I have written many strategies and finally came up with a decent, imo, engine for testing rulesets. This engine incorporates 3 Session Start and End times for evaluating different timeperiods, 4 different targets and a runner (each can be selected separately or together), initial stop, move to breakeven, and trailing stop. Each of these parameters can be enabled or disabled. I am providing this code for Elite members only. So please don't share this with others without getting my permission.
To use, connect to your datafeed, and put this strategy on a chart. You don't have to use strategy analyzer. However, it works in strategy analyzer as well. You will notice a PNL summary in the lower left of the chart which makes it nice for quick analysis of rulesets without having to use the strategy analyzer.
Please contact me via private message if you have questions as opposed to leaving a comment here. I won't get the comments.
The only thing I ask is that you share your profitable rules with me if you use my code. Additionally, I'm willing to work with anyone who has a system they are currently trading successfully.
Good luck,
Mike Winfrey
Version 2 is now a bit more functional that version 1. I found several things that were less than desirable and hope I've fixed them.
This version allows for:
1. selection of either long, short, or both entries.
2. stop and reverse (this is not an option provided by a parameter. it automatically reverses postion if an opposite signal appears.
3. Fixed miscellaneous other issues that I won't detail.

This is based on the Zscore Indicator submitted by MXAS, located in this section. This variation is a colored histogram reflecting overbought, oversold and above/below zero. The price input is enabled, the default is Weighted. When weighted a lot of the chop is eliminated and is very similar to the CCI with the variable factor set to .0125 instead of .015. One of the problems I have with the CCI is it's tendency to exit a trend too early. The ZcoreHistogram does a much better job of keeping me in the trend.
This was exported with NT v7.
I am not a programmer, use at your own discretion.
See preceding post by Cory, who deserves the credit for this.
Somehow I managed to find the time in my busy schedule to make sure that this would work in NT7. However, I don't have any idea how to use it! Perhaps those who have success can post their experiences with this in a thread.
9/2 - Added Color parameters for buy and sell signal bars, and also for non-signal bars. Added a setting whether or not to paint non-signal bars a certain color. 9/6 - Updated the non-trending bars, up bars are hollow, down bars are filled
BetterBrick chart style to display BetterRenko charts with classic Renko bricks.
Just import into NT, and restart NT. You should then have a "BetterBrick" type available in the chart styles in the data series window. BetterRenko bars can use any type of chart style, but this style shows the bar with Renko bricks in addition to the wick data and the correct open value for the bar.
NT 6.5: NO
NT 7.0: Yes
V2 changes the way the "live" bar is drawn. It now draws the live bar as an OHLC bar until it closes.
December 30th, 2010 02:29 AM Mojokix So I have been using this MACD/Bollinger/CollectiveMA signals indicator and I really like it! I have been trading he EU
RUSD and EURJPY daily for almost 2 years now and I have noticed a pattern that this indicator picks up every time. Betwe
en the major market session Japan/London/ New York there tends to be a period of consolidation and then a Break Out just
before the openings! I am using it on a 10 or 15 min candle chart NT 6.5 and this indicator is usually accurate in dete
rmining which way it will break.
I would love to turn it in to a strategy but I am still struggling with learning how to make that work.
Thanks for posting it!
September 17th, 2010 05:14 PM stibflo I have tested it with NT 7 beta 21. Did not work. Just painted everey bar grey,
