HLC Chart Style (Version 2.0) for NinjaTrader 7 5 *
The attached file is a new chart style for NinjaTrader 7 that adds High, Low, Close (HLC) bars, which are popular for Volume Spread Analysis (VSA).

There are indicators for NT that can be used to simulate HLC bars, but these are not coloured by paint bar indicators, which are designed to colour bars and not other indicators.

This chart style will be coloured by paint bar studies, because it creates a new bar style.

The first version of the chart style is described here and that page has tips on programming and installing the chart style.

Installation

Download HlcChartStyle.zip, then follow the usual import procedure. File, Utilites, Import NinjaScript. Then restart NT.

The screen shot shows HLC bars coloured by Better ProAm from Emini-Watch.

Hourly Pivots (amaPivotsHourly) 5 *
Version 1.0 January 14, 2019

The Hourly Pivots indicator applies the calculation used for daily floor pivots to intraday time frames. The indicator displays pivots for any selectable period of N minutes. All pivots are calculated from the high, low and close of the prior N-minute period. The pivots can be displayed as floor pivots, wide pivots or Fibonacci pivots. The indicator further plots the pivot range, which is a value area derived from the prior N-minute period.

The default setting of the indicator is 60 minutes. With default settings the indicator will display hourly pivots including the Main Pivot PP, Central Pivot CP, Directional Pivot DP, Pivot Range, R1, R2, R3, R4 S1, S2, S3 and S4. The first period always starts with the daily session break. Depending on the period selected, the last period of the session may terminate before completion. It will not carry over to the first period of the next session.

Pivot range: The pivot range is the range between CP and DP. It is a symmetrical range around the main pivot PP.

Prior high, low and close: The indicator also displays the high, low and close for the prior N-minute period. These levels often act as support or resistance for the consecutive N-minute period.

Pivot formulas:

All options: H = prior day high, L = prior day low, C = prior day close, X = H - L
Main Pivot: P = (H+L+C)/3
Central Pivot: CP = (H+L)/2
Directional Pivot: DP = 2*P - CP
Floor Pivots: P = (H+L+C)/3, R1 = 2*P - L, S1 = 2*P - H, R2 = P + X, S2 = P - X, R3 = R1 + X, S3 = S1 - X, R4 = R3 + (P-L), S4 = S3 - (H-P)
Wide Pivots: P = (H+L+C)/3, R1 = 2*P - L, S1 = 2*P - H, R2 = P + X, S2 = P - X, R3 = R2 + X, S3 = S2 - X, R4 = R3 + X, S4 = S3 - X
Fibonacci Pivots: R1 = P + 0.382*X, S1 = P - 0.382*X, R2 = P + 0.618*X, S2 = P - 0.618*X, R3 = P + X, S3 = P - X, R4 = P + 1.382*X, S4 = P - 1.382*X

HowToTellWhereTradersPlaceTheirOrders 5 *
TraderInterviews.com sent this worth mentioning 12 pages eBook.



Every new trader should SEE where orders sit and understand why sometimes price is rejected very fast at a breakout or price stall on high volumes.


This is part of a good Price Action understanding and could help you avoid bad entries.



Good Trading!

Ichomoku Kinkyo Ho Pack V1.2 4 *
I have developed a modification of the venerable Ichimoku Indicators.
( https://www.kumotrader.com/ichimoku_wiki/ )

In this case, there is a third longer term line 3* the usual 2nd line (Kijun). Why? Because it will line up with a longer term chart 3* higher (i.e. trading chart 150 ticks, LT 450 ticks, or 5 and 15 mins).

Also because the longer term line will often line up exactly with the Clouds that are drawn 27 bars ahead based on current action. The LT Clouds are drawn 81 bars ahead and are the equivalent to the Clouds in the LT chart. This way you don't really need the LT chart but also you see the relationship of shorter and longer term cycles/trends on the same screen which is helpful.

The Ichi3Lines indicator has (too) many bells and whistles such as a Bollinger 'tunnel', triangles that show simple pattern pullbacks within an Ichi trend. But it also has aspects of the official method not available in other indicators such as:

Circles plotted when the Clouds (Senkou Spans) cross up or down, and in my case with slightly different colors so you know immediately whether it's a long term cross or short term cross (these are happening off the screen in the 'future').

There is also a diamond plotted along with an optional line when there is a 'Chikou' cross, which is the current price crossing above or below the Chikou line which is plotted 27 bars in the past. This line is not on the chart because when viewing an historical chart it is very messy. In actual trading that line is in the past and is fine.

