Anyone trading using this complex technique ? It's available as a Ninja Trader add-in as far as I know.

Excellent. ES, CL, ZB, GC. There are lots of resources out there on the web. I have even written some. Google is your friend.

I've been in a trading room that uses it. Performance: awful at best.....trading ES.
They combined Volume Profile and Money Flow index.
I find it overly complex. I get a headache looking at the hundreds of numbers on the screen.

CL, YM, E7
You need to spend some time to understand the relation between price movement and delta. You will see in real time what 'they' are doing and learn how you can react on it. Go with the flow and sometimes go against the flow, it is all in the print

It depends also at what level they are looking at. If it is in out, hunderds of print, maybe they need to get a bigger picture to trade from

Level ? Don't know.....7 minute bars is all I know. In Out ? What does that mean ?
You guys using this tool are in a whole different world of technical analysis.
