The platform I’ve been using and building on since NT6.5. Setup, troubleshooting, and what makes it work.
A Change-of-Character (CHOCH) is the cleanest tell that price action has shifted regimes — the moment a new high breaks the previous swing high while the trend was down (bullish CHOCH), or a new low breaks the previous swing low while the trend was up (bearish CHOCH). BigBeluga’s Choch Pattern Levels takes that primitive and…
Some indicators belong on the price panel — moving averages, VWAP, pivots, trend lines. Some belong in a sub-panel — RSI, MACD, oscillators, anything whose scale is unrelated to price. A few indicators want both: an overlay line on the price panel plus a histogram or secondary metric in a sub-panel below. NinjaScript’s IsOverlay property…
A free NinjaTrader 8 Renko bar type whose bricks get wider the further a run extends — so a long trend stops flooding the chart, and every new brick costs more than the one before it. Here’s the idea, what it does on a chart, what it costs you, and the download. A few weeks…
John Ehlers’ Noise Elimination Technology (NET) sits on top of any oscillator and outputs how directional its recent values have been — values close to ±1 indicate a clear trend in the underlying, values near zero indicate noise. alexgrover’s RSI With Noise Elimination applies it to a normalized momentum oscillator (an efficiency-ratio form of RSI),…
A single-bar signal is easy. “Close above SMA” or “RSI crossed 30” fits in one if block. Multi-bar signals — “setup bar, then a confirmation bar within three bars, then a trigger bar” — turn into nested conditions that are fragile, hard to test, and almost impossible to debug when they misfire. A state machine…
A standard stochastic uses a single fixed lookback. Pick a small one and the indicator twitches; pick a large one and it lags every turn. LuxAlgo’s Inertial Stochastic takes a different angle: scan all lengths from MinLen to MaxLen and pick the one whose stochastic value sits closest to the previous bar’s chosen value. The…
“I have a jittery calculation and I want to smooth it.” The answer is almost always “call one of NinjaTrader’s built-in moving-average indicators on your existing Series.” NinjaScript ships SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, TEMA, DEMA, VWMA, and several others as indicator objects you instantiate and call the same way you’d call SMA on Close. This…
One SuperTrend is a single voice. Zeiierman’s SuperTrend Cluster is a committee — five SuperTrend members, each with their own ATR length, factor, MA-smoothing type, MA length, and weight. The committee votes; the cluster line moves only when consensus crosses the threshold. The five members can use SMA, EMA, LinReg, WMA, HMA, or RMA smoothing…
“Three consecutive higher closes.” “Five bars without a lower low.” Pattern rules like these depend on a run counter — a small int that tracks how many bars in a row share a direction. The logic looks trivial but the corner cases are real: what counts as up, what to do with doji bars, how…
A free NinjaTrader 8 Renko bar type whose bricks get narrower the further a run extends — so momentum reads as bar density instead of bar size. Here’s the idea, how it behaves, what it costs you, and the download. When I started out, I couldn’t keep up with the ideas. Every few weeks there…
