Hi @garciaal,
Wow! That was 5 years ago. Not sure I even have that setup anymore. Been going through an uncomfortable abandonment this past year. Things are in turmoil. Haven't been on the forum in awhile & haven't traded in 2 years. I don't know if I have the time to address this right now. Sorry. David
After all, it's what you learn AFTER you know it all, that counts!
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Is anyone successfully using the Viper Trading Systems indicators and/or Object Trader? If so, what tools or strategies are you using?
Browsing through the videos, using the Object Trader to box the midband area for pullback trades looks interesting, but it seems like you could roughly do this manually using a Donchian channel (I've been trying with period 55). And I like the 'lightning'. I've been ZigZag (2 points, high/low) to similarly show pivots. Anyone have any better facsimiles?
My post was from 2014. I think I have explained it in my post. It is a set of channels, each with a fixed width. Adjustment after breakout. Personally, I would prefer a Donchian Channel.
Hi,
Sorry to ask again. I am rather new with Ninja Trader 7. I can not find a 'simple channel' or just 'channel' in the list of Indicators. Perhaps a different name? Your custom Indicator?
Is it your special version of the 'Donchian Channel'?
Thanks, DaveH
We are working on our second month with Viper Trading systems. Thus, we just had to respond to this quote above since we are talking about constructive criticism. We have read almost the entire thread. Sadly, after the fact.
So far the organization has been a trial. An expensive headache. Almost 250 dollars a month. The indicators for the NT8 are freezing up the charts. For the entire time we have subscribed. They continue to tell us the NT8 indicators will be fixed. They are aware of the problem. It begs the question; how long has this been going on? How long will this last? Did it just start when we subscribed? We don't think so. We are told just use the very minimum indicator until they get that fixed. In the meantime, they want that we should download and use NT7 if we want to be able to use the Object Trader. But everything we have is on NT8 including the data feed.
Putting that aside, when you have a Vendor and you have a customer, you generally come to an agreement when you buy their product. An agreement based upon INTEGRITY, ethics and mutual respect. When you say "It is a free economy, supply and demand, and as long as you have this you have companies offering their services and knowhow and you have people who are prepared to pay for this service."
That is fine to say in a perfect world, but that should not include those who sell a questionable product. Based upon your logic, it is perfectly ok to sell "lemons" to others because there is demand? At what point does bad business enter the conversation? Do you not think they should have advised us about the pre-existing problem with NT8? It is like pulling teeth to get them to respond in the webinar. I had to ask three times on this date "when will the changes be made for NT8?" Of course, they may not have seen my question. But this is not the first time I have had questions ignored. Yet I hear them constantly answering other's questions if it is regarding making money.
Secondly, there is hardly any training to understand how to use the indicators. The training generally consists of watching videos of webinars we attended. And I wont say that is a bad thing. However, we have learned more about getting funded than we have learning how to use their indicators on a 4 Range chart. We dont need to get funded. We need to learn how this works. But after 2 months my husband is still not confident as to when to enter a trade.
We think the Object Trader is a wonderful tool. But is a separate tool from the indicators. A tool that allows one to create a box or a trendline trade, automatically. (Something Ninja Trader should purchase) But it will not work at this time b/c we have NT8. If we add the "Wedge" it will not respond. And as mentioned above the Lightning" feature is great. If it worked for us! Again, something included in the subscription, but unavailable at this time. It is very upsetting to hear them say "box that in" but you cannot b/c it won't work at the time.
Are they making money? They may or may not be. But the point is, we are not because the indicators will not respond at the moment. An issue that challenges their business ethic and therefore must be questioned so others can be made aware I suppose we had some grace the first month to allow them time to get things fixed. (When all is said and done, they seem to be very nice people.) The second month is on us. But, the third month will be egg on our face. My husband has chronic Lyme Disease, and we just want to trade Futures in order to help pay toward the medical bills. I am always looking for something simple to make his life easier. And with it comes risks from Vendors who lack certain business criteria, we are prepared to take the risk, but not without warning others when things go South.
A wife's two cents. thank you for listening.
