Version 1.1 September 9, 2018

The Regression Channel already comes as a NinjaTrader default indicator. However, the NinjaTrader default indicator comes with a few limitations, which are adressed by this indicator:

- The default indicator calculates the regression channel from the last bar loaded by OnBarUpdate(). When the chart scrolled back horizontally, the regression channel remains in its future position until it drops out of the chart.
- The default indicator does not allow for calculating the linear regression channel a few bars ago and then project the channel lines forward until the current bar.

This version of the indicator has the two issues addressed:

- The regression channel is calculated from the last bar shown on the chart and will adapt its position accordingly when you scoll back the chart horizontally.
- You may enter an offset and calculate the regression channel a few bars ago. The regression channel will then be extended until the last bar shown on the chart.

Repainting behavior: All regression channels - whether linear or polynomial - belong to the class of repainting indicators. All regression channels are retrofitted to the selected lookback period. The repainting can be easily observed with this indicator when scrolling horizontally. The indicator comes with an option to display the regression bands. The regression bands show the trace that the regression channel has painted on the chart without repainting any prior bars.

Public DataSeries: The indicator comes with four additional public DataSeries that can be accessed via the strategy builder.

- Normalized slope - This is an output which returns the slope in synthetic degrees. The slope has been normalized by dividing it by the square root of the average true range and then applying the arctangent.
- NormalizedChannelWidth - This series returns the normalized channel width around the regression line and may be used as a measure of non-directional volatility.
- RegressionTrend - The regression trend holds the value + 1 for an upsloping regression line and -1 for a downsloping regression line.

Market Analyzer Columns: The indicator comes with three separately coded market analyer columns which allow for displaying normalized slope, normalized channel width and the regression trend on the market analyzer.

HiLoCurrentPrice indicator
Exported with: ----- NinjaTrader 7.0.1000.39
Release Date: ------ 8/27/2018
Indicator name: ---- fpgHiLoCurrentPrice

Description:
This indicator displays how much the Highest, Lowest, and Current price has moved from an opening value as follows:

1. The value is in ticks
2. The opening price is determined either from opening bar at market open or from the first day.
3. The opening price neutral zone is determined by the user.
4. The price movement is spread across 5 zones Above and Below (as required) with each zone representing 20% of the move.
5. Either the inactive and active zones or only the active zones can be displayed. In the only active zone display option, the hiding and un-hiding is controlled by when two MAs cross the neutral zones.
6. The current bar color represents up and down bars and above or below the opening price.
7. Zone coloring and opacity is controlled by the user
8. Informational messages can be displayed


Notes

1. Opening Price: The way opening price is determined is a user option. It can either be the close price of the first bar at each market open or the close price of only the first bar. Choosing the market open (Daily_MO) will cause a reset at every market open whereas the first bar option (FromFirstBar) is continuous. If the setting “Load data based on” is set to anything other than “Days” FromFirstBar is forced.

2. Opening Price Neutral Zone: This zone is a specified number of ticks above and below the opening price and is the base value for the Above and Below Zones. It acts as a visual buffer for direction change and is used in the hiding and un-hiding of zones.

3. Zone Creation: The zones are created when the price moves 5 (the number of zones) * the zone tick size (default 3) but only after the neutral zone is created for the current direction. All five zones are create at one time. The zones are only expanded and that occurs when the price moves 5 ticks. Until it does the excess ticks (those less than 5) are displayed above the highest zone or below the lowest zone.

4. Zone coloring options: Several templates are provided to assist in creating the zones

4.1. AsSpecified – uses the colors and opacity setting specified for each zone.

4.2. Replicate_A1_and_B1 – sets all of the Above zone colors to the A1 color and all the Below zone colors to the
B1 color. The A1 & A2 opacity values are used to set the other Above Zone opacity on an alternating basis.
The same process is used for the Below zones. The zone display in the screen shot uses this method.

4.3. Replicate_AIA2_and_B1B2 – uses the color and opacity of the A1and A2 Zones and replicates to the other Above zones and likewise for the B1 and B2.

4.4. A_Sets_B – the Above Zone settings are replicated to the Below Zones.

4.5. None: – technically not a template, this option turns off zone coloring.

5. Zone Display Options: This option controls if the both the active and inactive zones (the area of the current bar) is displayed or only the active zone (hiding and un-hiding). The hiding and un-hiding is controlled by the MA lines. While the hiding and un-hiding works well with non-time-based bars it is possible that volatile price movements (when using low value time-based bars) might cause unnecessary hiding and un-hiding. Altering the MA periods or chart settings may help. If not, it can be turned off.

6. Bar Coloring: There are 4 bar coloring options (1) Above Up and Down, and (2) Below Up and Down. The default uses the lightest bar colors for the up direction and the darker ones for the down direction, regardless of bar location.

7. Moving Average coloring: The MAs can be turned off, or independently colored according to locations (Above, Below, In Neutral zone). Only the MA periods can be changed. The Fast Ma is a LinReg and the Slow is an EMA. These MAs are based on the current bar values. Although not the intended use in this indicator it may be possible to use these the same way as the Trigger lines by @FatTails as they are of the same type, however no visual or external signals are provided.

8. Background color: A background color for the indicator region can be independently set. Default colors assume a dark chart background, the indicator’s background color option is not enabled

Change Log
8/27/2018 - Initial release

This indicator is for equities traders, to compare current performance with the 'other 3' equities and an average of all 4.
It adds data series for ES, NQ, RTY and YM, shows % change for each since the session open (24 hr session, not just the day session) as well as a simple moving average of all 4. The SMA period is user-configurable. Default is 10.

