This is a modified version of the standard ZigZag NT indicator. Input is swing size in ticks.
I was looking for a lightweight swing indicator to use in another project and decided to modify the standard one.
This is a relative volume indicator. I have manually gathered volume data and performed the calculations to verify that the indicator is accurate.
It is based on time, so cannot be used on non-time-based bars. If you do so, it will, at best, show nothing. At worst, it might blow up on you.
It calculates the average volume for the bar with the same Close() time over the previous X number of days. The value of X is input by the user.
It then compares the volume of the current bar to the average volume for that time of day. A negative result means that the current bar has below average volume and a positive result means the current bar has greater than average volume.
Be aware that the greater the number of days being averaged and the shorter the duration of the bars, the longer it'll take to plot the values. I hope the community finds this indicator useful.
Edit:
Oh, and I want to also let you know that if there are fewer days on the chart than what's entered in the lookback parameter (or whatever I called it), the indicator will provide the value based on the number of days available. Just be sure you have days enough on the chart to give you the values you're looking for.
Edit 2:
In answer to the question about a similar indicator for range bars, I'm afraid the logic won't hold up for that. This indicator looks for bars with the same time stamp from prior days. Range bars close at totally random times, based on how far price moves. It's very, very unlikely there'd EVER be one on a prior day that closed at the same time as a range bar from the current day.

Note: Found and fixed a bug and added an additional pattern, as well as the ability to paint the entire bar or just the outline
This indicator identifies candlestick patterns as bars develop and historically. You can click on the bars to see the pattern identified. The core of the patterns uses those in the Ninjatrader CandleStick Pattern indicator. Additional patterns have been added and this searches for ALL the patterns. If more than one pattern is identified, it will show you all of them. The indicator also keeps score based on the patterns identified (bullish + 1, bearish - 1) which is exposed as a series named Trigger so you can use it for other indicators or strategies. If there are any CandleStick pattern experts out there that want to add patterns or find any errors with those already present, please let me know and perhaps we can make this even better.
Also note: There is an NT7 version of the site. bitDavid identified some errors (thank you). That version will not be supported. Pleasure use the current NT8 version.
***Note*** After you import this Chart style, you will have to re-start NinjaTrader. ***End Note***
I tried using an indicator that was built to plot multi-period candles but I found it was resource "heavy".
Additionally the indicator had some issues when used on different Trading Hour Templates.
The result was to modify the "Box" Chart Style that was built into NT-8 to plot a Candlestick.
The default color choices were based on my preferences for Black background charts,
You will need to decide on your own preferences and then save them as a default on your platform.
Special thanks are due to @TWDsje (aka SpeculatorSeth) for his coding expertise in completing this task.

Chart Time indicator to find Lag in seconds and milliseconds
It will display three things in the upper right corner of the chart:
• The core time of NT8
• The chart time of NT8
• The difference of the two times (if the Chart time is behind the core time, it will be a negative number).
EXAMPLE
Here is an example of what you will see in the upper right corner of your chart when you load the indicator on your chart:
12:29:28:529 12:29:28:257 -00.272
USE
I watch this indicator near the start and end of the regular session when my charts will typically lag the market. While trading these times or any other high volume times, when I see a chart lag, I then use the DOM to ensure I see the fastest pricing information that NT8 offers (that I have found).
I didn't build the indicator, just found it on ninjatrader forum (it seems to me that more people are having problems with the lagging of ninjatrader)
This is a fork from Lizard's amaATR's 1.1 version and when installed will also be put into the Lizard folder as "atrTick". Essentially, I created this because ATR is such an important concept and the way the current indicators are built is to give a value based on points. This makes "at a glance" analysis hard because you need to do some arithmetic.
This indicator will display the ATR in either ticks or dollars and will make your chart or Market Analyzer cleaner as comparisons between different instruments makes more sense. In the 15M screenshot provided, it looks like /YM moves the most on the default ATR, but because of it's point value it actually moves less than the /ES and /NQ in terms of dollar value. Another great example is /ZB. It doesn't move many ticks, but it's dollar amount is comparable to the /ES
V 1.1
Fixed the archive and a rounding error for the dollar value, so you should get the exact dollar amount relative to ticks.
This indicator takes two moving averages, calculates their RSI (Relative Strength Index) and then also adds a moving average of the calculated RSI. These two lines now can accurately signal the trend changes. They are shown in the separate window where they change from 0 to 100. Additional histogram indicator is shown for quick reference below the lines.
On the picture the bold blue line is RSI of the moving averages, the thin violet line is its moving average. RSI above MA and RSI above level 50 is a signal of a bullish trend. RSI below MA and RSI below level 50 is a signal of a bearish trend. One can also buy when the RSI breaks level 20 from below and sell when RSI breaks level 80 from above, but those are weaker signals. Histogram provides quick reference. Green lines signal BUY, red signal SELL, magenta mean overbought, blue mean oversold.

