Hourly Pivots (amaPivotsHourly)

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

MACDBBLines (amaMACDBBLines)

Version 1.3 October 30, 2018

The MACDBBLines indicator is built from a standard MACD indicator with Bollinger Bands added to the signal line. The MACD values are shown as dots. This indicator is typically used to generate with-trend entries when the upper or lower Bollinger Band is violated.

Minor trend: The minorlower timeframe trend is up when the MACD is rising. It is down when the MACD is falling.

Major trend: The higher timeframe trend may be taken from the MACD itself. An major uptrend is signaled when MACD > 0, while MACD < 0 stands for a major downtrend.

Public Properties: The indicator comes with a few public Series<double> that can be accessed via other indicators or automated strategies. These will also be shown in the strategy builder. The series "Trend" may be used to detect the minor trend. "Trend" will show the value +2 when the MACD is rising and above the upper Bollinger Band, +1 when it is rising and below the upper Bollinger Band, -1 when it is falling and above the lower Bollinger Band, -2 when it is falling and below the lower Bollinger Band. You will further find two Series<double> "LongSignal" and "ShortSignal". "LongSignal" will return +2 for an upper band violation in a major uptrend (strong signal), +1 for an upper band violation in a major downtrend (weak signal) and 0 for no signal. Accordingly, "ShortSignal" will return +2 for a lower band violation in a major downtrend (strong signal), +1 for an lower band violation in a major uptrend (weak signal) and 0 for no signal.

Market Analyzer Column: The indicator comes with two separate market analyzer columns. The first column will simply indicate the trend and return values based on rising and falling MACD above or below the Bollinger Bands as described above. The second column will return entry signals, where +2 stand for a strong long signal, + 1 for a weak long signal, 0, for no signal, -1 for a weak short signal and - 2 for a strong short signal. For the market analyzer I have squeezed long and short signals into a single column, as there is little space on a market analyzer. For the Series<double> objects, I have separated the LongSignal and ShortSignal series, as they are designed to return positive values or 0 for no signal only. Please pay attention to the difference.

Paint Bars: The indicator comes with paint bars that reflect the minor trend. The colors are similar to the colors for the MACDBB dots, but you may differentiate between upcloses and downcloses.

Sound Alerts: The indicator comes with sound alerts that will be triggered when the upper or lower band is violated, or when the major trend changes.

Better Volume (amaBetterVolume)

Version 1.1 September 12, 2018

This indicator is based on the original version of the Better Volume Indicator from https://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.

Update version 1.3:: Holiday calendar updated for Relative Volume indicator, sound alerts now working on inactive charts.

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.

Multiple Moving Average Crosses (amaMultiMACross)

Version 2.2 March 8, 2020

The Multiple MA Cross indicator plots a fast and a slow moving average and colors the area between the two moving averages. Both the fast and the slow moving average may be selected from a collection of over 30 different moving averages.

The indicator is primarily designed as a trend filter to show whether the market is in an uptrend or in a downtrend. The indicator comes with two different trend definitions - cross and thrust. The trend is exposed as a double series and can be accessed via the NinjaTrader strategy builder or the market analyzer. Directly accessing the trend via the market analyzer requires a separately coded market analyzer column, which is not yet included with the install file.

Trend definition "MA Cross": The current trend changes to "uptrend" when the fast moving average crosses the slow moving average from below. The current trend changes to "downtrend" when the fast moving average crosses the slow moving average from above.

Trend definition "Thrust": The current trend changes from �downtrend� to �uptrend� with the first bullish thrust bar that plots above the upper moving average. A bullish thrust bar is a bar that closes above the prior bar�s high and has a larger range than the prior bar. The current trend changes from �uptrend� to �downtrend� with the first bearish thrust bar that plots below the lower moving average. A bearish thrust bar is a bar that closes below the prior bar�s low and has a larger range than the prior bar.

