This is not a NinjaTrader indicator but rather an Excel spreadsheet. I created it a long time ago and thought it might be useful to share.
It will help traders to let them see how they can grow their accounts over almost a one year time frame.
There are 3 sheets, Inputs, Details and Options (see the tabs at the bottom of the first page).
On the Inputs sheet there are 6 different cells with blue backgrounds for you to complete.
They are all drop-down lists that are activated by clicking the cell and then the down arrow.
Choose Contract - either ES, GC, NQ, MES or MNQ
Initial Number of Contracts to Trade - a value from 1 to 10
Net Tick Target Per Day Per Contract - a value from 1 to 100
Initial Account Size - from $3,000 to $20,000
Increase Contracts by 1 after What Increase in Account Size - from $3,000 to $20,000
Pay Yourself How Much Every Friday? from $0 to $5,000
At the bottom of the Inputs sheet you will see the initial results and below that the results after every 10 weeks.
If you click on the Details sheet you will be able to see the weekly results for almost 1 year.
Each sheet is protected. The password is charles after the late Charles Cochran from Inside Edge Trading.
This indicator displays a change in chart background color when two moving averages of your choice cross over. Or you can choose to display a shaded rectangle instead of the chart background color shading. A third option is that you can display both, the background and the rectangle shading simultaneously.
You can select an offset, by a number of bars, to start displaying after the moving averages have crossed.
There is an option to plot the moving averages selected.
The available moving averages you can select include:
EMA,
SMA,
HMA,
WMA,
DEMA,
TMA,
TEMA,
ZLEMA,
VMA
UPDATED (2021 Feb 11 - Version 1.1): Allow you to select one moving average type for the slow MA and a different moving average type for the fast MA.
UPDATED (2021 Feb 15 - Version 1.2): Added VMA to the list of available moving average types.
UPDATED (2021 Mar 11 - Version 1.3): Added KAMA & MAMA to the list of available moving average types.
Many thanks to the creator of the Congestion Box for Range Bars, jabeztrading, who posted his NT7 indie on FIO 10 years ago next month. Since that time a few traders, especially BobC, have continued to update and add functionality to the new NT8 version.
This customization:
adds selectable minimum number of bars for your CBox
adds selectable maximum tick differential between the Open and Close of your CBox bars
adds a diamond shape at double tops and double bottoms of your bars
adds a diamond shape at your choice of ticks above/below CBox to show a break up or break down to a specific level
adds selectable sound alerts (adaptation from BobC again) for
:
initial formation of your CBox
double tops and double bottoms
warning of a breakout 1 tick above or below CBox boundaries
double top and double bottom markers are done with purple and pink diamonds respectively
your break up and break down confirmation markers are done with green and blue
diamonds respectively.
Congestion boxes settings will vary from instrument to instrument. You will probably have experiment with the settings until you find what you want for your instrument. There will be some discussion at the thread above regarding how I use CBoxes in my trading.
I added bands to the EMASlope indicator. The bands are calculated from the volatility of the candles. The user sets a multiplier for the bands. In this pic the EMA is set to 34 and the multiplier is set to 1.57 (Pi/2). You can see that in the churn areas, the price stays within the channels of the bands until it breaks out.
Features:
Set the color of EMA and Bands according to slope (30 and 60 degrees in pic)
You can color the background according to the slope of the EMA (shown at 20% opacity).
The distance (ticks) from top band to bottom band is displayed on the screen.
Button on axis to hide the plots, allowing several EMA with different periods to show or not.
EMA Period and Band multiplier shown in button. Title shows EMA period with indie name.
R1: 3/10/21: Added margin label font size control to user panel per request from JC195461.
R2: 2/28/2022: I normalized Bands to accommodate fractional TickSize.

