-Import the attached NinjaScript zip files using File, Utilities, Import NinjaScript... (do not unzip)
-Put the two .xml template files in your \NinjaTrader 6.5\templates\Chart folder
-Click on File, New, Chart... , select your instrument, days back, and preferred range bar size for the Trade chart, and choose the UnViper Trade template.
Repeat for the Trend chart, choosing the UnViper Trend template.
The default Trade chart range bar for ES is 5.
The default Trend chart range bar for ES is 7.
Range bar size will vary for other instruments, but the general rule is the Trend chart uses a range about 1.5 times the Trade chart.
Cautions: Both the Viper and UnViper will repaint the LinReg colors two segments back so it makes reviewing could-have trades inaccurate. And you'll find you need trading skills apart from their indicators (or the attached) to be profitable.

The following 8 users say Thank You to tomgilb for this post:
If the instrument is more volatile, the range bars need to be commensurately larger. On the TF, they use 8 on the Trade chart and 12 on the Trend chart. Same for NQ, I think, but sometimes they use 12/16.
They have no hard rule on range bar size. Their defaults are from their experience but experiment with what seems to work for your style. I liked a 3/5 for scalping the ES.
