Bill William's Awesome Oscillator is quite similar to the raw MACD, but uses simple moving averages with a period of 34 and 5 instead of the exponential moving averages used for the MACD. The input value is the median of the bar, whereas the default MACD uses the close.
The histogram shown by the indicator is comparable to the raw MACD line. I have added a signal line to the raw oscillator, just to show that it can be used in a similar fashion as the MACD.
There are other NinjaTrader versions of the Awesome Oscillator
- which use an additional data series to allow for changing the plot colors (NT 6.5)
- which do not allow to change the parameters for the moving averages
This indicator can be used as a MACD, which is built from simple instead of exponential moving averages.
This is a simple bar timer for minute charts with an added audio alert.
Copy your favourite sound file into the directory -> programs -> NinjaTrader 7 -> sounds. Now enter the name of that sound file and the leadtime in seconds via indicator dialogue box.
The indicator name is "anaBarTimer". Please do not confuse it with the default NinjaTrader BarTimer.
Please note that NinjaTrader 7 does not support wav/MPEG. wav/MPEG files need to be converted to wav/PCM files first.
Update September 20, 2012: Indicator triggered random alerts during off-session times, when no ticks were arriving. Bug removed. Font size of display can now be selected.
Update November 21, 2014: Option added to select the fontstyle (regular, bold, italic ...)
This indicator is based on the original version of the Better Volume Indicator from https://www.emini-watch.com/. It identifies the following events relative to the selected lookback period:
Breakout or climax bars: A breakout or climax bar is a wide range high volume bar for which the the product "volume times range" is higher than for all preceeding bars of the lookback period.
Churn bars: A churn bar is a narrow range high volume bar for which the ratio "volume per range" is higher than for all preceeding bars of the lookback period.
Climax churn bars: A climax churn bar is a high volume bar that qualifies both as a climax bar and as a churn bar.
Low volume bars: A low volume bar is a bar which has a lower volume than for all preceeding bars of the lookback period.
The indicator uses two lookback periods. The larger lookback period identifies stronger climax and churn bars, the smaller lookback period points to weaker climax and churn bars and is used to identify low volume bars.
A breakout or climax bar may occur at different locations. It may start a trend as a breakout bar, it may indicate that an existing trend continues after price has consolidated or it may occur at the end of a trend and indicate that the trend is near exhaustion. This bar type is similar to classic types of gaps that may be found on daily charts. There are runaway gaps, continuation gaps and exhaustion gaps. Breakout or climax bars may be used as a subsitute for those gaps when trading smaller timeframes.
Relative Volume: When you use the BetterVolume indicator with intraday data, it is pretty much distorted at the beginning of the regular session. When compared to pre-session bars, all the bars in the beginning of the regular session look like high volume bars, which in turn leads to false signals. This behavior is corrected when the Better Volume indicator is applied to "relative volume" instead of "absolute volume". This version of the indicator allows for performing the Better Volume calculations on both absolute volume and relative volume.
Sound Alerts: The indicator comes with sound alerts.
Market Analyzer Column: I have included a market analyzer column with the install file. The market analyzer column will return bar codes for each type of signal: strong climax churn bar = 0, strong climax bar = 1, strong churn bar = 2, weak climax churn bar = 3, weak climax bar = 4, weak churn bar = 5, low volume bar = 6, upclose no signal bar = 7, downclose no signal bar = 8, doji no signal bar = 9. Based on these values you may define cell conditions and show the signals as text with background color on the market analyzer.
Update version 1.1: Bug removed. Sound alerts did not fire, because the path for the sound files had not been initialized.
Update version 1.3:: Holiday calendar updated for Relative Volume indicator, sound alerts now working on inactive charts.
Nota: The forum software has renamed the downloadable zip file to the false version number 1.0. Please disregard the version number of the zip file. The zip file contains the indicator version as specified above.
This is a generalized version of the Bollinger Bands with a few options added:
- The midband can be selected from a moving median, a moving mode or 27 different moving averages.
- Midband and channels can be smoothed.
- The period for the standard deviation can be different from the period for the moving average.
- The indicator has an option to display the channels or the midband individually.
- All plots can be colored according to their slope, or alternatively all plots can be colored according to the slope of the midband.
- The slope color includes a neutral slope, which can be adjusted via a threshold.
- The area between the Bollinger Bands can be shaded according to the shape of the midband.
- The trend derived from the midband slope can be displayed via paint bars.
Update July 3 2012: Midband can now be selected from a moving median, a moving mode or 27 different moving averages. Adjustable neutral zone added. Bands can be colored according to their own slope or slope of midband, midband and channels can be displayed individually.

Update August 20, 2012: Old version of ADXVMA replaced with new version.
Update August 31, 2012: Ehlers Filter updated.
Update October 4, 2012: Paintbars added. Ehlers and Gauss filters updated, moving mode removed. Channel and paintbar colors will now align, when indicator is displaced.
