You are likely to have better luck posting in the "Want your NT indicator created free" thread:

Want your NinjaTrader indicator created, free?

Hey guys, I thought many of you would enjoy and benefit from this thread. My intention is to have each poster reply and describe in as much detail as possible an indicator they want created for NinjaTrader.

The programmers on the forum (there are many), …

But you need to include at least a couple charts, so people can reference them.

I had a quick look at the formula and then produced a first version for NinjaTrader.

The chart is shown below.

Could you please compare it to a MetaTrader chart in order to confirm that it looks right?

If it is correct, I will finish the indicator and publish it in the downloads.

The Chandelier Stop is based on a similar concept.

However, it does not require a lookback period for determining the highest high and lowest low, as it uses the highest high since the last trend change.

The chart below shows a comparison between the Chande-Kroll Stop and the Chandelier Stop (which was used by systems trader Charles LeBeau and has nothing to do with Tushar Chande).

If you found it, was the ATR calculation based on a SMA of the true range (as Chande & Kroll) or was it based on an exponential moving average (classic or Wilder)?

I've used in the past ProRealTime. In that program are the Chande Kroll Stop indicator.

I can not give 100% certainty answer your question. What I do know is that the lines of this Chande Kroll Stop sometimes suddenly comes to lie above or below the rates. This is often a signal for a trend change. I have often thought that this indicator ProRealTime volume was related.

You can take a free subscription (day close dates) on ProRealTime to see the version of this Chande Kroll Stop.

I will send you a screenshot of it (Prorealtime)

Send you later.
