SessionVWAP Weekly (amaCurrentWeekVWAP)

Version 2.0 August 11, 2017

The Current Week VWAP is the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of a security for the current week. The VWAP gives a fair reflection of the market conditions throughout the trading week and is one of the most popular benchmarks used by large traders.

The Current Week VWAP can be set to calculate for the entire trading week or it can be set to calculate for custom hours such as the regular session only. The VWAP further comes with volume-weighted standard deviation bands or quarter range bands. Although the VWAP uses volume information, it is best set to �Calculate� = �On price change�. It is not necessary to recalculate it with each incoming tick.

Trading hours template: The trading hours template should be set to <instrument settings> or any other trading hours template that reflects the contractual trading hours of the instrument.

Full_Session: The VWAP will be calculated for the full session as selected per trading hours template.

Custom_Hours: You may select custom hours for calculating the VWAP in different time zones.

Standard_Deviation: The volatility bands are calculated as a selectable multiple of the standard deviation, where the standard deviation is calculated for the selected session and week.

Quarter_Range: The volatility bands are calculated as a selectable multiple of the quarter range for the current week.

Accuracy: The indicator calculates both VWAP and volatility bands from the primary bars shown on the chart. All data points of each bar are used for the calculation in order to obtain the best possible result. However, accuracy also depends on the chart resolution. Accuracy increases as trading volume accumulates.

SessionVWAP Daily (amaCurrentDayVWAP)

Version 2.5 October 27, 2019

The Current Day VWAP is the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of a security for the current day�s trading session. The VWAP gives a fair reflection of the market conditions throughout the trading day and is probably the most popular benchmark used by large traders.

The Current Day VWAP can be set to calculate for the entire trading day or it can be set to calculate for custom hours such as the regular session only. The VWAP further comes with volume-weighted standard deviation bands or quarter range bands. Although the VWAP uses volume information, it is best set to �Calculate� = �On price change�. It is not necessary to recalculate it with each incoming tick.

Trading hours template: The trading hours template should be set to <instrument settings> or any other trading hours template that reflects the contractual trading hours of the instrument.

Full_Session: The VWAP will be calculated for the full session as selected per trading hours template.

Custom_Hours: You may select custom hours for calculating the VWAP in different time zones.

Standard_Deviation: The volatility bands are calculated as a selectable multiple of the standard deviation, where the standard deviation is calculated for the selected session.

Quarter_Range: The volatility bands are calculated as a selectable multiple of the quarter range for the current session.

Accuracy: The indicator calculates both VWAP and volatility bands from the primary bars shown on the chart. All data points of each bar are used for the calculation in order to obtain the best possible result. However, accuracy also depends on the chart resolution. Accuracy increases as trading volume accumulates. Therefore it is recommended to select an early anchor point and only use VWAP and volatility bands once they have stabilized.

Double Weighted Moving Average (amaDWMA)

Version 1.0 March 6, 2017

The Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) was first presented by Patrick Mulloy in "Stocks & Commodities" in 1994. It attempts to offer a smoothed average with less lag than a straight exponential moving average.

The Double Weighted Moving Average (DWMA) replicates the DEMA formula, applying it to the WMA (weighted moving average) instead of the EMA.

Exponential Hull Moving Average (amaEHMA)

Version 1.1 July 30, 2017

The Hull Moving Average (HMA) was developed by Alan Hull and is mainly used to identify the current market trend. The HMA is composed of three weighted moving averages (WMA).

The Exponential Hull Moving Average (EHMA) has those weighted moving averages replaced with exponential moving averages.

The Exponential Hull Moving Average exhibits an excellent balance between smoothing and lag (also see "Moving Averages for Financial Data Smoothing" by Aistys Raudys, Edmundas Malčius, and Vaidotas Lenčiauskas � Vilnius University, Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics)

Relative Ranges (amaRelativeRanges)

Version 1.1 July 21, 2017

Only to be used with minute or daily charts.

The Relative Ranges indicator measures the range of a minute bar or a daily bar against the average range for the same time of the day over the preceding n days. The indicator comes with two different options to calculate the relative range:

All_Days: Today's ranges are compared to the average ranges of the N preceding business days. The default value is N = 40. With the setting "All_Days" the indicator requires the use of proper trading hours templates which match the trading day of the instrument traded. Trading hours templates that cut the week into arbitrary sessions - such as the session template 24/7 - cannot be handled by the indicator and will trigger an error message.

Day_Of_Week: Today's ranges are compared to the average range calculated for the same day of the week over the N preceeding weeks. The default value is N = 8. With the setting "Day_Of_Week", all session templates can be handled.

Relative Ranges: The relative ranges are shown as a percentage of the average volume calculated over the reference period.

Cumulated ratio: Compares the cumulated ranges of the current day to the average ranges of the selected reference period.

Holidays: Holidays as selected via the indicator dialogue box may be excluded from all calculations.

Default settings: Relative range bars between 80% and 120% of the normal range are shown as white bars. Higher relative range bars are shown as blue bars, lower relative range bars are shown as red bars.

Relative Volume (amaRelativeVolume)

Version 1.1 July 21, 2017

Cumulated ratio: Compares the cumulated volume of the current day to the average cumulated volume of the selected reference period.

Holidays: Holidays as selected via the indicator dialogue box may be excluded from all calculations.

Default settings: Relative volume bars between 80% and 120% of the normal volume are shown as white bars. Higher relative volume bars are shown as blue bars, lower relative volume bars are shown as red bars.

