I’m feeding live TS data into my ninjatrader chart this morning. I’ve had a couple Bill’s arrows show up:

Sorry that on these screenshots, they blend in a little with the paintbars. In future charts, I’ll color the arrows all Yellow or something, like I do on tradestation and multicharts. Of course, you can set the arrows to any color that you want when you subscribe! :-)

Bill’s Arrows on Ninja now has actual arrows. Actually, you can plot the arrows, or the typical entry dot in a subgraph, or both! I’ve made this kind of option on a couple of the ninjatrader indicators, and I find it really useful. Anyway, check it out:

Another feature I added is an option to turn on or off the bonds. This is for people that want to use Bill’s Arrows on markets that aren’t correlated to some other market. That’s come up before, among our tradestation customers.

I believe that was the last of the coding work for the October release. Testing/documentation phase began last night.

As if you weren’t jealous enough already, I thought I’d show you how the open went for my new charts on the ES futures:

Remember that each candle body on this chart is a point wide, and you can estimate how nice your morning can be with my EOTPro Elite Series indicators on your screen. :-)

Ok, I’m taking the rest of the day off, as usual. See you tomorrow!

This is actually the first ninjatrader indicator I wrote, to figure out how their programming interface would feel. I just remembered that I had the code earlier tonight, and that it was probably sitting somewhere on my hard disk. I found it!

You can see two box plays on this chart (the purple dots on price action outline the boxes, and the blue dots give the price targets). They both work, but the second one has more going for it, in that there is a Patty B signal and slightly better market sync bias at the breakout point.

I haven’t mentioned the box play in a while… if you are new, or don’t recall it, check out this post on the box play, which gives a pdf manual for using it. I know some people in the eotpro family use it with great success. I really like it, but it hasn’t found its way onto any of my charts in a while… hmm…

The volume splitter from the Elite Series is ported to ninjatrader now:

I’m running two copies of it in that screenshot, in the lower two panes. One is set to only show the large traders as a histogram. The other shows all three trader groups as dots. Very cool!

I’ve also been putting other final touches in place. Such as, all the paintbars give you an option to plot a row of colored dots instead of the actual paintbar. You can also plot both. And now, if you change the color of the dots, the paintbar color will change as well. It’s the little things that make the biggest difference, sometimes!

In this video, I go over the entire day on my new charts. I think they look pretty darn awesome. The best part of all is that I only showed the trading chart, irrespective of the context chart… I think it’s great that the trading chart does that well alone, without any more input.

Even if you were simple-minded, and took every single signal, you’d come out ok. I point out a couple of the signals that you obviously would want to avoid, in my opinion. But, count them all and you’ve still got a massive up day.

I will be very curious to see how the chart holds up over the next week. I don’t know if I have the energy to profile a stock today… anyone have any suggestions for stocks?

I recorded a live trade today, using my Sim account. I’m trying out my new charts, and I’m loving them so far. Too bad I didn’t record the trade just before this one… but you can see clearly on the chart how nice of a drop it was. Oh yeah!

It was pretty volatile down there, and I got out just in time… with help from the eotpro end-of-trend indicator.

Now I’ve got the volume indicators… Here’s Shelly’s Volume VR4×1 and my Bid/Ask-Volume Histogram on ninjatrader:

I’ll port the volume splitter tomorrow…

Yes, we are almost there with the ninjatrader release in October. And, the initial release will have a couple more indicators than I had promised! For ninjatrader customers, I’ve produced the most flexible Rolling-VWAP indicator yet! Rather than having a separate RollVWAP1, RollVWAP5, etc., now the length is just an input, so you can have any divisor of 60 that you want. So if you’ve been jonesing for a RollVWAP6 or RollVWAP2, then you can finally have it. It corrects inputs that don’t divide into 60, so you can even be lazy about that. Also the depth of the nesting is fully configurable, so you can fine-tune the “speed” of the rolling vwap like never before. I’m really enjoying playing with that.

So, with the rolling VWAP in place, I went ahead and provided my favorite paintbars. They are based on the rolling VWAPs, and Alla’s Average. You’ve seen them on many of my screens, and they’ve been available on the forums for elite-series customers for a while.

Here’s a screenshot:

On this you can see Alla’s Average, a rolling VWAP, and the paintbars. I’ve also ported the improved code to Multicharts and Tradestation, and will release that to elite-series subscribers in the October release. So, you’ll soon have any flavor of rolling VWAP that you want on those platforms, too.

Ok, two things happened. One, I was inspired by Bill’s new chart. It looks cool. And two, I was talking about volume charts today, and got the itch to play with point-original charts again. So… I made a new entry signal that’s a kind-of second cousin to Bill’s latest code.

Of course, I can’t leave things as simple as an entry arrow… ;-) I have no less than 7 color levels, and it plots anywhere from 1 to 4 dots. You can consider the color as “trend-strength” and the number of dots as “favorable aspects.” Favorable aspects are things like “the moving averages are crossed appropriately” and “the stochastics aren’t already pegged out,” etc. The more dots, the better. In theory, anyway…

Anyway, it seems to look alright, so this may be my next trading chart for awhile. We’ll see…

As an aside… I don’t know how heavy the storms from Hurricane Ike will be where I live… if it’s bad, then I may be gone for a few days… happy trading!

Here’s the link to the recorded presentation. We went over Bill’s new experimental setup, based on vram-bars… I’m jealous! And then I discuss NinjaTrader advancements, and Glen talks about stock seasonality.

Just a brief update today… it was contract rollover day, so I steered clear of the markets. I had fun presenting the latest ninja stuff in the EOTPro live room. It’s almost ready for an October release now, thank goodness! Then it’s on to the next platform…

Reader Jeff requested Bucyrus International, Inc. (Nasdaq: BUCY) for our stock of the day, and I’ve complied. :-)

As always, I show the whole day on a super-simple trend-following system using a couple eotpro indicators. I take all the setups and exit when the volume pressure changes color, no questions asked. I want to leave very little room for discretion, so that you know I’m not just making stuff up… these indicators are really good! Period. (I should know… I developed them myself)

We have 7 trades, for 5 wins and 2 losses. The net gain was $0.95 per share.

Enjoy!

Here’s a trade I captured… sadly the audio and video keep separating as the video progresses… but it’s still watchable, I think.

Here I show how, with a little luck, I managed to get out at the exact bottom tick of the move. Hitting the exact tick was luck, but knowing it was time to get out came directly from the indicators, as you’ll see. As always, the standard disclaimer applies, that this is for entertainment only, and not investment advice, blah blah blah cayman islands blah blah blah hookers and blow blah blah blah.

Enjoy!

I got this email a moment ago from an eotpro elite series subscriber:

richard man I just had to mention to you the return I had today w/ your volumesplitter indicator…just by turning your volumesplitter indicator into a histogram today it allowed me so clearly to get in at the exact moment before the swing up or dwn on the YM.

long story short today I had a gain of +118pts SWEET !

Thanks man for your outstanding indicator.

Very nice! Also, it’s good to hear about people using the volume splitter on products besides ES. You have to adjust the settings for your market, but once you’ve done that it should be very effective.
