixed or trailing, in the unit you choose, with Port C/D managed-level or trigger overrides.

Flatten block: a strategy-wide emergency flatten fired by any canvas condition you define through pipeline math: the emergency cord.

2 · Account-Wide: Fusion Risk Engine (included but optional)

The Fusion Risk Engine monitors risk across your whole account, independent of any single chart or strategy, and it watches several accounts at once. Per account:

  • Max Daily Loss and Daily Profit Ceiling.
  • Drawdown from Peak (dollars or percent).
  • A two-phase Daily Watermark: arm at a profit level, then flatten on drawback from the armed peak.

Fusion Strategy handles per-strategy risk; the Risk Engine watches the account.

The Fusion Risk Engine monitors multiple accounts at once, per-account limits and a two-phase watermark, with per-account status at a glance.

Risk tools are configuration aids, not guarantees. Automation and prop-firm policies vary. Verify your own firm’s rules.
