A small floating panel that knows your NT8 layout. Tag charts with colored focus groups, jump workspaces, raise the Control Center — all from one row of buttons. Open as many panels as you need, one per monitor or one per workspace.
A control panel for your NinjaTrader workspace — focus groups, window control, and chart tagging, right where you trade.
Tag your charts, switch workspaces, and raise the windows you need — the whole flow, start to finish.
NinjaTrader hides everything behind tabs and Z-order. The bigger your setup, the worse it gets. One small floating panel, a few colored buttons, and the right window is in front. That's the whole pitch.
Tag any chart with a colored group. Click the matching button — every chart in that group comes to the front, in Z-order, on whichever monitor it lives on. Switching strategies becomes one click instead of a tab-hunt.
Bind a button to any saved workspace. One click swaps your entire NT8 layout — same underlying call as the Control Center "Workspaces" menu, just without the three-click drill-down to find it.
Control Center, Order Flow +, Strategy Analyzer, Market Analyzer — bind a button to any NT8 window type and bring it forward instantly. No taskbar digging, no alt-tab cycle.
One per monitor. One per workspace. One for trading, one for research. Each panel has its own grid, buttons, theme accent, and tags. Each restores exactly where you left it when NT reloads the workspace.
A tiny color picker drops into every chart's menu bar. Click it, pick a group — that chart is now tagged and joins every "raise group" command from any Focus Manager panel. Tagging is durable across workspace saves and NT recompiles.
Pick a theme — Dark, Dark Blue, or Light. Pick an accent. Resize buttons, toggle labels, toggle colors, wrap long names. Every panel saves its own look so two side-by-side panels can be tuned differently.
Twelve charts open. Six on screen. The one you want — your NQ entry chart — is buried two deep under the news window and an Order Flow ladder you forgot to close.
Tag it once with a color. Bind that color to a button. Now every time you need that chart, and the four sibling timeframes that go with it, one click brings them all forward in the right Z-order. No alt-tabbing. No "where is it." Just there.
CG 1 — every chart tagged orange comes to the front. Others stay where they are.NT8's workspace menu lives three clicks deep in the Control Center. Bind a button to any workspace and skip the trip — same underlying call, instant feedback in the panel's footer showing which workspace is active right now.

All NinjaTrader 8 updates are free for the life of the product. If/when NinjaTrader 9 is released and the port requires significant rework, a small upgrade fee may apply — expect nominal, not a fresh purchase.
Yes — NinjaTrader 8 only. Install like any other NT8 add-on: Control Center → Tools → Import → NinjaScript Add-On → pick the zip. NT auto-installs and recompiles. NT7 and other platforms are not supported.
Yes — open as many as you want. Each one is fully independent: its own grid size, its own buttons, its own theme accent, its own chart-tag assignments. A common setup is one per monitor or one per workspace. The Control Center "New" menu opens a fresh panel every time.
Each Focus Manager panel saves into the workspace XML alongside everything else. Switch to a different workspace and that workspace's panels (with their configurations) load in. Switch back and you're exactly where you left off. No global config file to corrupt.
It's a colored tag. Charts tagged with the same color belong to that group. Click the matching button — every tagged chart raises in Z-order on whichever monitor it's on. Charts not in that group don't move. Combine that with workspace and special-window buttons and you've replaced most of why you alt-tab.
Yes. Any non-chart NT window type you've ever opened in this session can be bound to a button — Control Center, Order Flow +, Strategy Analyzer, Market Analyzer, news windows, add-on windows. Focus Manager discovers them as you open them.
No. It only injects a tiny color swatch into each chart's menu bar and a single menu item into the Control Center's New menu. It doesn't touch order routing, indicators, drawing tools, or strategy code. Safe to run alongside the rest of your NT8 setup, including the MDT Account Copier and MDT Checklist.
A standard NinjaScript Archive (.zip). Compiled, not source. The zip includes the MDT
AddOn Framework runtime — install once, reused by every other MDT AddOn (Checklist,
Account Copier, Risk Manager).
When a new version is released, the new zip appears in your Customer Dashboard Downloads tab. Re-import in NinjaTrader. Your buttons, focus groups, tags, theme, and per-panel positions all stay intact — they live in your workspace XML, not the AddOn itself. More detail in the Docs.

Twelve charts, three monitors, five workspaces — one small floating panel that brings exactly what you need to the front. Five-second setup, every NT8 session from here on.