Moving averages available as fast and slow moving average:

- Adaptive Laguerre Filter
- ADXVMA
- Butterworth Filter
- DEMA
- Distant Coefficient Filter
- Double Weighted Moving Average (DWMA)
- Exponential Hull Moving Average (EHMA)
- EMA

- TEMA
- Tillson T3
- TMA
- Triple Weighted Moving Average (TWMA)
- VWMA
- Wilder's Average
- WMA
- ZerolagHATEMA
- ZerolagTEMA
- ZLEMA

Applying the Multi MA Cross to indicators: The Multi MA Cross is designed to be applied to other indicators which may be selected as input series. However, some of the moving averages listed above will not support this feature. In case that a selected moving average does not support the feature the indicator will display an error message asking you to select a different moving average for the fast or the slow moving average. These are the moving averages that may not be selected when an indicator is chosen as input series: Mean TPO, Mean VWTPO, Median TPO, Median VWTPO, RWMA, VWMA, ZerolagHATEMA. These moving averages may only be applied to price.

Paint Bars: The MultipleMA Cross indicator comes with paint bars. The paint bars are colored according to the trend, where the trend maybe determined via the "MA Cross" or the "Thrust" option. The paint bars may be displayed without the indicator plots.

Multiple Keltner Channels (amaMultiKeltner)

Version 1.6 November 25, 2017

The Multiple Keltner Channels are a generalized version of the Keltner Channels.

Standard Keltner channels are built from a simple moving average (SMA) and two channels lines above and below. The two lines above and below are drawn at a distance from the center line, a distance which is a multiple of the simple moving average of the ranges of the past N bars.

The generalized concept has the SMA replaced with any of 30 moving averages. The volatility measure used to calculate the distance of upper and lower line from the center line can be derived from an average range (AR) or average true range (ATR). You may select different lookback periods for the moving average that serves as the center line and the moving average which is applied to the range or true range.

The Multiple Keltner Channels come with an additional smoothing option for center line and channel lines. The additional smoothing is obtained by further smoothing all plots with a 3-period simple moving average (SMA).

Moving averages available for calculating the center line:

- Adaptive Laguerre Filter
- ADXVMA
- Butterworth Filter
- DEMA
- Distant Coefficient Filter
- Double Weighted Moving Average (DWMA)
- Exponential Hull Moving Average (EHMA)
- EMA
- Gaussian Filter
- HMA
- Holt EMA
- Laguerre Filter
- LinReg
- Moving Mean TPO
- Moving Median
- Moving Median TPO
- Range Weighted Moving Average (RWMA)
- Sine Weighted Moving Average (SWMA)
- SMA
- SuperSmoother
- TEMA
- Tillson T3
- TMA
- Triple Weighted Moving Average (TWMA)
- Wilder's Average
- WMA
- ZerolagHATEMA
- ZerolagTEMA
- ZLEMA

Moving averages colored according to slope: You may also use this indicator to display any of the above listed moving averages and color them according to slope. The slope is not based on a geometrical concept, as this would not be compatible with the scalability of modern charting applications. The indicator adjusts slope to bar volatility such that the indicator may be used across all instruments and bar types with the same settings. The slope is shown as upsloping, downsloping or flat. The degree of flatness which is still considered as being flat may be adjusted via the neutral threshold parameter. When you set that parameter to zero, the slope will not show any flat sections, but the moving average will always be identified as upsloping or downsloping. Channel lines may be unselected, if you just wish to display the selected moving average.

Volatility measures: The standard Keltner channel uses the range. This indicator also for substituting the range with the average true range. The average true range is used as default option to facilitate the application of the Multiple Keltner Channels to other indicators.

Applying the Multiple Keltner Channels to indicators: When an indicator is used as input series, the range will always return the value 0. However, the average true range will return the absolute amount of the difference of two neighbouring data points of the selected input series. Therefore the indicator may only be applied to other indicators, as long as the offset formula is set to "True_Range".

Paint Bars: The Multiple Keltner Channel indicator comes with paint bars. The paint bars are colored according to the slope of the center line. The paint bars may be displayed without the indicator plots. The colors of the paint bar will then show the slope of the moving average selected as center line.

Sound Alerts: In case that the sound alerts are active, the indicator will alert you when the trend derived from the slope of the center line changes. Currently, there are no sound files included with the zip file, but it is easy to create them and copy them to the NinjaTrader sounds directory.

Session Pivots Monthly (amaPivotsMonthly)

Version 2.6 July 4, 2018

The Session Pivots Monthly is an enhanced pivots indicator which allows for displaying floor pivots, wide pivots, Jackson Zones and Fibonacci pivots.

