I tried using an indicator that was built to plot multi-period candles but I found it was resource "heavy".
Additionally the indicator had some issues when used on different Trading Hour Templates.
The result was to modify the "Box" Chart Style that was built into NT-8 to plot a Candlestick.
The default color choices were based on my preferences for Black background charts,
You will need to decide on your own preferences and then save them as a default on your platform.
Special thanks are due to @TWDsje (aka SpeculatorSeth) for his coding expertise in completing this task.

Chart Time indicator to find Lag in seconds and milliseconds
It will display three things in the upper right corner of the chart:
• The core time of NT8
• The chart time of NT8
• The difference of the two times (if the Chart time is behind the core time, it will be a negative number).
EXAMPLE
Here is an example of what you will see in the upper right corner of your chart when you load the indicator on your chart:
12:29:28:529 12:29:28:257 -00.272
USE
I watch this indicator near the start and end of the regular session when my charts will typically lag the market. While trading these times or any other high volume times, when I see a chart lag, I then use the DOM to ensure I see the fastest pricing information that NT8 offers (that I have found).
I didn't build the indicator, just found it on ninjatrader forum (it seems to me that more people are having problems with the lagging of ninjatrader)
This is a fork from Lizard's amaATR's 1.1 version and when installed will also be put into the Lizard folder as "atrTick". Essentially, I created this because ATR is such an important concept and the way the current indicators are built is to give a value based on points. This makes "at a glance" analysis hard because you need to do some arithmetic.
This indicator will display the ATR in either ticks or dollars and will make your chart or Market Analyzer cleaner as comparisons between different instruments makes more sense. In the 15M screenshot provided, it looks like /YM moves the most on the default ATR, but because of it's point value it actually moves less than the /ES and /NQ in terms of dollar value. Another great example is /ZB. It doesn't move many ticks, but it's dollar amount is comparable to the /ES
V 1.1
Fixed the archive and a rounding error for the dollar value, so you should get the exact dollar amount relative to ticks.
This indicator takes two moving averages, calculates their RSI (Relative Strength Index) and then also adds a moving average of the calculated RSI. These two lines now can accurately signal the trend changes. They are shown in the separate window where they change from 0 to 100. Additional histogram indicator is shown for quick reference below the lines.
On the picture the bold blue line is RSI of the moving averages, the thin violet line is its moving average. RSI above MA and RSI above level 50 is a signal of a bullish trend. RSI below MA and RSI below level 50 is a signal of a bearish trend. One can also buy when the RSI breaks level 20 from below and sell when RSI breaks level 80 from above, but those are weaker signals. Histogram provides quick reference. Green lines signal BUY, red signal SELL, magenta mean overbought, blue mean oversold.

Hello again folks,
I created a version of the SOAP(Served On A Platter) indicator from think or swim. It is similar to the Custom TDI I submitted several weeks ago and similar rules apply. It's a layering of stochastics and I included a layered stochastic RSI for a little more information that allows for precision entries/exits. As with the TDI, you'll have to import the indicator settings into your charts. Happy Trading!
Hey guys, I've discovered a custom TDI that can be created without coding. All the indicators are available if you have NT8. Instructions are as follows:
Double stochastics 10 period; Scale justification - right
SUM 3 period; Input series - RSI period 13; Scale justification - overlay
SUM 18 period; Input series - RSI period 13; Scale justification - left
Bollinger; Input series - RSI period 13; Scale justification - right; Period 34, Standard deviations - 2 (Set upper and lower band to transparent to hide or you can leave them if you prefer)
* Best trade set ups for longs is when the 2 SUMs are above or crossing the middle Bollinger band and double stochastic is oversold. The reverse is true for shorts. You can also trade it when fast SUM crosses slow SUM just like other oscillators. It's useful to have it on different time frames and you can adjust the period setting to fit your trading needs. Play around with it and let me know how it works for you!
*The Download is a copy of my indicator template that you'll have to import into your charts or you can follow the instructions to create it yourself.

December 5th, 2025 12:48 PM Trailer Guy Thanks- My modified PATS system uses 21nATR in ticks for the ATM strategy. You are right, doing the math is a bit tediou
s, especially on fast charts.

February 20th, 2022 10:31 PM Blessedprofits Thank you very much for sharing the indicators.
Where can I find all the lizard indicators, especially the VWAP for NT8.

March 13th, 2020 03:28 PM Koepisch Hi there @hobbys11, @trepidation,
i can't get it, what the "core time of NT8" really is. What has it to do with the dom and why the chart time has a negat
iv offset. If the chart lags i expect the chart time is the DOM time + x ms, isn't it?
Has it anything to to with the "data feed lag" calculation. Initially i looked for an indicator which compares the datet
ime of the incoming tick with the local computer time, to evaluate data feed / internet routing latency. I'm afraid, tha
t this has nochting to do with this indicator.
March 7th, 2020 06:47 PM trepidation Try installing the TickRefresh indicator to see if that fixes the problem. I know the chart doesn't refresh as quickly a
s the DOM and the TickRefresh indicator solves this issue at the expense of processing power in my experience.