Please note that the expiry date is one of the parameters. It's hard-coded with an 09-18 expiration, but you'll need to manually update that when you use the next contract date. (Or an earlier one)

I know I could have made the code extract the current expiry date, but the truth is I didn't feel like bothering working out that code again. (Did it for a previous indicator in NT7.)

I hope some of you find this indicator of use.

NT 8 Market Replay data for CL

Contract: CL 09-18



Download instructions:

dowload and unzip file in NT 8 replay folder Documents\NinjaTrader 8\db\replay
The file will create a folder with the relevant front month and a series of .nrd files inside (one per day)

Make sure to use the "extract here" function as shown, and not the "Extract to" function, to avoid the creation of a folder within a folder.

Note: this is Market Replay data for NinjaTrader 8. The format is different from NT7.

Hey traders! Spent this arvo creating some EA's and indicators. Here's one I'd like to give to you for free!

The indicator is called ShortyGetShort version 1. It's for Metatrader 4.

The signal comes up as a red square. It's only good for shorting, though, so really keep this in mind if you do decide to use it. Bear in mind, not every single signal it produces will result in a good trade, so try combining it with other indicators like bollinger bands or RSI.

Personally, I like to combine it with the ichimoku cloud as a filter. It will (well, it should) also create an alert so you don't miss any signals. Try it on the major pairs and gold. 4H timeframe should be alright. Happy trading everyone! Enjoy!

Contains two indicators:

Stats
Displays the historical probability over time for that specific stat. Open up the ninjascript output window to see the numbers as they are calculated. The default indicator currently shows the historical probability over the overnight range being broken.

Range Histogram
A histogram showing the distribution of ranges for each bar. The graph shows the value area in blue which is 70% of all samples. Keep in mind that the graph uses a logarithmic scale so differences between values are actually greater than they appear on the graph.

Zip also contains the Opening Range indicator created by Lizard which is available here: https://www.lizardindicators.com/indicator-library-2/session-tools/opening-range/

Version 1.0 August 14, 2018

The Double Smoothed Stochastics by Walter Bressert came after William Blau presented his version of the Double Smoothed Stochastics in 1991. Both indicators are widespread in the trading community, but they use different algorithms. While William Blau applied separate smoothing to numerator and denominator, Walter Bressert simply applied the Stochastics %K line to itself. Applying the Stochastics twice leads to an acceleration of the running pattern. Furthermore the Double Stochastics is smoother when compared to the classic Stochastics and generates signals more frequently.

The Double Stochastics by Walter Bressert ships with NinjaTrader as in-built indicator. This version of the Stochastics adresses a few issues of the NinjaTrader default indicator:

- The default indicator has preset the %K line smoothing to 3, value which cannot be changed.
- The default indicator does not have a signal line.
- The default indicator can only be applied to price, but cannot be applied to other indicators.

This version allows for setting the smoothing period for the %K line, comes with a signal line and maybe applied to other indicators as input series.

Version 1.1 September 12, 2018

This indicator is based on the original version of the Better Volume Indicator from www.emini-watch.com. It identifies the following events relative to the selected lookback period:

Breakout or climax bars: A breakout or climax bar is a wide range high volume bar for which the the product "volume times range" is higher than for all preceeding bars of the lookback period.

Churn bars: A churn bar is a narrow range high volume bar for which the ratio "volume per range" is higher than for all preceeding bars of the lookback period.

Climax churn bars: A climax churn bar is a high volume bar that qualifies both as a climax bar and as a churn bar.

Low volume bars: A low volume bar is a bar which has a lower volume than for all preceeding bars of the lookback period.

The indicator uses two lookback periods. The larger lookback period identifies stronger climax and churn bars, the smaller lookback period points to weaker climax and churn bars and is used to identify low volume bars.

A breakout or climax bar may occur at different locations. It may start a trend as a breakout bar, it may indicate that an existing trend continues after price has consolidated or it may occur at the end of a trend and indicate that the trend is near exhaustion. This bar type is similar to classic types of gaps that may be found on daily charts. There are runaway gaps, continuation gaps and exhaustion gaps. Breakout or climax bars may be used as a subsitute for those gaps when trading smaller timeframes.

Relative Volume: When you use the BetterVolume indicator with intraday data, it is pretty much distorted at the beginning of the regular session. When compared to pre-session bars, all the bars in the beginning of the regular session look like high volume bars, which in turn leads to false signals. This behavior is corrected when the Better Volume indicator is applied to "relative volume" instead of "absolute volume". This version of the indicator allows for performing the Better Volume calculations on both absolute volume and relative volume.

Sound Alerts: The indicator comes with sound alerts.

Market Analyzer Column: I have included a market analyzer column with the install file. The market analyzer column will return bar codes for each type of signal: strong climax churn bar = 0, strong climax bar = 1, strong churn bar = 2, weak climax churn bar = 3, weak climax bar = 4, weak churn bar = 5, low volume bar = 6, upclose no signal bar = 7, downclose no signal bar = 8, doji no signal bar = 9. Based on these values you may define cell conditions and show the signals as text with background color on the market analyzer.

Update version 1.1: Bug removed. Sound alerts did not fire, because the path for the sound files had not been initialized.

Nota: The forum software has renamed the downloadable zip file to the false version number 1.0. Please disregard the version number of the zip file. The zip file contains the indicator version as specified above.

This indicator merely draws a horizontal line at the current price, updating as price changes.

I find it kinda handy for noting when price is approaching previous turning points without drawing S/R lines all over the place.

As requested, this indicator has been updated for NT8.

It merely counts the number of rising and falling bars that occur in succession, resetting the number every time a bar either goes the other way or closes at the same value as it opens.

This also includes an SMA of both rising and falling bars with a user-configurable SMA period.

Hope you find some use for it.
