Jump from cloud to cloud. Exit when you go into the cloud (white) enter when you pop back out. Really just a souped up - 5 ema / 8 sma cross with the slope of the 5 ema clouding up if it is not steep enough. Should keep you out of the chop. I use on range bars.
So obviously this template may be too complicated....
Just look at a 5 ema / 8 sma cross - really the same thing

One of the biggest requests for Strategy Trader has been for better coding documentation. The coding help document was recently revised (and greatly improved) so I thought this would be a beneficial document to upload before posting any indicators or strategies.

Coding Tool - OnRender Helper V1 & 2 (nt8b10)
OnRender Helper is a tool for coding, not trading.
I became tired of sometimes 'losing' my 'OnRender' plots because of chart scale values so I made a 'jig' of sorts to help with this.
OnRender Helper enables you to see most ChartControl, ChartBars, ChartPanel and ChartScale properties in realtime as you manipulate the chart and bars.
It helps dispel confusion when coding so you know exactly how, for instance, ChartBars.ToIndex relates to ChartControl.LastSlotPainted or if you want to see the current pixel value of ChartPanel.Y or how many bars are painted on the chart etc etc.
Features:
*You can place in any panel (and all panels) so you can find the properties specifically for that panel.
*Works on multi-tabbed charts.
*V1 sits within the panel and is quite basic, although it does share all values.
*V2 opens a new window so it does not obstruct your chart. You can open the window via a toolbar button.
*V2 - open a DataBox and view the current bar value.
Coding examples:
*How to insert/remove a toolbar button.
*How to open a new window via a toolbar button.
*How to create a hyperlink to a website (NT8Help) that opens in a browser.
*How to access chart/bar properties and convert into string format.
Remember this is for beta so please PM me for bugs. Suggestions and ideas are welcome also!

December 19th, 2016 04:10 AM GeorgeW Thanks for this tool. I can now see why my plot is disappearing off the chart when I reduce the chart Tick value. Can an