All pivots are calculated from daily bars (default setting) or from the bar series that has been selected as input series. The indicator may be used to display ETH pivots on an full session chart or RTH pivots on a regular session chart. It is not designed to display RTH pivots on a full session chart. When pivots are calculated from daily bars, they are typically calculated from the full session high, the full session low and the settlement price. However, the daily data depends on the data supplier and reflects the daily high, low and close as shown on a daily chart.

Pivot range: The indicator is set to display the pivot range which is the range between CP and DP. The pivot range is a symmetrical range around the main pivot PP. A wide pivot range follows after a trending month with a close near the highs or the lows. A narrow pivot range indicates that the prior month was a balancing month and closed near the central pivot.

Prior month high, low and close: The indicator also displays the high, low and close for the prior trading month. These levels often act as support or resistance during the current trading month. Moreover, prior month high, low and close reflect the input data for calculating all pivot values and can be visually checked against the chart bars, while this is not possible for the pivots themselves.

Pivot formulas:

All options: H = prior month high, L = prior month low, C = prior month 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
Jackson Zones: R1 = P + 0.5*X, S1 = P - 0.5*X, RB1 = P + 0.618*X, SB1 = P - 0.618*X, R2 = P + X, S2 = P - X, RB2 = P + 1.382*X, SB2 = P - 1.382*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

Update version 2.6.: Enhanced CPU efficiency. Minor changes.

A wide pivot range follows after a trending week with a close near the highs or the lows. A narrow pivot range indicates that the prior week was a balancing week and closed near the central pivot.

Prior week high, low and close: The indicator also displays the high, low and close for the prior trading week. These levels often act as support or resistance during the current trading week. Moreover, prior week high, low and close reflect the input data for calculating all pivot values and can be visually checked against the chart bars, while this is not possible for the pivots themselves.

Pivot formulas:

All options: H = prior week high, L = prior week low, C = prior week close, X = H - L
Main Pivot: P = (H+L+C)/3

Session Pivots Daily (amaPivotsDaily)

Version 2.6 July 4, 2018

The Session Pivots Daily is an enhanced pivots indicator which allows for displaying floor pivots, wide pivots, Jackson Zones and Fibonacci pivots.

All pivots are calculated from daily bars (default setting) or from the bar series that has been selected as input series. The indicator may be used to display ETH pivots on an full session chart or RTH pivots on a regular session chart. It is not designed to display RTH pivots on a full session chart. When pivots are calculated from daily bars, they are typically calculated from the full session high, the full session low and the settlement price. However, the daily data only depends on the data supplier and will reflect the high, low and close as shown on a daily chart.

Workaround for displaying RTH pivots on a full session chart:

- Add a secondary bar series to your primary price panel with a RTH trading hours template.
- Set the colors for candle outlines, candle wicks, up and down bars to transparent.
- Apply the amaPivotsDaily indicator to the secondary bar series.

The indicator will now display RTH pivots on a full session chart. However, the pivots will only be displayed after the start of the regular session.

Pivot range: The indicator is set to display the pivot range which is the range between CP and DP. The pivot range is a symmetrical range around the main pivot PP. A wide pivot range follows after a trending day with a close near the highs or the lows. A narrow pivot range indicates that the prior day was a balancing day and closed near the central pivot.

Prior day high, low and close: The indicator also displays the high, low and close for the prior trading day. These levels often act as support or resistance during the current trading day. Moreover, prior day high, low and close reflect the input data for calculating all pivot values and can be visually checked against the chart bars, while this is not possible for the pivots themselves.

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
Jackson Zones: R1 = P + 0.5*X, S1 = P - 0.5*X, RB1 = P + 0.618*X, SB1 = P - 0.618*X, R2 = P + X, S2 = P - X, RB2 = P + 1.382*X, SB2 = P - 1.382*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

CME holidays: There are six holiday sessions every year which are integrated with the following trading day. These holidays are Martin Luther King Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day and Thanksgiving. The holiday sessions do not qualify as trade dates and there is no settlement. For this reason quality data feeds will not show daily bars. When "Input Data" is set to "DailyBars", the amaPivotsDaily will correctly calculate the pivots for both the holiday sessions and the trading day that follows the holiday. The NinjaTrader in-built pivots indicator will produce false values on the days after the holiday session. When "Input Data" is set to "Full Session", both indicators will calculate false values for the day after the holiday session.