There are arrows indicating the basic 9-27 cross (tenkan-kijun).

There are pink arrows indicating when the longer term Kijun (KijunLT) which I have added (darker green plot) crosses above or below the cloud plot. These are strong confirmations of a strong trend indicating longer term breakouts.

There are also many back color options which only work on lighter screens so this picture with black background does not show them.

On this picture, to reduce screen noise, I also did not plot the basic Tenkan and Kijuns (sacriledge!) and only plotted the Kijun LT (dark green dash line) and my own 'equilibrium line' (pink dotted line) which is the average of the Tenkan(9), Kijun(27) and KijunLT (81) medians, the idea being that this is the current equilibrium price. It is around this price that the oscillator is built.

The oscillator: in addition, there is an Ichi 'Squeeze' Oscillator which is quite good but which unfortunately has a small glitch in that sometimes the lines don't plot and I can't figure out why. Also, it seems to happen only with minute bars. They used to work and now they don't and I must have changed something at some point and now can't find out what.

It is designed to help in identifying the longer and shorter term trends together, when they are lined up or not, but also has a faster line (Combo) that is pretty effective at showing extreme OB and OS conditions. There are three lines in the usual 0, OB and OS areas which display the ST, Medium Term and LT slopes of the Tenkan(9), Kijun(27) and KijunLT(81) medians respectively. There are also thicker lines above and below which show when all three trends are lined up.

The oscillator bars plot green when the Tenkan and Kijun slopes are not in agreement, i.e. often during consolidation or retracement zones and indicate caution/indecision. Also excellent for possible pullback/retracement entries in direction of overall trend which has not yet changed but is being challenged.

So for those who like the Ichimoku approach or those who wish to study it, this will prove helpful.

Best to disable most of the bells and whistles such as the Bollingers, pullback arrows and triangles and just work with the lines, Chikou span crosses (diamonds on close), Senkou Span crosses (cloud crosses that are in the clouds indicator and always plot), and the main signal arrows.

Oh. there is also an extreme OB/OS plot (pink diamonds) when the price has moved unusually far from the Kijun (middle green line) based on ATR and that distance. They are quite effective at indicating when a market has got ahead of itself.

Also, you can select paintbars, including divergence. The divergence colors are hard coded as red (in bull mkts) and magenta (in bears) so for those who have red down bars this won't be very helpful!

For trend trading, Ichis are truly superior. If you have a bearish cross or situation and the price has gone beneath both the ST and LT clouds, something which you will have been watching develop for quite some time because the clouds are drawn ahead of time, there is a strong probability of a sustained trend for a while. Similarly, early pullbacks in that situation often present low risk shorting opportunities, especially if the price retraces to the cloud bottom(s) and stops and especially if they are long, flat bottoms, indicating there was a long period of congestion at equilibrium and that value area is now about to change as all the action that was needed to happen there is past, or new perceptions have entered the market valuation matrix.

If anyone can fix the glitch in the Squeeze, I'd be grateful!

Note on Colors: apart from the fact that most were designed on white backgrounds whereas now I am going back to black, a note on the trend colors. I use what could be called a daoist system of colors which might be confusing: bullish colors are light and rising, bearish colors are darker and heavier so falling, so in my case I use golds and yellows for bullish (lighter, brighter) and blues for bearish (like water, heavier). Reds and Greens are neutral usually used for basic bars, longer term indicators, though often red is for some sort of extreme. For people used to red = bearish blue = bullish this can be confusing.

COMPATIBILITY:
NinjaTrader 6.5: YES
NinjaTrader 7.0: NO (tested by sam028)

Improved Donchian Channel Indicator 5 *
The download link was broken. I re-uploaded the installer file on March 14, 2016.


"The Donchian Channel indicator is an indicator that was created by Richard Donchian. The Donchian Channel indicator that was created by Richard Donchian is an indicator that uses the highest high and the lowest low of the price of a stock over a period of days to indicate the plot of a channel of the highest high and the lowest low of the price of a stock over a period of days."

To clarify that, "이 리차드 Donchian 만든 표시했다 Donchian 채널 표시. 이 지표가 가장 높은의 채널의 음부과 최저의 낮은 말을 일 기간 동안 가장 높고 주식의 저렴한 가격의 최저를 사용하는지 리처드 Donchian에 의해 생성 된 Donchian 채널 표시 일 기간 동안 주식의 가격".

This plots identically to the Ninjatrader version while using a fraction of the CPU resources. With COBC false, that would be more like a TINY fraction. (Even less than the fraction of truthful content in my newspapers. Or the signal to noise ratio of the indicator description, which has been rephrased as Gibberish and translated into two different languages.)