Hello again folks,
I created a version of the SOAP(Served On A Platter) indicator from think or swim. It is similar to the Custom TDI I submitted several weeks ago and similar rules apply. It's a layering of stochastics and I included a layered stochastic RSI for a little more information that allows for precision entries/exits. As with the TDI, you'll have to import the indicator settings into your charts. Happy Trading!
Hey guys, I've discovered a custom TDI that can be created without coding. All the indicators are available if you have NT8. Instructions are as follows:
Double stochastics 10 period; Scale justification - right
SUM 3 period; Input series - RSI period 13; Scale justification - overlay
SUM 18 period; Input series - RSI period 13; Scale justification - left
Bollinger; Input series - RSI period 13; Scale justification - right; Period 34, Standard deviations - 2 (Set upper and lower band to transparent to hide or you can leave them if you prefer)
* Best trade set ups for longs is when the 2 SUMs are above or crossing the middle Bollinger band and double stochastic is oversold. The reverse is true for shorts. You can also trade it when fast SUM crosses slow SUM just like other oscillators. It's useful to have it on different time frames and you can adjust the period setting to fit your trading needs. Play around with it and let me know how it works for you!
*The Download is a copy of my indicator template that you'll have to import into your charts or you can follow the instructions to create it yourself.

This is an upgrade from the original BTOpeningRange indicator by Jason Chan (bearishtrader).
The v1 indicator didn't print the open price, only the High/Low range. The open price plot is now available.
Also, you can configure when to stop the plot. By default, the plot will stop when the regular session ends.
The plots, colors and times are all configurable in the properties screen.
I searched high and low for a free, simple indicator with the open range and price. Hopefully this will be useful for anyone looking for the same thing

This strategy allows you:
- convert market-replay(NRD) to CSV format (for each day separately)
- convert market-replay to NinjaTrader ticks import format (*.Last.txt, *.Ask.txt, *.Bid.txt)
How to use it:
1) Connect to Market Replay Connection
2) In strategy tab add MarketReplayDumpStrategy and select Contract you're trying to convert for example ES 09-19(make sure that you have any market replays for that contact). TimeFrame of strategy do not matter, same as DaysToLoad, but better select 1 day to load it faster.
3) Make sure folder from strategy settings exists
4) Enable the strategy and watch Output window
* Dump process can be multi-threaded, you can control that via MaxDegreeOfParallelism
* Creation of import data is single threaded since it is writing to one file
* Strategy will automatically detect life time of contact by expiration/rollover dates from NinjaTrader, and adds extra 3 days before and after
* Once conversion process is done strategy will disable itself
* When importing(Tools->Import->Historical Data) set "Time Zone of imported Data" to your NinjaTrader TimeZone(Tools->Options->General->Time Zone)
* Tested on 8.0.19.1 64-bit

This is a simplified variation of Viktor Likhovidov's digital coding of candlesticks as seen in the September 2001 issue of Stocks & Commodities. Each candlestick is converted into a 3 digit number.
First Digit = High - Open
Second Digit = High - Close
Third Digit = Open - Low
Try it with various bar types and you will see different patterns emerge for minute, range, renko, etc. bar types.
This indie may have value as signaling an entry or exit, especially when used with other indies. Plus, anyone wishing to edit the code will find it very simple and easy to edit.
Those who export their chart data to Excel may find this column of data useful.

