What it does: This is an overlay indicator that takes the Logarithm of the TICK, TICKQ and TICKDJ, applying a weight and then taking the average of the 3 to plot a single line. The range is determined by the weight you choose to give each tick index. See the discussion thread for ideas on best weights, expiramenting is highly encouranged,
Setup: The data source and its usefulness depends on the chart time frame you choose. While it was designed for Second based charts, others have discovered its usefull on tick based charts.
You can make this its own indepentent chart by setting the data series to Transparent and no-AutoScale. Then the TICKlog plot will have full use of the chart. You can also set it as a panel.
You may refer to this thread for a pre-made template that sets up how I use the indicator, but you should adapt to your own needs and see if it gives the trade results you are looking for.
I'm going to start releasing my indicators I build, This thread will be the collection and discussion point for each of them.
How to read it: When the TICKlog plot makes a parabolic rise up or down, get into a trade in any of the 4 index futures in the direction of the plot, or wait for a cross of the zeroline. depending on your aggressiveness.
Its best when a swing goes up/down hard and then trades within a range of its new comfort zone. The longer it remains there, the stronger the trend in the futures makets becomes.
If a tick swing goes hard but only remains 1 or 2 periods, and then reverses, you will see smaller intra-bar swings (good for easy scalps), but also an indication of market chop.
You must subscribe to NYSE and NASDAQ index data in order to take full advantage of this indicator! Check with your data feed provider.
Your feedback in the discussion thread is very important, the more you contribute to help us find what works and what doesnt, the more the indicator can benefit the BMT community.
Fixes the disappearing act the plot line did when incoming data is missing on Bar Update (It just uses the last available data) and checks for bad calculations (NaN's) and removes those results from the plot.
Added the ability to change Indicators and set their respective weights.
- Version 1.2 - 10/29/14
Removed the beta code that somehow got added between v1.1's completion and its export for the forums... This one works, really!
Thread notes indicated that Unirenko 2 4 2 also provided good trade signals, see discussion post #41

This combines code that was found on the board and creates a utility tool. Simply copy the code into your strategy or use this a start. Modify the MouseDown event and add any indicator that you want to have printed or output to a file.
Hello, This one is a conversion from the d9 particle oscillator for NT7 posted in elite section in2009.
I did not see the NT8 version here so am uploading the NT8 version I converted.
There were 2 library files in original NT7 version , now in NT8 version there is a single file and the smoothing function of the prediction line is based on a windows graphics function and not on a mathematical formula which I have omitted from NT7. Otherwise theNT8 version looks same as NT7.
version 3.0 - changed colors save correctly and restore correctly
Version 2.0 - in previous version, upon restart, the color selector parameters came up empty, in this version I made it so they default to Red, Yellow, and Green even if you had saved your workspace with other colors selected. I will keep investigating for a proper fix.
ColorInputSeriesSlopeChanges 1.0
I created a universal indicator that will alter the color based on slope change of "ANY" distinct, single-value dataseries in any panel. (I was reading Sharky’s thread and could not find the one he mentioned so I made one)
To use this, you need to learn how to define the input series for the indicator (all done via the NT7 UI). I created a thread in BMT that walks through this concept. You can also use NT7 help to learn how to do this.
In the supplied screen shot, the default input series is the 6E 12-11 (4 Range. For the indicator I changed it to be the EMA(20).
You can use “ANY” other available dataseries as input and the color change will be applied. No programing required; upper Bollinger band, lower Keltner band, HMA, TSI, MACD, etc… any indicator you have on your system can be used as the input dataseries for this indicator.
You can change the colors used, the defaults are Red (down), Yellow(same or peak), or Green(up).
Yellow can indicate values that are identical but it can also represent what I call Peak. The Peak value is the bar that is the apex of the slope change (ie from up to down). You can also toggle the display of Peak off or on.

There are many ZZs in existence.
This one starts at the beginning of each session and plots through the session. It includes a small bit of 'intelligence' in that it is made specifically to deal with ambiguous situations when a bar spans across the length of your desired ZigZag. In this case some ZZs don't know wether to plot an Up or Down move. This ZZ figures most of those situations out correctly. Although there are times it can be wrong if the desired ZZ is set too small for the volatility of the instrument.
Included are "real time" options so that the latest developing swing will plot Live, once it has reached the based threshold set by the user.
This will plot both the Swings INtraday, as well as the Daily Swing or Main Move. All of which can be toggled on off.
The ShowPreswings option when set to true, will plot swings that occur BEFORE the minimum ZZ length has occurred. An arrow will plot once that minimum swing length has occurred.
Many customizable options included with this, to include full customization of all of the lines, colors and widths, distance the labels and lines appear from the highs/lows etc.
What I did was build a simple strategy in Ninjatrader that does the following:
1- Builds a Database in MySQL
2- Builds needed tables (OpenPnL & ClosedPnL)
3- Stores PNL for all instruments that the strategy is loaded
4- Runs a Query for both Open and Closed PNL
5- Using existing indicator Strategy Plot draws both total PNL (Open + Closed) and Realized PNL
The possibilities of this method are very robust. I can reference the MySQL database in Excel or third party apps, or I can build logic in the trading system to stop trading at a defined loss.
You will need MySQL loaded on your machine, and I suggest setting up your own user name and pass word. There are plenty resources online on how to do this.
Also, you will need to add references to two dll files (MySql.Data.MySqlClient & System.Data) that are included in MySQL installation; the paths are:
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.1.3\lib\vs11
C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL for Visual Studio 1.1.4\Assemblies\v2.0
Do you ever get sick of not knowing your TOTAL P&L in Ninjatrader? I am not talking about the P&L on one system, but referencing multiple systems at one time.

The Adaptive_CCI was developed by Mike Winfrey and Gumphrie what seems like a very long time ago for NT 6.0.
As of 9/16/2011, this version runs on NT 7 and was cleaned up a bit. Still unused code out there but left it for posterity reasons.
There are 2 components of this indicator...
1. Use of John Ehlers code to measure the market cycles and calculate an adaptive period OR set a static period.
2. Plot alternate CCIs in addition to the primary CCI.
The alternate CCIs is kind of neat I think. It was originally designed to show longer timeframe CCIs when looking at a faster timeframe chart. For example, at the time I created this, I was using a 5 minute chart but wanted to use a 1 minute chart to trade from. So, I put up a 1 minute chart and set the Alternate CCI parameters to plot 4 CCIs of 2, 3, 4, and 5 minutes. By using the 1 minute chart, can see the 2, 3, 4, and 5 minute intrabar values. That's really all it amounts to.
Works with all chart types but there are obviously some chart types where there is no direct correlation between the slower and faster periods.

out it.

May 31st, 2017 01:13 PM mehtachandru very good indicator . its one i hv been looking for to identify a trend . The yellow dots trend line is good , can it be
changed adjusted made in two parts. One for start of session and the other after trend changes or mid session.
