This download file contains two custom histogram indicators: CCIHist and ErgodicHist
The visual design and use of these two indicators is essentially the same, the difference being the underlying indicator (CCI or Ergodic). Using the visual controls provided, the indicator presentation can be configured in a wide variety of ways. Both indicators are optimized for NinjaTrader 7.
The default settings for both indicators are pre-configured to specifications outlined in JD's ATM thread (link below) at this link is further description and images showing a variety of indicator configuration settings and styles...
The files were exported with NinjaTrader Version 7.0.1000.26
Change Log:
03-13-2014 : CCIHist - Fix optimization logic affecting calculated value when COBC=false. Hard coded input type for CCIHist to Typical. Added control to color the signal line. ErgodicHist - Added control to color the signal line.
10-24-2015 - Added Sound Alert for Signal Line crossovers ("cross dots")
See the discussion here. (Note this thread goes back to an earlier time and the template has evolved slightly... for instance the 540BB is white since I use a black background; but these changes are minor and you can get the idea from them).
There is no version number as this is a comilation of all the custom indicators used in this template. It is what I use as of the date of this submission.
This is a collection of various filters by John Ehlers outlined in his books "Rocket Science for Traders" and "Cybernet Analysis for Stocks and Futures".
Indicator paints when confirming both CCIs above or below zero. Can use one CCI for trend and other for entries and exits similar to Jeff's CCI - but longer frame CCI for trend instead of MAs. CCI lengths are adjustable inputs. Need to change color of your instrument bar to the neutral color (yellow in my case). Noob with EL so take it easy on me.
There was something wrong with the export I did 6 January 2011. If you downloaded before 8 January 2011 the version you downloaded probably will not import. Sorry for any inconvenience.
The original version colors the background depending on the user set threshold but does not change the lines on the Histograph. This version sets the lines according to the threshold as well as changes the background color.
Basic automated strategy using the CCI indicator. Strategy will buy when CCI crosses above oversold (default -100) and strategy will sell when CCI crosses below overbought. If 0 is input as stop or limit, the strategy will default to stop and reverse logic.
This indicator was written according to the trading method developed by Jeff Castille (Jeff's CCI thread). It is a 50 period CCI histograph with an additional 6 period CCI plot. It has Jeff's Dots plotted on the zero line and two, angle of the moving average thresholds, plotted on the 100 and -100 lines. The hisograph and the CCI(6) change colors above and below the zero line. The CCI(50) changes colors above the 100 line and below the -100 line. This was written in v6.5. I am NOT a programmer. Have a professional check the code before trading real money with it.
The premise behind this indicator is to capture the overbought and oversold conditions of CCI, and then draw trend lines on the chart representative of the turning points.
It is designed for Range or Renko charts only.
The lines are drawn in realtime and do not change. They are drawn as soon as a bar closes where the CCI has pivoted to/from an overbought/oversold area, so you get instant feedback.
The idea is the top (resistance / blue) represents the top of the normal trading range. Price will normally bounce off this resistance area and move lower. The bottom (support / red) represents the bottom of the normal trading range. Price will normally bounce off this support area and move higher.
When price does break through either S/R area, it tends to make new highs and lows (ie: breakout).
