# "Qdirector" Indicator

The Qdirector is our fast scalping indicator for the NinjaTrader platform.

The primary goal of the Qdirector is to catch explosive price action and see large trending moves.

The Qdirector indicator can be used on all futures markets, but most notably the $NQ and $ES.

When paired with our custom Qrenko bar type, traders can find some great setups.

The Qdirector is a very straight forward indicator that prints what we call "Shelves" in bullish or bearish directions.

The Qdirector helps traders see fast trending price action via the printed "Shelves".

When price leaves an area with strong momentum, a bullish (light blue) or bearish (dark blue) "Shelf" will print.

### SETTINGS

The "Shelf" is the only setting we recommend altering inside the toolkit.

Lower Shelf Value = more sensitive to price movements.

Higher Shelf Value = less senstitive to price movements.

Traders can customize the colors of the Qdirector as well as toggle on or off the Qdirector alerts.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.quantvue.io/our-tools/ninjatrader-tools/qdirector-indicator.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
