RWT-004 was about storing references to Ninjatrader indicators. In NT7, as of recent betas, there is an OnStartUp() method that is a perfect place to initialize indicator references. So, I’ve updated the document to reflect that.
It’s #4 on the articles page.
I got my beta copy of Ninja7 tonight. Though there were a few issues, my impression is very favorable overall. Here were my first impressions, roughly in order.
I’ve put out RWT-004 on the best-of page. This one is about how slow and redundant the typical Ninjatrader idiom for referencing indicators can be:
SMA(Close,5)[0] > SMA(Close,5)[1]
In one case, an apparent bug in ninja’s magical “don’t touch this” area broke code I had written in this fashion. The paper describes the issue, and [...]
I’ve made a couple of enhancements to my quick-and-dirty PnF bars for Ninja. Now, they:
They are compatible with advanced volume studies like VR4×1 and Volume Splitter
They show you where price is at every tick. The last version held the bar in its standard PnF shape, no matter where price was. This one [...]
I realize you can get PnF charts from tradingstudies.com, but I am a programmer, and I had a simple need for 1 tick x 3 box reversal PnF charts on my Ninjatrader. So, I made a quick-and-dirty implementation. Because I just threw it together, it only works for 1-tick boxes, but you can [...]
[EDIT: I have NT7 Beta now... see my first look at the Ninjatrader 7 beta]
Ninja just released a list of features for NT7, and you can see the list here. A lot of the features make things more convenient that what we have in 6.5 (like dragging around indicators rather than setting up panel [...]
Many of you know that I really like to follow what Multicharts calls “point(original)” bars. Unlike traditional range bars, these hold the range from open to close at a constant.
Well, not long ago I saw a model for how to make custom bar types on ninjatrader. Those were for renko bars, and I [...]
A lot of people have been wanting to practice their EOTPro trading in ninjatrader’s replay mode. Unfortunately, a few of our tick-by-tick indicators haven’t worked for replay, though. Well, I’ve finally had time to investigate, and with the help of one of our clients, I’ve made the adjustments needed for everything to [...]
I saw some of the freely available math line indicators last night… and I was disgusted! Mostly, they show daily lines, which is of no use to me.
I guess I didn’t like the implementations on tradestation, either, because we made our own version for eotpro. So, I made a math [...]
I’ve ported the eotpro GCycleMasInd to ninjatrader now. It’s an indicator that’s been part of the Tradestation and Multicharts packages for some time. Though it doesn’t get used in the live room, there are plenty of people that use it in their everyday trading. You’d want to use it in combination with [...]
