Color Styles · v3.6.0.0

Ten ready-made styles.
Every color still yours.

Each style is a settings file for SidiFootprint with 158 colors already chosen and balanced across the bid and ask columns, delta, imbalances, VPOC, zones and the statistics panel. Load one in a few seconds, then change anything you want. A style is a starting point, not a corset.

10 styles · JSON settings files · free download · built on SidiFootprint v3.6.0.0
§ 02Loading a Style

Four steps,
inside the tool.

Styles load in SidiFootprint's own settings window, not through the NinjaTrader template menu. The two screenshots below show which window and which button.

Step 01

Put the file where SidiFootprint looks.

Save the downloaded file in Documents\NinjaTrader 8\templates\SidiResources\Indicators\SidiFpPack\SidiFootprint\Settings\. That is the folder the Load dialog opens by default, so the file is already in front of you in step 3.

Step 02

Open the settings window.

On your chart, click the SidiFootprint config button. The realtime settings window opens. Along the bottom bar you see Send Log, Save, Load and Ok.

Step 03

Press Load.

Load opens a dialog called Open JSON File, already pointing at the Settings folder from step 1. Select the style file.

Step 04

Confirm, then change whatever you like.

Each style carries its own name, for example SidiFootprint - Bloomberg Active. Pick it, press Ok, and the chart repaints. From that moment every color is a normal setting again, open in the same window.

Before your first load: press Save once and keep your own settings file next to the styles. A style writes the complete set, all 1000 properties, not only the 158 colors. That one saved file is your way back.
§ 03One Thing To Avoid

Not a template.
A settings file.

These JSON files are not NinjaTrader indicator templates and not chart templates. They load from inside SidiFootprint only. Two NinjaTrader menus look like they should work here. They will not.

Wrong way

The NinjaTrader template menus.

Do not use Right-click on the chart > Templates > Load Indicators dialog > Template > Load

Both menus expect NinjaTrader's own template format. A style file is a different thing, so the menu either ignores it or reports an error, and nothing on your chart changes. This is the same family of mix-up as installing the Sidi tools through Import > NinjaScript Add-On instead of running the EXE installer.

+ Right way

The SidiFootprint settings window.

Do this instead Chart > SidiFootprint config button Bottom bar > Load > pick the style > Ok

One window, one button. The dialog already opens in the folder the styles belong in, and the chart repaints as soon as you confirm. Press Save once beforehand and your own setup is one Load away again.

§ 04Downloads

Take one,
or take all ten.

Each file is a complete SidiFootprint settings set, 1000 properties, of which 158 carry the colors. Built on v3.6.0.0. Take a single style, or take the bundle and try one per session.

§ 05Good to know

Before you load.

Q · 01Does loading a style overwrite my current setup?+
Yes. A style writes the complete settings set, all 1000 properties, not just the colors. Press Save in the same bottom bar first and keep your own file next to the styles in the Settings folder. Then switching back is one Load away.
Q · 02Can I still change single colors afterwards?+
Every single one. A style only sets the starting values. Bid and ask columns, imbalance markers, stacked imbalances, VPOC, value area, memory zones and the statistics panel all stay open in the settings window exactly as before. The styles are a shortcut, not a lock.
Q · 03The Load dialog shows a name that is not the file name. Why?+
Each style carries a SystemName inside the JSON, for example SidiFootprint - Bloomberg Active. That is what the dialog displays, so the styles stay identifiable even if you rename the files on disk.
Q · 04Which SidiFootprint version do I need?+
The files are built on v3.6.0.0. Run the current installer once and you are on it. If a later version renames settings, the styles are rebuilt and published here under a new version folder.
Q · 05Are there light styles?+
Not yet. All ten are dark. Footprint numbers sit inside small cells, and on a dark chart the bid and ask figures hold their contrast better across a long session. Light variants are on the list.

Styles are the easy part.
The data is the point.

SidiFootprint reads bid and ask at every price level, flags imbalances, tracks delta and holds the VPOC. Fourteen days, all ten Sidi tools, nothing locked.
