The Elite Circle

Due to a breaking change in NT 8.0.17.0 I have re-released all of the indicators described elsewhere as there are a number of inter-dependencies. This seems far easier than breaking them apart - for me anyway (hope you agree). There are a number of sub-indicators, but the main ones are:

• smaCDCycleMTF
• smaDeltaMomentum
• smaCDMomentum
• smaVacuumBars
• smaProAm
• smaZiggetyZag
• smaSineWave

All described:

• Delta
• ProAM
• SineWave

I have included MathNet DLL in the ZIP to make things a little easier. And remember most need Tick Replay.

Enjoy.

Exported using Ninja Trader 64-Bit 7.0.1000.39

It's been a while since I've uploaded anything here as I've been distracted by moving my indicators over to NT-8,

As I work through that learning curve, I wanted to share one of the updates to a NinjaTrader-7 indicator I posted here some time ago.

The attached indicator was based on combining the irSessionSupportAndResistance indicator and the irLabel indicator that gave us the ability to show a price on a hand drawn "Ray"

I originally posted those here and here.

The previous version was downloaded some +1,300 times so I thought it was time to send along the updated version.

In keeping with my pet peeve, the indicator will correctly display fractional pricing when used on Treasuries contracts.

I'll be working on an NT-8 version of this in the next few days/weeks as it gets closer to the top of my list.

Trade well,

Uses a 2 out of 3 vote from CDMomentum, DeltaMomentum and CDCycleMTF to identify overall bursts of Cumulative Delta energy in one direction or the other.

Used with the 'Scoop' option, will identify the first of these (in gold) that occur after a 'failed' period of buying or selling i.e. price went the other way.

As ever - needs TickReplay and Math.Net.

V2 - exposes MTFBrickFactor when using Scoop. I use BetterRenko, but somewhile back changed the bar type from 17 to 1017 due to a clash. As long as you set MTFBrickFactor to non-zero when using Scoop then this is not a problem. BTW - set MTFBrickFactor 1 and the code will always ensure bars size x, x+1 and x+2 will be loaded.

This is my take on something Gomi produced (and likely others). However my spin was I wanted to look at how big each of the pushes was - I call them bulges. I was looking to try and spot exhaustion, divergence, flush combinations.

To do this the indicator looks at consecutive red/green bars (and allows a specified number in the other direction without switching) to calculate the size of each bulge and runs some stats. It calculates a running threshold and treats that as 100%. If a bulge in excess of 100% is spotted it marks the bulge yellow dots and at the end prints its percentage size on the main chart area.

In the end I found it more useful to mark the bulge sizes relative to the previous ones on the same side (buy/sell). Magenta means the bulge is greater than the previous two and white means less than previous two. Watch for sequences of Magenta - Red/Green and then White. This can mean a move is over and ready to turn.

The indicator does colour bars according to some fuzzy bias logic. Basis for this is when bulge sizing switches from one side to the other and this can be seen when a white cross marks a bulge. The magenta bar simply says that a magenta bulge is in progress. Frankly I never found it that useful. In the end I preferred the bias colouring of my CDCycleMTF indicator mentioned in the Delta thread (although I still monitor this bias under the bonnet of my VacuumBar indicator).

As always you need Tick Replay and Math.Net.

Pretty standard momentum of both CD and a separate one for price included.

Both are adaptive if Period is less than 1 (typically choose 0.07), but the default is set to a Period of 14 (it is also a lot faster due to adaptive period calculations).

Both identify peaks exposed as a series (+/- 1).

They need MathNet again - check out https://futures.io/elite-circle/45801-keeping-eye-big-players.html#post699833

3 timeframe analysis of DoubleStochastic of CD. Can colour bars to give bias of buyers/sellers.

It is adaptive if Period is less than 1 (typically choose 0.07), but the default is set to a Period of 40 (it is also a lot faster due to adaptive period calculations).

A multiplier is used for MTF. If you leave as 0 it uses a default of 3 for all bar types except BetterRenko which I use 1.3. On a 3 tick BetterRenko this gives 3, 4 & 5. [ Note: for BetterRenko users my memory is faded, but I think I may have had to change the BarsPeriodType code from 17 to 1017 because of a clash. If this is so you can change it back in smaBaseMethods add-on. Having said that if you override the multiplier it doesn't matter. ]

It needs TickReplay of course and like a lot of my other stuff the MathNet.Numerics DLL (and reference) is required - check out https://futures.io/elite-circle/45801-keeping-eye-big-players.html#post699833

Version 1.

I like to see where a ProAm level is broken at speed. For this I use my ZiggetyZag indicator. It checks for a rotation around PoAm bars with Velocity and a break. Cyan bar and arrow.

This installs smaProAm and VelocityBarsV2 (by Okina).

Note2: It of course needs TickReplay

This plots resistance and support lines derived from Ehler's ideas. I like them as they help to spot Cup & Handle formations.

Breaks of either can be used to give a trend bias. Works nicely when used across multiple timeframes.

Being able to see large orders on the chart helps me enormously and can also be used to give bias.

My indicator looks for three types of events:
Large individual buys or sells (Pro orders)
Large groups of orders at any price (Block orders)
Bars with a high proportion of low size orders (Amateur orders)

In order to create a threshold above which to print the markers I use some stats functions from the Math.NET library so if you want to use my indicator you will need to add the DLL and a reference to it of course. I'm not a stats guy so I guessed at a mix of standard deviations and percentile for the thresholds and I've left these internal to the code. Different instruments respond very differently to these settings. Personally I just looked for settings that didn't flood the screen with markers yet gave enough to be of use - very subjective.

[For minute bar users (I use BetterRenko) this does NOT print the markers at the actual price level - it prints in the middle of the bar (OnBarClose) - not something relevant to me so I probably wouldn't be that keen to change it.]

[Apologies to the expert coders here - I have used the Draw function for these markers - in most of my other stuff I use plots, but I just couldn't get a good look with the standard plots.]

My own experience is I couldn't make any sense of the Amateur orders and so I switch them off. The Pro orders really work for me and I add in the Block orders for good measure.

I use these in various ways which I intend to expand on, but generally use them to establish levels that the pros are working at. Bottom line - when you see a load of these markers together - something is brewing!

Oh and I have exposed series for both Pro bars (0, 1, 2, 3 [+/-] for various types) and an overall bias (+1/-1) which is based either off the sign of the order or the price movement - for me I use the price movement e.g. a large sell that causes price to go up is often a better clue than a buy that does the same.

Have fun.

Steve

P.S. I'm not aware of how version numbering works - an expert might want to let me know. Call this Version 1.