The MIN and MAX algorithms have been moved into the indicator and are called only when needed. Optimizing external classes is good, but eliminating the need for them is even better.

OnBarUpdate is not called for redundant intrabar ticks that would not affect the output.

If you want to use this to replace the Ninjatrader Donchian System Indicator you would have to rename this one and put it in a folder with the @prefix after deleting the original one. If you are not comfortable doing that, please don't.

This has a different name than the system indicator, so can be installed in the usual way using the Import Ninjascript utility.

Your satisfaction is important to me, so please report any problems.

InBarsOut v1
Attached is a paintbar indi for TradeStation to show Inside
and Outside bars - or rather TS' Engulfing and Harami bars.

The attached picture has inside bars light green & bright red,
outside bars dark green & red. It is just an example - not all
reversals are signaled as well as that !

To be able to use the windows colors specified in the code,
you have to install x11.eld from
https://jamstrategytrading.com/FreeStuff.htm
This allows access to many of Windows' standard colors by
name.
See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11_color_names

As in the code, to specify a color, one then prepends
color.
to the color's name :
InDnColor(color.Red)
for instance.
If you're happy with TradeStation's range of colors, you can
remove every instance of
color.

The (amateur) code :

 
Code
{ Candlestick PaintBar }

inputs: Length( 14) , 
    InUpColor(color.Chartreuse) , InDnColor(color.Red) , 
    OutUpColor(color.DarkGreen) , OutDnColor(color.FireBrick) ,
    NmlUpColor(color.LightSeaGreen), NmlDnColor(color.LightSalmon) ,
variables: oBullishEngulfing( 0 ) , oBearishEngulfing( 0 ) , oBullishHarami(0) , oBearishHarami(0), barColor(blue) ;

Value1 = C_BullEng_BearEng( Length, oBullishEngulfing, oBearishEngulfing ) ;
Value2 = C_BullHar_BearHar( Length, oBullishHarami, oBearishHarami ) ;

    if oBullishEngulfing = 1 then barColor = OutUpColor  
    else if oBullishHarami = 1 then barColor = InUpColor   
    else if oBearishEngulfing = 1 then barColor = OutDnColor  
    else if oBearishHarami = 1 then barColor = InDnColor   
    else if Close > Open then barColor = NmlUpColor  
    else if Close < Open then barColor = NmlDnColor  ;

    PlotPaintBar( High, Low, "InsOuts", barColor ) ;

Initial Balance Range Bands V42 5 *
Exported using NT Version 7.0.1000.26

Indicator will only run on NT 7.0.1000.5 or later.

Discretionary traders: Please use the multi-timeframe version of the indicator for odd minute charts and charts built from ticks.

https://nexusfi.com/download/ninjatrader-7/indicators/938-download.html?view

The indicator displays the current open, the initial balance (IB) and upper and lower range bands that are calculated by adding and subtracting fractions of the initial balance to the IB high and IB low.

You can only use this indicator with an appropriate session template. The opening time will align itself to the start time of the RTH session, as specified via session template. The hybrid setting assumes that you want to use the 3rd intraday session as RTH session for FOREX and currency futures and the second session for all other instruments.

Example ES: Select a session template with the following sessions: Session 1 (night session) 15:30 - 8:30 Central Time, Session 2 (RTH) 8:30 - 15:15 Central Time. Select second session for opening range.

Select length of opening period: The length of the opening range can be selected via indicator dialogue box The default setting is 60 minutes.

Select Offset: With an offset of 00:00, the indicator aligns to the start of the selected session. If you enter a positive value for the offset, the opening range will be shifted forward from the session start. For example if you open a chart for ES with the session template US CME Index Futures, then the session (and the trading day) starts at 5:00 PM Central Time. To display an opening range for the regular session, you need to enter an offset of 15:30, because the regular session starts 15 hours and 30 minutes after the start of the trading day.

Multipliers for range bands: The multipliers for the upper and lower range bands can also be changed. The default settings for the bands are 0.5, 1 and 2, meaning that the first upper band is built from the IB high by adding half of the IB range, and similar for the other bands.

Developing range: Prior to the completion of the initial balance, the indicator plots the developing range in gray to show that the range is still incomplete.

Night session or pre-session range: The indicator also has an option to display the full night session, European or Asian session range. This feature is not used with the default settings. I did not add it on purpose, it was already part of the opening range indicator, and it was easier to leave it than to remove it.

European Session Range: You can select start and end time of the European Session in CET (Central European Time). The European Session is pre-configured for the time between 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM CET.

