Recently stumbled over a vendor that has programmed an indicator/strategy for ninjatrader to combine NT7 indicators, with severeral integrated logics, to half or fully automate trading ideas. They allow unlimited trial for demo trading, so you only pay when you think the developed system is worth going live.
Just started looking at some youtube videos, how to use custom indicators like 3dspotter and quickly got stuck finding out how to get the custom indicator outputs into bloodhound (you have to trial and error some permutations of possibilities to find out the correct parameters)
I´d like to ask the more experienced in strategy development on how you think about this graphical user interface supported "mouse klicking" solution.
Is it worth getting deeper into bloodhound or are there some fundamental flaws in the concept, so you (i) better start learning C# to backtest/automate trading ideas (taking all that huge time learning and then coding/debugging stuff)?
The vendor page is BloodHound | SharkIndicators
I am not involved in any kind with the inventors or sellers of the software.
Interesting software. Looks like a programming helper if you will. Probably a good tool if you can't program, but the price point seems high at about the same cost of NinjaTrader. Also, I would consider this a research tool more than a trading tool as once you specialize to a trading system, you don't need the flexibility provided by this tool.
hi
I just began using it myself and it seems like a great tool for someone like me with limited coding experience.
It enables me to play around with concepts in a fast and visual way.
I tested one ADX strategy on a live sim account this week and it worked pretty good. I was able to fine tune an ADX strategy I had already.
If I find a few more strategies that work ok, then I will lease it first for a few months.
I purchased Bloodhound some time back ... a lot of new features have been added since then. It is excellent for testing new ideas for traders without coding skills. With SI Raven it can also trade your homemade strategies ... Great tool
I am a believer in buying tools, not systems. This is definitely a tool, which is why i have invested a lot of time in the free trial - which is fully functional just limited to 60 days of intraday backtesting.
its great because i can shortcut the coding hurdle in Ninja. I have found however lots of stability issues but that just may be my machine.
There is a very steep learning curve trying to get it all working so you invest lots of time. but the trial costs nothing so why not fool around with it.....
Thanks for the feedback folks, it's greatly appreciated!
@greenroomhoo - I'd be interested in diagnosing those stability issues you're having, let me know if you come across problems and I'll help you any way I can to resolve them (you can also drop us a line on via support ticket which we answer as soon as we can).
thanks jeremy.....i have had lots of personal ninja/computer issues so as i noted in my post it is probably that. I am going to reinstall on new hardware. If i still have issues ill take you up on that support ticket.
My trading is like my avatar: Big, Hairy, and Full of S$&T.
Thanks for the question. Falcon is still a while out and we don't have a timeframe available for that currently.
In the meantime, you can use SiRaven (included with BloodHound) to place ATM trades on which provide more flexibility than just simple stops and targets.
