So for the basic charting, running your data and trading through IB is gonna cost $36 a month? For the advanced package it looks like it adds order flow footprint studies? If I do not upgrade the package can I still install and use orderflow footprint tools?

In order to use the Numbers Bars (footprints) you need to be on one of the "Advanced" packages. It sounds like you would need to be on the "Integrated Advanced" package (Package 11), which costs $46.00 per monhth.

on number 3 and take it for what it is worth- I find it literally insane that all these top day trading software have yet to implement a basic position sizing. You know who has it? Interactive Brokers, not Ninjtrader or you guys? I Mean this is such a necessary tool for day traders and so dahm simple it is frustrating to not have.

We have a million things to do, and getting an accurate balance from trading services is more difficult than it seems. Refer to the information here:
Trading Information Windows: Trade Account Monitor (Account Balances) Window

Anyway, I appreciate the help. I became an okay NT programmer for what I need. Not sure if I will be able to get the few basic indicators I require to trade into this program. Is there any kind of a script builder tool? A place I can post some code and hopefully someone can make it work for me? It is basically a simple higher low after (or lower high for shorts) thta plots a line above the candle.

Our custom studies interface uses C++ and the information starts at the following link:

You may be interested in the "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" where the Alert Condition can give you some power without having to learn C++. Refer to the following:
Color Bar Based on Alert Condition

And there is also our Spreadsheet Studies:
Overview of Spreadsheet Studies

You can always post in this Support Board forum and ask for help from the community. There are a few programmers that monitor that may help you out, or offer to create what you want (for a price).

Also, is there a way to attach a "hard stop"?

An attached stop that is always set to $100 loss regardless of entry price?