I used to use Excel to calculate and average the end-of-day readings of three different Rate Of Change indicators to see if I could graph the differences in Directional Bias across a number of different Futures contracts (Equities, Treasuries, Currencies, Metals, Energy, Grains) in an effort to decide where to focus my trading efforts and capital.
The exercise was time consuming and not that helpful over the long term which lead me to abandon the project, until recently when I revisited the idea using NT-8.
The different period settings I used for the original project (on a Daily chart) were 10, 25 and 35 (Days),
and (on a Weekly chart) were 2, 5 and 7 (Weeks).
The irROCVolatility indicator displays the average of three different (10, 25, 35) ROC (Rate-of-Change) indicators to assist in highlighting directional bias while indicating increases and decreases in Volatility.
I was surprised by the way the indicator works on the smaller Intraday time frames that many of us use as day traders.
I find it helps when I can't understand what Delta is trying to tell me. Hopefully you'll find it useful too.

Indicator updated to Version 2 2019-09-07
Managed to get this sorted out today (finally) for NT-8, with the help of a friend.
As the name implies this is a Delta Momentum indicator (similar to one of the Gomi tools we all used on NT-7).
One thing to note however is that this indicator uses the Order Flow Cumulative Delta that was built into the lifetime license version of NinjaTrader 8 so this will not work with some of the basic versions of the platform.
***Note***
I added some functionality that was missing in the original version (due to my lack of coding skills), this version gives the user the ability to choose the Delta Calculation Type, BidAsk or UpDownTick.
***Note-2***
I'm not sure why, but the file that will download has the original file name even though the indicator included is the corrected version-2.
I've been a fan of Better Renko bars for several years now and was looking for a way to identify when a Wick or a Tail on a Better Renko bar was larger than the setting I had chosen.
Eg., Using a 4 Better Renko bar setting on the ES and looking for Wicks or Tails that were 5 ticks or greater.
This little indicator will do that for you. It simply draws an Arrow symbol above or below the corresponding Wick or Tail.
When I trade the NQ I prefer a 3 Better Renko bar, I use the irWicksandTails indicator to highlight 4 tick Wicks or Tails.
I don't use them for trade entries, I just note when they start to show up and rely on their presence to help me discern a "short term" trend bias.
This indicator is for NT-8, and was compiled with Version 8.0.17.2 64 Bit

March 13th, 2020 03:28 PM Koepisch Hi there @hobbys11, @trepidation,
i can't get it, what the "core time of NT8" really is. What has it to do with the dom and why the chart time has a negat
iv offset. If the chart lags i expect the chart time is the DOM time + x ms, isn't it?
Has it anything to to with the "data feed lag" calculation. Initially i looked for an indicator which compares the datet
ime of the incoming tick with the local computer time, to evaluate data feed / internet routing latency. I'm afraid, tha
t this has nochting to do with this indicator.
March 7th, 2020 06:47 PM trepidation Try installing the TickRefresh indicator to see if that fixes the problem. I know the chart doesn't refresh as quickly a
s the DOM and the TickRefresh indicator solves this issue at the expense of processing power in my experience.
September 5th, 2023 12:37 PM Tradarr Thanks! Can you add squeeze plots for Market Analyzer and Chart Alerts?
August 8th, 2023 07:32 PM MTCTrades AWESOME indicator! Keeps me out of chop, clearly signals when to get in - even uncovered a safe way to enter on reversal
s after exhaustion! SO pleased and grateful to you for sharing this excellent work.