Update October 5, 2013: Tillson T3 added.
Update October 10, 2014: When paintbars were selected without showing the midband, occasionally some bars were set to transparent. Bug removed.
Update March 19, 2015: Slope trend exposed via public IntSeries.
This is a new implementation of the chandelier stop developed by Charles LeBeau. For a long trade the chandelier stop is calculated by subtracting a multiple of the average true range over the last N bars from the highest high (chandelier) since the inception of the trade. For a short trade the chandelier stop is calculated by adding a multiple of the average true range over the last N bars to the lowest low since the inception of the trade.
Instead of calculating the stop from the highest high and the lowest low, it is also possible to calculate it from the highest close and the lowest close.
The indicator version presented here uses the average true range calculated one bar ago. This is to avoid that the stop moves away when approached by a bar, it further acts against the distortion of the average true range when the indicator is set to COBC = false and reduces CPU load. The concept of using the ATR one bar ago was already introduced with the SuperTrend M11.
UseHighLow: The chandelier stops can be calculated from highest high/lowest low or from highest close/lowest close:
Reverse Intra-bar = false: This is the default setting of the indicator. A logical signal will be generated when the close of the signal bar has taken out the stop line. The position may be reversed at the open of the next bar. The paint bars will only change colors for the bar after the signal bar. The arrow will be also plotted for the entry bar.
Reverse Intra-bar = true: This is an unusual setting for the Chandelier Stop The signal will be generated with the first tick that has plotted on the other side of the stop line. In this case the position may be reversed intra-bar for the signal bar. Paintbars and arrows will already plot for the signal bar.
Accessing the trend: The indicator comes with a BoolSeries that holds the trend. This BoolSeries can be accessed by other indicators or automated strategies.
Paintbars: The indicator has an option to display the current trend via paintbars. Downclose bars are filled, upclose bars are hollow. For the upclose bars an opacity can be selected for better visibility.
Arrows: The indicator has an option to display trend changes via an arrow.
Sound alerts: The indicator will alert to trend reversals and potential trend reversals. A potential trend reversal occurs when price touches the stop line intra-bar prior to the confirmation by a close on the other side of the stop line. The sound files are included with the indicator install file. Please unzip and copy them into the program files (x86)\ NinjaTrader 7\ sounds directory or whatever directory is used by NinjaTrader to store the sound files.
This indicator package is an old version and there will be no more maintenance. All the features have now been integrated with the SessionPivots indicator that can be downloaded here:
The indicators include an option to display dynamic fiblines calculated from the high and low of the current day, current week or current month.
Right side chart margin: Please set the right side margin under chart properties to at least 100 to allow for correct display of labels.
The indicators use the sessions as defined per session template. This allows you to alternatively display the high and low of the day session or the high and low of the entire session. For the RTH high and low. please use a multi-session (2 or 3) session template. The reference session for the OHL indicator can be selected, so high and low can be taken from first, second or third intraday session.
Hybrid: This is a setting that will identify the RTH session as the third intraday session for FOREX and currency futures, but as the second session for all other instruments. This is a convenience setting, which I personally use, as I have 3-session templates (Asia, Europe, US) for FOREX and currency futures. For all other instruments, I have session templates, where the second session is the RTH session.
Public Holidays: The indicator is preconfigured for public holidays without settlement for trade date next day or later. These holiday session will only be applied to Globex instruments. The Current Day OHL will then be displayed according to trade dates. If you use the indicator for other instruments you will not need to change the settings.
Update May 24, 2011: Signature changed for GetNextBeginEnd(), indicator did not always plot. Now the new signature is used for OnBarUpdate() and the old signature for Plot() Override.
Update June 21, 2011: The indicator now works with half-pip FOREX feeds. Indicator dialogue box improved.
Update July 19, 2011: Adapted to half-pips FOREX feeds, dialogue box improved, plot serialization changed.
Update December 10, 2011: Label size is now adjustable. Globex Holiday Calendar for 2012 added.
Update January 6, 2012: Holiday fields added for anaCurrentOHLV38

This is a generalized version of the Donchian Channel with a few options added:
- The Donchian Channel lines can be calculated from High/Low, Close, Typical or Weighted price. With the default option High/Low they will be calculated from the highest high and lowest low over the lookback period. With the other options the highest and lowest of the selected input series are used, which produces narrow channels.
- The indicator has an option to display outer channels, inner channes or midband individually.
- The indicator comes with a fast and a slow trend filter. The fast trendfilter changes direction, when the midband breaches the prior low of the upper band (trend change up) or when it breaches the prior high of the lower band (trend change down, as shown in the chart attached). The slow trendfilter changes direction, when the lower band breaches the prior low of the upper band (trend change up) or when the upper brand breaches the prior high of the lower band (trend change down, as shown in the chart attached.