True Strength Index (TSI)

Exported using NT Version 7.0.1000.30

The True Strength Index was developed by William Blau and published in his book "Momentum, Direction and Divergence". This version of the TSI is an enhanced version of the NinjaTrader default indicator. It comes with the following improvements:

Momentum period: The original version of the indicator uses the price difference between the current and the prior close, which is the 1-period momentum. The updated version of the indicator also allows for selecting a momentum period greater than 1.

Triple Smoothing: The standard version of the indicator comes with double smoothing for momentum and absolute momentum. William Blau himself also used triple smoothing, This indicator lets you choose between double and triple smoothing. If you set the third smoothing period to 1, you will get double smoothing, and the indicator will display identical results with the NinjaTrader default indicator.

Smoothing with different moving averages: William Blau has suggested to use the EMA for double or triple smoothing. This indicator offers you a selection of more than 30 different moving averages for the smoothing. The default is set to EMA in line with the original indicator.

Signal Line: I have added a signal line for timing entries and exits. The signal line is obtained by smoothing the TSI with one of the selectable moving averages, similar to the signal line of the MACD. The default period for the signal line is 7.

Histogram: The indicator has an option to plot a histogram, which shows the difference between TSI and signal line.

Trend definition: The indicator exposes the current trend via an IntSeries. The trend can be determined based on the TSI (rising & not oversold, falling & not overbought, neutral), the signal line (rising & not oversold, falling & not overbought, neutral)) or the TSI / signal line crosses. All trend definitions are not straightforward, but require a higher close to switch to an uptrend, or a lower close to switch to a downtrend. Moreover the DSM / signal line cross will only show an uptrend, when not oversold and a downtrend when not overbought.

Paint bars: The paintbars can be used to plot the trend information. The trend states are uptrend, downtrend and neutral trend as explained above. It is possible to apply the indicator to the price panel and unselect the indicator plots. This allows to use the indicator as a "paintbar only" indicator.

Sound alerts: The indicator comes with sound alerts which are triggered when the trend changes. The sound files are included with the zip file and should be manually copied into the directory Documents -> program files (x86) -> NinajTrader 7 -> sounds.

Update March 13, 2014: Trend filter, paint bars, sound alerts and histogram added.
Update November 16, 2015: Momentum period added. Option added to select from different moving averages.

Note: The parameter structure of the indicator was changed. In case that you have used the prior version of the anaTSI as input series for other indicators or strategies, these indicators or strategies will only work, if you change the syntax of the indicator call to conform with the new parameter structure.

Chande Kroll Stop

Exported using NT Version 7.0.1000.30

This is an implementation of the volatiliy based stop that was suggested by Tushar Chande and Stanley Kroll in their book "The New Technical Trader". The indicator comes with a long stop line (blue) and and a short stop line (red).

Calculation of long stop: The preliminary long stop is calculated by deducting a multiple of a 10-period ATR from the highest high of the last 10 bars. The long stop is then calculated as the highest of the last 20 preliminary long stops.

Calculation of short stop: The preliminary short stops are calculated by adding a ,ultiple of a 10-period ATR to the lowest low of the last 10 bars. The short stop is then calculated as the lowest of the last 20 perliminary short stops.

Calculation of ATR: The ATR can be calculated in three different ways. "Arithmetic" uses a simple moving average over the last 10 true ranges. "Exponential" uses an exponential moving average over the last 10 true ranges, while "Wilder" simply calculates the default ATR(10) which is calculated as exponential moving averages with a smaller smoothing constant.

Default settings: Default settings follow suggestions by Chande & Kroll. Following suggestions in their book the default parameters are 10, 3 and 20. Also they used a simple moving average for smoothing the true ranges. The only change that was necessary was to adapt the indicator so that it can be used intra-bar. For this purpose, the calculation does not use the (unstable) true range of the current bar nor the high of the current bar, but relies on the values for the prior bar. Just for the purpose to compare the indicator with implementations for other charting packages, it is also possible to perform calculations from the current unstable bar. When used with "COBC = False" or with the strategy analyzer (backtesting), the default settings should be used.

It is recommended to use the

Donchian Channel with Trendfilter

Exported using NT version 7.0.1000.27

This is a generalized version of the Donchian Channel with a few options added:

- The Donchian Channel lines can be calculated from High/Low, Close, Typical or Weighted price. With the default option High/Low they will be calculated from the highest high and lowest low over the lookback period. With the other options the highest and lowest of the selected input series are used, which produces narrow channels.

- The indicator has an option to display outer channels, inner channes or midband individually.

- The indicator comes with a fast and a slow trend filter. The fast trendfilter changes direction, when the midband breaches the prior low of the upper band (trend change up) or when it breaches the prior high of the lower band (trend change down, as shown in the chart attached). The slow trendfilter changes direction, when the lower band breaches the prior low of the upper band (trend change up) or when the upper brand breaches the prior high of the lower band (trend change down, as shown in the chart attached.

- The indicator allows to display the fast trend, the slow trend or a combination of fast and slow trend, when appropriate colors are selected. If you want to show the fast trend only, you need to use identical colors for fast/slow uptrend and fast/slow downtrend. If you want to show the slow trend only, you would need to use the same colors for slow uptrend/fast downtrend and fast uptrend/slow downtrend. Both trendseries are exposed as public BoolSeries and can be called in an automated strategy.

- The trend can be displayed via the channel and midband colors or via paint bars. The indicator also has an option to display the channels or the midband individually. If you just need the paint bars, you can disable all plots.

Update October 4, 2012: Channel and paintbar colors will now align, when indicator is displaced.
Update July 5, 2015: Second channel added to indicator.
