Exported using NT Version 7.0.1000.30
The True Strength Index was developed by William Blau and published in his book "Momentum, Direction and Divergence". This version of the TSI is an enhanced version of the NinjaTrader default indicator. It comes with the following improvements:
Momentum period: The original version of the indicator uses the price difference between the current and the prior close, which is the 1-period momentum. The updated version of the indicator also allows for selecting a momentum period greater than 1.
Triple Smoothing: The standard version of the indicator comes with double smoothing for momentum and absolute momentum. William Blau himself also used triple smoothing, This indicator lets you choose between double and triple smoothing. If you set the third smoothing period to 1, you will get double smoothing, and the indicator will display identical results with the NinjaTrader default indicator.
Smoothing with different moving averages: William Blau has suggested to use the EMA for double or triple smoothing. This indicator offers you a selection of more than 30 different moving averages for the smoothing. The default is set to EMA in line with the original indicator.
Signal Line: I have added a signal line for timing entries and exits. The signal line is obtained by smoothing the TSI with one of the selectable moving averages, similar to the signal line of the MACD. The default period for the signal line is 7.
Histogram: The indicator has an option to plot a histogram, which shows the difference between TSI and signal line.
Trend definition: The indicator exposes the current trend via an IntSeries. The trend can be determined based on the TSI (rising & not oversold, falling & not overbought, neutral), the signal line (rising & not oversold, falling & not overbought, neutral)) or the TSI / signal line crosses. All trend definitions are not straightforward, but require a higher close to switch to an uptrend, or a lower close to switch to a downtrend. Moreover the DSM / signal line cross will only show an uptrend, when not oversold and a downtrend when not overbought.
Paint bars: The paintbars can be used to plot the trend information. The trend states are uptrend, downtrend and neutral trend as explained above. It is possible to apply the indicator to the price panel and unselect the indicator plots. This allows to use the indicator as a "paintbar only" indicator.
Sound alerts: The indicator comes with sound alerts which are triggered when the trend changes. The sound files are included with the zip file and should be manually copied into the directory Documents -> program files (x86) -> NinajTrader 7 -> sounds.
Update March 13, 2014: Trend filter, paint bars, sound alerts and histogram added.
Update November 16, 2015: Momentum period added. Option added to select from different moving averages.
Note: The parameter structure of the indicator was changed. In case that you have used the prior version of the anaTSI as input series for other indicators or strategies, these indicators or strategies will only work, if you change the syntax of the indicator call to conform with the new parameter structure.
This is a generalized version of the Keltner Channels with a few options added:
- The midband can be selected from a moving median, a moving mode or 27 different moving averages, all of which are calculated from the typical price.
- Midband and channels can be smoothed.
- The smoothing period for the range or the true range 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 Keltner Channels can be shaded according to the slope 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 July 5, 2012: Bug removed - Butterworth, Gauss and Supersmoother Fillter did not use the specified period.
Update August 20, 2012: Old version pf ADXVMA replaced with new version.
Update August 25, 2012: Paint bars added.
Update August 31, 2012: Ehlers Filter updated.
Update October 4, 2012: Ehlers and Gauss filters updated, moving mode removed. Channel and paintbar colors will now align, when indicator is displaced.
Update January 14, 2012: Second indicator added, which calculates upper band from high average and lower band from low average. Bug removed, which caused erroneous results when Butterworth, Gauss or Supersmoother options were used for calculating the average range or true range.
Update August 7, 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 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.

This indicator is based on tradestations free momentum indicator but I added a feature that is a histogram by default, smooths the histogram, adds a moving average to the histogram and reference lines in the suubgraph.

July 16th, 2017 11:46 AM delta9100 great job
July 17th, 2015 06:38 PM ShaunG Thanks FT. I was looking for a "Keltner Channel indicator where I can set a EMA midband. The std NinjaTrader7 Keltner Ch
annel seems to use only a SMA for the midband! Thanks again much appreciated.

Thank you
April 1st, 2016 09:56 PM usdivers I concur with Macguy, works great for confirming ES moves on the 5000 volume. Trued lower volume charts, however 5000 se
ems just about right, with lot less market noise.
