Axiom Pad is a free, on-chart panel for the part of trading that lives between the signals: your process.

Run it in Checklist mode to tick off your pre-trade rules with clickable on-chart checkboxes and a completion score, or in Note mode for freeform reminders. Format with simple markdown-lite, style it with themes and fonts to match your chart, and drag, resize, or collapse it wherever it fits.

Every pad autosaves its own content, layout, and theme per chart, so multiple pads each restore independently after a reload—no second screen, no separate app.

Free download. Confirm your email, create a free Price Axiom account, and download Axiom Pad from your account products page. NinjaTrader 8 required.
