A Windows desktop for native footprint charts — delta, imbalance, absorption, CVD — wired into your existing NinjaTrader feed via a NinjaScript bridge. Built for futures traders on Apex / Rithmic, with a crypto path for users without a broker.

Why NinjaTrader and not Sierra or ATAS?

Because Apex Trader Funding ships NinjaTrader by default — that is where the live tick stream already runs. Sierra / ATAS users pay $50–$150/month for a closed stack. We tap the feed you already trade on, render the footprint natively, and add nothing between the exchange and your canvas.

Does the bridge work on Apex evaluations?

Yes. The NinjaScript indicator runs inside any NinjaTrader instance — eval, PA, live. It only reads the tick stream and forwards it to Senzoukria over loopback (127.0.0.1). No order routing, no broker credentials touched.

Latency vs cloud platforms?

Sub-5ms on the bridge — TCP loopback, no proxy hop, no cloud round-trip. Cloud orderflow tools route the tick through their servers (typically 80–200ms) before it reaches your browser. We render on the same machine that receives the tick.

How much does Senzoukria cost?

Senzoukria is $29/month flat — vs $50–$150/month for ATAS, Bookmap or Sierra Chart. There is a free preview so you can try the full product first, no card to start. If you don't subscribe, the account drops to read-only — no lock-in.

How does it compare to ATAS, Bookmap or Sierra Chart?

ATAS, Bookmap and Sierra Chart sit at $50–$150/month and lock you into their data layer. Senzoukria ships the orderflow primitives 95% of retail traders actually use — footprint, delta, imbalance, CVD, heatmap — over the NinjaTrader feed you already own. $29/month, native Windows, no broker re-onboarding.

How do I connect my data feed?

Three options. (1) NinjaTrader Bridge: install our NinjaScript file in NT, Senzoukria reads your live feed locally — no extra credentials, perfect for Apex accounts. (2) Rithmic direct: sign in with your R | Protocol login inside the app, no NT needed. (3) Crypto: Binance, Bybit and Deribit work out of the box, no account required for market data.

Do I need NinjaTrader installed?

Only if you want to use the NinjaTrader Bridge. The bridge is the easiest path for Apex Trader Funding users (you already have NT). If you don't use NT, plug in Rithmic credentials directly or stay on crypto — both work without NinjaTrader.

Which markets and symbols are supported?

All major CME / CBOT / NYMEX / COMEX futures: ES, MES, NQ, MNQ, RTY, YM, GC, MGC, SI, CL, MCL, NG, ZB, ZN, ZC, ZS, 6E, 6B, BTC, ETH and ~30 more. Plus crypto pairs on Binance, Bybit and Deribit (spot + perp + options). The full list of contract specs lives in the app — adding a contract is a one-line change for us.

What are the system requirements?

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. The .msi installer is ~8 MB and takes 30 seconds to install. macOS and Linux builds are not yet shipped — they're on the roadmap after the public launch settles.

How does the footprint chart work?

Each candle splits into price-level cells. Each cell shows aggressive buy volume vs aggressive sell volume with delta (buy − sell) highlighted. Imbalances (one side dominating 3:1 or more) are flagged. Cell size, palette and threshold are user-configurable. The bridge forwards NinjaTrader's exact daily volume counter — numbers match NT bar-for-bar.

Can I use it on multiple devices?

Yes, up to 2 machines (PC + laptop, same account). The license tracks active machines via hardware fingerprint and a 7-day heartbeat. Switching devices is automatic — no re-activation step.

Do I need coding knowledge?

No. Point-and-click throughout. The only setup step is dropping one NinjaScript file into NT if you use the bridge — a 5-step walkthrough lives at /download.

Is Senzoukria a good Sierra Chart alternative?

Yes, if you want a modern, focused footprint interface without Sierra Chart’s configuration overhead. Senzoukria covers footprint, delta, imbalance, absorption and CVD at a flat $29/month with a free preview. If you need Sierra Chart’s raw depth of custom studies and lowest-latency execution tooling, Sierra remains the more powerful, more configurable option.

Can I use Senzoukria with my Apex account instead of Sierra Chart?

Yes. Apex runs on Rithmic, and Senzoukria connects through a NinjaTrader bridge (one NinjaScript file reads your existing NT feed locally, sub-5ms) or via a direct Rithmic login inside the app.

How much does Sierra Chart cost vs Senzoukria?

Senzoukria is a single flat plan at $29/month. Sierra Chart uses tiered plans that are generally in the $50–$150/month range depending on package and exchange data fees — check Sierra Chart’s site for current numbers, since data fees vary by exchange.

Is Sierra Chart harder to learn than Senzoukria?

Generally yes. Sierra Chart is famous for depth of configuration and a dated, text-heavy interface that takes real time to master. Senzoukria is built around a shorter learning curve — most traders read their first footprint chart within minutes of installing the free preview.

Senzoukria vs Sierra Chart: A Modern Order Flow Alternative

Sierra Chart is known for raw power and low-latency depth tools, at the cost of a dated interface and a steep learning curve. Here is an honest comparison with Senzoukria, a modern footprint-first platform, so you can pick based on what matters to you.

Senzoukria · Learn · Updated July 2026

Sierra Chart has one of the longest track records in the industry — extremely powerful, low-latency, and configurable down to the smallest detail, at the cost of a dated interface and a real learning curve.

What Sierra Chart does well

Sierra Chart is built for traders who want maximum control: extremely low latency, direct exchange connectivity options, and a level of configurability — custom studies, spreadsheets, alerts — that few platforms match. Its volume profile and market depth tools are deep and battle-tested, and systematic / algo traders in particular value how much of the platform can be scripted and automated.

Where Senzoukria fits

Senzoukria is a native Windows app at a flat $29/month that prioritizes a fast, readable footprint over raw configurability. If you already trade Apex or Rithmic through NinjaTrader, the NinjaTrader bridge reads that same feed locally — sub-5ms, no proxy — so you skip re-onboarding a broker connection. Footprint, delta, imbalance, absorption and CVD are ready out of the box, alongside a liquidity heatmap and integrated GEX. Where Sierra Chart rewards weeks of configuration, Senzoukria is designed to have you reading your first footprint chart within minutes.

Which should you choose?

If you want maximum power, the lowest possible latency, and you're comfortable investing time in configuration — or you already script your own studies — Sierra Chart is the more capable platform. If you want a modern, focused footprint setup on your Apex / Rithmic feed that runs in minutes, at a fraction of Sierra's typical cost, Senzoukria is the better fit. Our VWAP guide and volume profile guide cover concepts both platforms share.

Migration / setup

You don't need to touch your Sierra Chart data subscriptions to try Senzoukria. Install the .msi (~8 MB), then either drop the NinjaScript bridge file into NinjaTrader (Apex / Rithmic accounts) or sign in with your Rithmic credentials directly inside the app. See the full comparison hub for ATAS, Bookmap and Quantower as well.
