RWT-004 updated

Posted on February 5th, 2010
Written by Richard

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.

Ninjatrader 7 Beta: My First Impressions

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.

On Calling Ninjascript Indicators Efficiently

Posted on August 18th, 2009
Written by Richard

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 [...]

Quick and Dirty Ninja PnF Bars, version 2

Posted on August 10th, 2009
Written by Richard

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 [...]

Quick and Dirty NinjaTrader6.5 PnF Charts

Posted on June 30th, 2009
Written by Richard

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 [...]

NinjaTrader 7 Feature Highlights

Written by Richard

[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 [...]

FREE Point Original Bars for Ninjatrader

Posted on April 6th, 2009
Written by Richard

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 [...]

EOTPro Indicators on Ninja Replay

Posted on March 13th, 2009
Written by Richard

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 [...]

EOTPro Math Lines come to NinjaTrader

Posted on November 19th, 2008
Written by Richard

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 [...]

GCycleMasInd Comes to NinjaTrader

Posted on November 11th, 2008
Written by Richard

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 [...]
