This is an utility application which I wrote to keep me out of the markets when there is major news coming out (alarm sound). It is so damn easy to forget while you are heavily scalping the markets The application can download the latest news file (must be done at least once a week) from the DailyFx.com site and you can edit the news file to include your own news. You can minimize it to the system tray so it does not allocate your screen space. If you edit the news file remember to run the download again but answer "No" to the question so the app will use the existing/edited one.
How to install:
Create a folder and unzip the files to it.
How to run:
Run the NewsGuard.exe in the folder you just created (working directory must be the same). This is virus free !
Help:
Simple application needs a simple help ? I think you can understand easily the settings in this application. If you have something to ask please post a message in the support thread https://nexusfi.com/elite-circle/5033-newsguard.html
Use this in Strategy Analyzer like any other Ninja Trader 8 strategy.

Coding Tool - OnRender Helper V1 & 2 (nt8b10)
OnRender Helper is a tool for coding, not trading.
I became tired of sometimes 'losing' my 'OnRender' plots because of chart scale values so I made a 'jig' of sorts to help with this.
OnRender Helper enables you to see most ChartControl, ChartBars, ChartPanel and ChartScale properties in realtime as you manipulate the chart and bars.
It helps dispel confusion when coding so you know exactly how, for instance, ChartBars.ToIndex relates to ChartControl.LastSlotPainted or if you want to see the current pixel value of ChartPanel.Y or how many bars are painted on the chart etc etc.
Features:
*You can place in any panel (and all panels) so you can find the properties specifically for that panel.
*Works on multi-tabbed charts.
*V1 sits within the panel and is quite basic, although it does share all values.
*V2 opens a new window so it does not obstruct your chart. You can open the window via a toolbar button.
*V2 - open a DataBox and view the current bar value.
Coding examples:
*How to insert/remove a toolbar button.
*How to open a new window via a toolbar button.
*How to create a hyperlink to a website (NT8Help) that opens in a browser.
*How to access chart/bar properties and convert into string format.
Remember this is for beta so please PM me for bugs. Suggestions and ideas are welcome also!

Standard SMA re-programmed to display fractional pricing to match Interest Rate Futures pricing.
[Will also properly display decimal pricing on contracts other than Interest Rates]
I have a request to share my set-up (4-Range for entry and 8-Range for confirmation). Sincerely hope that the enclosed zip will work. For the templates, please check the Template Download section.

This is the easy language version of the volume breakdown indicator.
I just copied it into Multicharts.
I changed the period length to 8. You can play around with the period setting to maybe get better results.
Using Multicharts, the indicator seems to work best on renko charts.
I have drawn some divergences on the chart.

Exported using Ninja Trader 64-bit 7.0.1000.31
This indicator was developed after reading a request on the NinjaTrader Support Forum. [ here]
One of the members was looking for an indicator to show bars that made the high of the session and the low of the session.
I used to mark these by hand [drawing a rectange or lines] usually on a longer term chart, [a 15 minute for eg.]
The indicator plots the open of the "up-close" bar that makes the high of the session, it also plots the open of the "down-close" bar that makes the low of the session.
I find it helpful for delineating Supply and Demand and for a clue as to when I should change my bias from "leaning long" to "leaning short" and vice versa.
***Note*** Here is a [COLOR="Blue"]link[/COLOR] to a more detailed description of how I use this indicator.
Thanks to a friend for his help getting this to work.

January 26th, 2011 10:00 AM lawtan Thanks for this great tool! However, dailyfx csv file sometimes have the currency codes in small letters e.g. "usd" in
stead of "USD". In such case your program cannot capture the corresponding event in the alarm.
November 21st, 2010 11:03 PM BDawg Thanks for this utility!
If you are baving trouble running this on Win7, try running NewsGuard as "administrator".
Go to the directory where you unzipped the newsguard application and other files.
Right click on the newsguard application icon.
Sselect "Send->". then to desktop (create shortcut).

December 19th, 2016 04:10 AM GeorgeW Thanks for this tool. I can now see why my plot is disappearing off the chart when I reduce the chart Tick value. Can an
yone help with how I code in a filter so that the values are neither too high or too low so that I can still see the plo
t?