Comparison to pivot indicators coded for NinjaTrader 7: For NinjaTrader 7 I had used subdivided session templates for calculating RTH pivots on full session charts. This approach was too complicated and mainly confused users. Subdivided session templates also truncate all bars at the session begin and the session end, which in turn distorts other indicators such as moving averages or oscillators. Therefore all our NT8 indicators are now compatible with the default trading hours template <instrument settings>. However, the new approach makes the task of coding RTH pivots for full session charts more complex. Such an indicator needs to add a third bar series with minute data and also come with a small data base containing the regular trading hours and holidays for the most liquid futures contracts. This can no longer be provided free of charge.

On the other hand the pivot indicators for NinjaTrader 8 have become more reliable. Preloading of daily data is no longer necessary, as the pivots indicator will load daily data automatically, when applied to a chart. This makes the pivots easier to use and less error prone.

Update version 2.1.: Bug removed. Indicator did not display pivots calculated from daily data, when the first day of the lookback period of the chart was a trading day without daily settlement (see six holiday sessions listed above).
Update version 2.6.: Enhanced CPU efficiency. Minor changes.

Range Weighted Moving Average (amaRWMA)

Version 1.0 March 12, 2017

The Range Weighted Moving Average (RWMA) is weighted moving average which uses the square of the range of the bar as weighting factor. The exact formula for the weighting factor has the bar range replaced with the number of tick levels covered by the bar.

Volatility is driven by volume and is approximately proportional to the square root of volume. Therefore it is possible to use the squared range as a proxy for volume. This is interesting when genuine volume figures are not available. This would be the case

- for FOREX data that comes without historical backfill for volume
- for instruments that are driven by other markets outside of the regular session

In these cases the VWMA may be distorted, whereas the RWMA will still return proper results.

Opening Range (amaOpeningRange)

Version 2.2 January 31, 2018

The Opening Range is the range obtained from the highest and lowest price of a security during the first minutes of daily trading activity. For example the opening range can be calculated from the first 5, 15 or 30 minutes.

The opening period can be selected via the time zone, the start time and the end time of the opening period. For example if you wish to display a 30-minute opening range for ES, you would select Exchange_Time or US_Central_Standard_Time, a start time of 8:30 AM and an end time of 9:00 AM. The indicator will then display the regular open and the opening range high, low and midline.

You may also use this indicator to display the pre-session range. It is possible to display the entire pre-session range that covers the period from the start of the trading day until the regular open, or you may select a custom period for the pre-session.

The indicator will only return an accurate opening range, if it is calculated from minute bars that align to the start time and end time of the selected opening period. For example, if you wish to display an accurate 30-minute opening range for ES, you may only apply the indicator to 1-min, 2-min, 3-min, 5-min, 10-min, 15-min or 30-min bars. When selecting other bar periods or bar types, there will be overlapping bars in the beginning and the end of the opening period. This may result in a slightly inaccurate opening range.

If you wish to display a correct opening range on any bar type, please proceed as follows:

- Add a secondary bar series of 1-min*) bar to your primary price panel.
- Set the colors for candle outllines, candle wicks, up and down bars to transparent.
- Apply the indicator to the secondary 1-minute bars for an exact calculation.

*) When you add a minute bar series to a tick or volume chart, this will slightly distort the chart, as the bar spacing is adjusted to the duration of the bars. As a consequence of the law of large numbers, the distortion will be smaller, if you add a secondary bar series with a lower resolution. It is therefore recommended to use the highest bar period available that aligns to the start time and end time of the opening period. For a 30-min opening period for ES, you may therefore add 30-min bars instead of 1-min bars.

The chart attached shows the 30-min opening range on a 1000-tick chart to ES 12-17. The invisible secondary bars that were added are 30-min bars.

Update January 31, 2018: Version 2.1 did not properly calculate the opening range when the first bar of the opening range had a time stamp greater than the end time of the opening period (display of short period opening ranges on higher timeframe charts). Version 2.2 has the bug removed.