Asian Session Range: You can select start and end time of the Asian Session in TST (Tokyo Standard Time). The Asian Session is pre-configured for the time between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM TST.

Update June 2, 2011: New signature for GetNextBeginEnd() implemented.
Update June 11, 2011: Small bug removed, indicator did not display opening range and pre-session range correctly during the training period (first bars of the chart, after scrolling to the left horizontally).
Update June 21, 2011: The indicator now works with half-pip FOREX feeds. Indicator dialogue box improved.
Update July 25, 2011: Serialization of the plots and indicator dialogue box changed.
Update January 24, 2012: Offset added, opening period no longer needs to be aligned to session start.
Update February 19, 2012: Option added to cut off the opening range at the next session break.
Update October 6, 2013: Minor bug removed, offset was not applied correctly on tick charts, when indicator was set to COBC = false.
Update October 24, 2013: Drop down property added for European and Asian Time Zone
Update December 8, 2013: Indicator partly recoded and custom plot added.

Initial Balance Range Bands V42 MTF 5 *
Exported using NT Version 7.0.1000.26

Indicator will only run on NT 7.0.1000.5 or later.

The indicator displays the current open, the initial balance (IB) and upper and lower range bands that are calculated by adding and subtracting fractions of the initial balance to the IB high and IB low. This version is a multi-timeframe (MTF) version of the standard Initial Balance Range Bands V42 indicator. The indicator adds a second minute bar series to the chart, which is used to calculate the initial balance. It has the following advantages over the standard version:

For tick, range and volume charts: The standard indicator may not display the initial balance correctly, if the last bar expands the initial balance and closes after the opening period. The MTF version of the indicator will display the initial balance correctly, even if the primary bar series does not contain the necessary information for its calculation. An example is shown on the chart attached.

Use with minute charts: You want to use this indicator with minute charts, if the opening period is not an integer multiple of the bar period. Example: You trade 7 min charts and your opening period is 30 minutes.

You can only use this indicator with an appropriate session template. The opening time will align itself to the start time of the RTH session, as specified via session template. The hybrid setting assumes that you want to use the 3rd intraday session as RTH session for FOREX and currency futures and the second session for all other instruments.

Example ES: Select a session template with the following sessions: Session 1 (night session) 15:30 - 8:30 Central Time, Session 2 (RTH) 8:30 - 15:15 Central Time. Select second session for opening range.

Select length of opening period: The length of the period for establishing the initial balance can be selected via indicator dialogue box. The default setting is 60 minutes.

Select Offset: With an offset of 00:00, the indicator aligns to the start of the selected session. If you enter a positive value for the offset, the opening range will be shifted forward from the session start. For example if you open a chart for ES with the session template US CME Index Futures, then the session (and the trading day) starts at 5:00 PM Central Time. To display an opening range for the regular session, you need to enter an offset of 15:30, because the regular session starts 15 hours and 30 minutes after the start of the trading day.

Multipliers for range bands: The multipliers for the upper and lower range bands can also be changed. The default settings for the bands are 0.5, 1 and 2, meaning that the first upper band is built from the IB high by adding half of the IB range, and similar for the other bands.

Display regular open or one-minute-range: The indicator allows to either display the regular open or the range of the first minute of trading after the start time selected for the opening range.

Developing range: Prior to the completion of the opening range, the indicator plots the developing range in gray to show that the range is still incomplete.

Night session or pre-session range: The indicator also has an option to display the full night session, European or Asian session range. This feature is not used with the default settings. I did not add it on purpose, it was already part of the opening range indicator, and it was easier to leave it than to remove it.

Update July 25, 2011: Serialization of the plots and indicator dialogue box changed.
Update December 8, 2013: Indicator entirely recoded. Offset added, opening period no longer needs to be aligned to the session start. Drop down property added for time zones. Custom plot added.
Update March 15, 2015: Regular open and minute range were drawn back to start of trading day on tick charts. Bug removed.

Inside_LegUp_LegDn_Candles 5 *
This study is very simple. An IO member asked me to create it for their own strategy. It is useful for visualizing acceptance/failure in price exploration. I find it most useful in 30 min and 15 min time frames. The candles will automatically color based on the close of a candle and will tell you more about price action than your order flow candles.

Order flow has a lot of information/details, but I like the way these candles visualize automatically and I don't know c## so can't create this on ninja.

Leg Up means close is above previous High
Inside means close is inside previous candle, but price explored outside previous candle
Leg Down means close is below previous Low
Base means entire current candle is inside previous candle price action