This indie looks at yesterdays High and Low and todays High and Low. It paints yesterdays High and Low on todays chart, as well as the mid and RMS values of yesterdays High and Low. The RMS values are estimated as 70.7% and 29.3% for a sine wave. It also paints todays High and Low. These values can be interesting turning points. All levels are labeled in the right side margin (I recommend a margin of 100). I posted a similar indie in NT7 called Pivots Plus that was very popular . This one does not have the pivots included, you can add that to the chart. This one does have a button to hide the indie if you want to declutter your chart.
Here is the wiki definition of RMS...
In mathematics and its applications, the root mean square (RMS or rms) is defined as the square root of the mean square (the arithmetic mean of the squares of a set of numbers).[1] The RMS is also known as the quadratic mean[2][3] and is a particular case of the generalized mean with exponent 2. RMS can also be defined for a continuously varying function in terms of an integral of the squares of the instantaneous values during a cycle.
As Sim22 said in his excellent Eds Level2 V4.4: "Speculator Ed's Level 2 indicator inspired from John Thom's jtRealStats indicator."
This customization:
adds selectable DOM bid/ask sizes to be drawn and selectable DOM bid/ask sizes for alerts
adds selectable sound files from the Sounds folder for alert warnings
adapted BobC's logic for picking those alert audio files
alerts print in the Alerts Log with DOM size and price level
cumulative depth calculation uses only chosen DOM sizes for totals (this is to the left of the bid/ask numbers)
Set Up:
Chart Properties need to be adjusted for Right margin size. 88 works very well.
Sound files need to be created in the NinjaTrader8 sounds folder if you require specific audio files.
Note: If you find bugs, have feature requests, or anything else, post in THIS thread.
This is the TrendGRaBer, ORIGINALLY created by @ Aligator. His NT7 version can be found HERE, and the NT8 version he created is on NT's EcoSystem HERE.
This indicator is based on a setup by Mrs. Raghee Horner. The credit for the setup goes to Mrs. Horner, and the indicator development to Aligator.
If interested in more information about trading this system, you can watch a webinar she posted HERE.
The indicator is simple, in that it produces 3 moving averages, based on a the High, Close and Low. These 3 MAs produce a channel. Prices that close ABOVE the channel are painted based on the bar's Open-Close relationship. Prices BELOW in a similar fashion. Closes in between the upper/lower channel a different color, also based on the individual bar's Open-Close relationship.
The indicator updates in real-time, on each tic.
The MA types available are:
EMA
SMA
HMA
WMA
DEMA
TMA
TEMA
ZLEMA
Again, this indicator is not my idea, but based on the setup by Mrs. Horner, and the indicator built by Aligator.
---EDIT - 24January2020---
This indicator was renamed to Trend GRaBer with proper citations provided.
Hello Traders...
This is another adaptation of the HMA. Big Mike built a similar indie years ago for NT7 and it was based on the EMA. I like the HMA because it hugs price better and changes direction sooner. This indie paints 2 HMAs that trail the primary HMA by x candles. This HMA can be smoothed by an EMA of 1 or greater periods. In addition you can color the background based on the slope of the HMA. As with many of my recent indicators, they only calculate what is on the screen. The indie will not show if you scroll back until you hit F5 to recalculate. There is a button on the axis to hide the indicator, so you can bring it into view, evaluate and hide it to declutter your chart. You can add a few characters to the button to differentiate from other indicator buttons.
In the pic is an HMA34, Smoothed by 2 and with the wave 3 bars back.
Trade Well
Bob
r1 (1/23/2021) Max Value for Smooth and HMAback were limited to 100, now open.
r2 (2/11/2021): I don't use Bloodhound or other automated tools, but one user found that this indie does not work with Bloodhound. I found that the problem is with the calculations limited to what is on screen... I found the issue and it is an easy fix. In the zip are two indicators. HMAwaveSmooth is the original that only calculates what is on the screen and HMAwaveSmoothFull calculates the entire history and works with Bloodhound. I will add a new version of all of the indicators that I have posted that have the calculation limiter in a similar manner.
r3 (7/8/2021): changed the description of "Smooth" in the user panel to "Smooth(EMA)" as this is actually the EMA of the HMAwave. By minimizing the HMA, the wave becomes an EMA wave. The HMA can only be set to a minimum of 2, as it is limited by the NT8 HMA function. Both the original and the "Full" version are in the zip.
final rev?: An FIO trader contacted me to add arrows to the swings. In this rev, I added the arrows and also added a filter which is another (larger) HMA. I also added Sound. The filter does not plot, so if you want to see it, you can add another HMA indie. In the pic is a GC 10R chart with the HMAwave set to Period 21 and the filter HMA set to 144. You can disable the Filter and the Sound.

We like our MA's to show us the slope. An astute trader asked if I could color the EMA different colors for different slopes. This indie will paint two colors for positive and two colors for negative depending on slope. The slope triggers are set to 30 and 60 degrees in pic, but are adjustable. label in the right margin indicates the indicator and is colored same as the indicator line.
This indie has a button to enable or disable the indie. I find this handy to have several values of the indie so I can de-clutter my chart, but still look at other values of EMA. In the pic is a 21 and a 55 EMA that can be hidden with the click of the button. You can set the column that the button shows in.
R1 July 22, 2021: A friend was using this indie with an oscillator as the input and when the oscillator max'd out at zero or 100 (no more slope) the color defaulted to the negative slope. I added code to default to the EMAflat slope if the slope goes to zero.
R2 Aug 14,2021: I found an error that colored the lines improperly when the 'Use Angle' was not selected....

February 21st, 2021 09:02 PM bobc635 Hi Natan, try making the chart full screen. The button on my display is just left of mid screen along the bottom of the
panel that you have the indie loaded on. If you continue to have problems, please message me.

March 9th, 2021 01:08 PM bobc635 Hi Larry... You can open the code using the NT editor, or a Note pad or Word or many other applications.... Double click
on the cs file and your PC should give you some options, or Open the NT editor from the Control Panel>New....

June 24th, 2021 08:48 PM perdelta Excellent work! As a huge fan of Raghee's trading style and tools I could not be happier with having found your version
of her GRaB Candles and 34 EMA Wave. Thanks!!!
May 1st, 2021 07:44 AM binonut Thanks, this fits well into my current systems and helps immensely when reading a chart quickly.
I installed this indicator on NT 8 but the DOM is displayed on the upper right corner of the chart, fat away from price.
I only see the bid side the ask side is outside of the chart area. Can anybody help ?
February 22nd, 2021 03:31 PM drinkurmilkshake I'm not able to see the DOM Bid/Ask Text nor the Cumulative Bid/Ask Depth Text. I've replicated the indicator parameter
colors and chart colors (background/text) and only see thin lines.
