Many thaks for this marvelous thread Perry
I wonder if you would comment on the markups on my chart as to whether the first or second is correct for a Method 1 Signal Bar

The Higher one is the correct Setup bar. The MAIN reason is that on the first example the 5 EMA did not turn up 2 bars, whereas the second example we have at least a minumum of 2 bars up. The second reason is that on the first example I am not sure that the candle crosses the 5 EMA, whereas on the second example the conditions are very clear.

Two more questions please Perry
Regards John

You are correct, both are setup bars, one a method 2 and one a method 1 as you state on your chart.

Perry,
Have you done any backtesting, or perhaps just your personal opinion and experience, on whether your older system (3,14,40 SMA) or newer (5,20 EMA) gives the earlier entries and also which gives the fewest false signals - perhaps I should say fail to reach your first profit objective?
But, most importantly, please accept my appreciation for your dedication and hard work in creating and evolving an excellent rule-based trading system. I have benefited greatly and I am certain many others have also.

I never backtest. If I have a system, I trade it on SIM until I am satisfied with the results. The use of the 40 SMA was used when I traded TIME charts eg. 5min, 10 min. On range charts I have found the 20EMA to be better for entry.

FYI: ZTR is one of the moderators who has spent weeks in relocating most of the indicators and strategies to the centralized Downloads sections.

Thank you.

Beth

Big Mike has done most of the heavy lifting on this. He is still working to get the new downloads section up and running.

Three things I'd like to highlight:

The new global search is amazing [COLOR=#800080]https://nexusfi.com/search/attachments/[/COLOR]

Allows members to find things, but we need your help, please add tags when possible to posts, see figure below.

The Wiki: [COLOR=#800080]How-to import indicators in [AUTOLINK]NinjaTrader[/AUTOLINK] - Big Mike's Day Trading Forum[/COLOR]

Here is the listing for the Process for importing an indicator into NinjaTrader:

Open any custom indicator with Tools > edit NinjaScript and press F5, see if there are any errors, before trying to import any new indicator.







There are 3 ways to "load" a new (or updated) indicator.
  1. Use the import utility (does not always work for a bunch of reasons)
  2. Create a new indicator and paste the XYZ.cs file into it from notepad
  3. Open an existing indicator (with the same name ) and paste over it, again from notepad.
Finally consider editing the Quick Summary Post. This would allow linking of indicators, other outside


sources, summaries, anything that you believe is helpful.
[COLOR=#800080]Max-td has a thread with Suggestions[/COLOR] and used this thread as the model of how this should be done

Over the next few weeks downloads should be finished and we hope the usefulness of the Wiki and Quick Summaries will become aparent.

Perry another small clarification.
For a Method 2 entry where it states that for a Long entry "The Lowest High ofthe last 5 bars including the setup bar must be greater than the EMA(20)".
I am presuming this means the Lowest High must be ABOVE the EMA(20) & of course the reverse for a Short.
Regards John

I'm attaching my incomplete attempt to automate entry 'Method 1'. I don't doubt that some of you are making good profits with these methods. When I look at the charts I think I could, which is why I wish to automate it. Unfortunately I don't have the screen time for discretionary trading, as I still have to work a full-time job.
The problem is, according to backtesting of this strategy, this method's performance is dismal. I would very much appreciate it if some of you would take a look and see if I am taking entries contrary to the established method, and if so maybe you can tell me what entry criteria I am not accounting for.
THANK YOU.

attention - the Strategy is for NT 7 + exported also with NT 7 > this means :

- importing this .zip into 6,5 - Not working !
- strat + indicators in NT 6,5 - not tested yet !

Perry,

If the EMA 20 trend is blue (bullish) or red (bearish) for several hours or for the day where previous S/R levels are being broken continously how would you trade using method 1? Just take the first trade and stop or possibly look for method 2 entries? Just wondering if you take the 2nd or 3rd or 4th or Nth signals in such a situation?


Thanks,
gulab

I cannot give answers to theorectical situation. If you want me to respond to something specific please show charts and refer to the chart. From your above question I do not have a clue as to what you are asking.