- The indicator allows to display the fast trend, the slow trend or a combination of fast and slow trend, when appropriate colors are selected. If you want to show the fast trend only, you need to use identical colors for fast/slow uptrend and fast/slow downtrend. If you want to show the slow trend only, you would need to use the same colors for slow uptrend/fast downtrend and fast uptrend/slow downtrend. Both trendseries are exposed as public BoolSeries and can be called in an automated strategy.
- The trend can be displayed via the channel and midband colors or via paint bars. The indicator also has an option to display the channels or the midband individually. If you just need the paint bars, you can disable all plots.
Update October 4, 2012: Channel and paintbar colors will now align, when indicator is displaced.
Update July 5, 2015: Second channel added to indicator.
The Double Smoothed Stochastics (DSS) is an exponentially smoothed stochastics indicator applied to an exponentially smoothed stochastics. It has been popularized by Walter Bressert. The DSS can be used as a cycle indicator. Usually first a cycle analysis is performed. The DSS should then be applied with half the cycle period of the dominant cycle. Walter Bressert uses the indicator with default periods of 10 and 5, and calls them DBS10 and DBS5.
This indicator is a modified version of the Double Stochastics NinjaTrader default indicator. I have coded it for various reasons.
EMA period: The NinjaTrader default DSS uses an EMA period of 3. This setting cannot be changed. However, nearly all other versions of the DSS use an EMA period between 8 and 10. This version uses a default period of 9, which can be changed.
Coding Inefficiencies: The NinjaTrader default DSS is highly inefficient, when running with COBC = false, because both MAX and MIN methods are performed twice with every incoming ticks. I have changed the algorithm to increase the speed.
Signal Line: I have added a signal line to the DSS. The signal line is generated as an EMA of the DSS, in the same way as it is generated for the MACD.
Rising and Falling Colors: The indicator will plot in different colors, depending on whether the Double Stochastics is rising or falling.
You can put a slow and a fast Double Stochastics indicator on your chart, then use the slow one as trend filter and the fast one for timing the entry signals.
Update March 6, 2013: Code efficiency improved, signal line added.
Update March 7, 2013: Bug removed, indicator displayed false values with COBC = false.
Fibonacci Cluster Version 14 for Ninja 7 (April 2010)
Exported using NT Version 7.0.0.17, will not run on NT 6.5
Indicator displays Fibonacci retracements and extensions for intraday and daily charts based on swing highs and lows.
Labels: Fib lines labeled A-E are calculated from 5-day primary swing highs or lows, those labeled S refer to a recent swing high and low of order 2 or 3, those labeled Y and Z are calculated from swing lows and today’s high and low, if applicable. Extensions from highs and lows that have been taken out are labeled X, you will also find additional support and resistance from prior swing highs and lows that have been taken out. An example: “D+ 76.4 (28 Jan)” means that prices touching this line have retraced 76.4% within a Fib retracement defined by the swing high from January 28 and the lowest low between this date and the end of the session of yesterday.
Multiple Lines: All Fib values are rounded to full ticks. If several Fib values are rounded to the same price, the indicator will display “Multiple Fíb” and display the number of Fib lines.
Lookback period: The indicator will only take into account Fib retracements within the look back period of the chart. You can increase or reduce the look back period of the indicator via indicator dialogue.
Filter: The filter can be set to values between 0 and 100. Default setting is 85. If a swing low defining a Fibonacci retracement occurred 100 days ago, all lows during the following 15 days will be ignored, only lows during the last 85% of the 100 day range will be used for Fib retracements. If you do not want to use the filter, you may set it to 100.
Select your lines: The indicator will display quite a number of lines, usually too many to use it for trading. It is therefore recommended to either use the short or the long end of the lookback period. If you want to use the short end, leave all lines A to Z selected, but reduce the lookback period of the indicator to 5 or 10 days. If you want to select the long end, set the lookback period to a minimum of 100 days, but unselect the Y and Z lines.

June 12th, 2014 02:26 PM schapps99 I don't see anywhere to enter the sound file or alert lead time in the indicator dialogue box? Not sure to code matches
February 16th, 2016 10:46 AM no3putts Great, thank you!
August 10th, 2015 11:43 AM Tony09 Thanks, again Fat Tails,
Awesome indicator - Exactly what im looking for entry timing.

March 23rd, 2014 11:51 AM stefp799 I am a newcomer, and i want to thank you for offering this great rendition of this old timer indicator. I was an old Stu
dent of Walter Bressert and am very familiar with the whole theory. This indicator is just what i was looking for. Had l
ost it years ago...Not useful by itself..but very useful when you look at a higher fractal chart in conjunction. say 5 m
inute chart is your master chart, and you trade on a 510 tick chart for example...or better yet...Bressert will look at
a daily chart..and when the doublestoch is descending..will short all the opportunity offered by the smaller fractals, b
ut more precise charts.. When the doublestoch is in sync between many fractals..you get the most bang for your buck. Tha
