This forum was established to help traders (especially futures traders) by openly sharing indicators, strategies, methods, trading journals and discussing the psychology of trading.
We are fundamentally different than most other trading forums:
We work extremely hard to keep things positive on our forums.
We do not tolerate rude behavior, trolling, or vendor advertising in posts.
We firmly believe in openness and encourage sharing. The holy grail is within you, it is not something tangible you can download.
We expect our members to participate and become a part of the community. Help yourself by helping others.
You'll need to register in order to view the content of the threads and start contributing to our community. It's free and simple, and we will never resell your private information.
I use Bloodhound and like it. I can write in easy language and ninja script. I use Bloodhound in initial testing and flushing out Ideas. The graphical interface make it a lot faster to see what elements of my strategy are strongest.

Since my coding skills are quite limited, the BloodHound Software in fact helps me a lot.
It supports me by creating even quite complex strategies in a few minutes without the need to write a single line of code.
These strategies can be tested on the fly and in real time, so I can see the results of any change immediately on my charts.
I recently purchased a license of the Ultimate Edition (there has been an NT webinar discount available), and IMO the price is quite reasonable compared to the equivalent you get with the package.
Now I'm still in the process of learning about all the features and methods the software provides...

When starting learning it i quickly got stuck finding the inputs of custom indicators as the thresholds and outputs of some custom indicators seem to need trial and erroring for use in bloodhound (if there were any usable outputs at all).
The idea to plug together a strategy in NT7 with no programming skills is still great.
Yep, I second that. There's a lot of trial and error included while working with custom indicators, but it doesn't take a lot of time to develop a solid understanding how to use the interface and how plots and values of any indicator have to be interpreted to get at least a basic result.

Well, maybe some sort of "Working / Problem Thread" for BloodHound users sounds like a pretty good idea.
And as far as I know you can only determine in a solver if a candle closes above or below any given MA...but perhaps we can try to have a closer look on your problem in another thread where SI could give some input as well.

Due to time constraints, please do not PM me if your question can be resolved or answered on the forum.
Need help? 1) Stop changing things. No new indicators, charts, or methods. Be consistent with what is in front of you first. 2) Start a journal and post to it daily with the trades you made to show your strengths and weaknesses. 3) Set goals for yourself to reach daily. Make them about how you trade, not how much money you make. 4) Accept responsibility for your actions. Stop looking elsewhere to explain away poor performance. 5) Where to start as a trader? Watch this webinar and read this thread for hundreds of questions and answers. 6) Help using the forum? Watch this video to learn general tips on using the site.
