Is there a TTM indicator for Ninja on this forum? thanks, David

It is for Trade Station

I was looking for a support and resistence indicator. It draws a blue line above and a magenta line below the price. Is it listed on this forum? thanks, David

Hi Waveslider, Actually I have been using it for a type of swing trade indicator on the ER2 after I find the trend and get in the trade. So yes & no on the stop. I thought it would be good to make it more sensitive and place it on the chaert twice with different colors. I would like to code it for Ninja Trader. I dont know enough about C# language to do it though. thanks, David

Hi Waveslider, this is a Great indicator. Thanks!!! I was wondering if it would be possible for you to write an input for this indicator where we could change it from 3 bar to 2 bar? I use the indicator but sometimes I give up a lot of profit waiting for the next set of stop dots. David

Tasuki, I also am looking for a data provider for NT. Let me know what you decide to do. thanks, David

When the bars start turning green for a long is that pretty much the entry signal? Or do you look at the red bars and see if they are getting smaller? Do you have any tick frames you like to use it on for the ER2? thanks!

I have been watching the first hour initial balance for a few weeks now and I am starting to get a feel for it. On this chart I posted the past 4 trading days. The initial balance is in the first box. I sometimes doubled the box to see how far it would travel up/down the second box in the direction of the trend. When the IB boxes were large it only trended 1/2 way into the second box. When it was small like Friday It doubled the box. Once the IB forms the price seems to make the decision if it wants to trend above/below the box by not going below/above the 1/2 way mark after the IB is formed. When it doubled the box on Friday it consolidated inside the areas of the two boxes. I am very interested in learning more about how to read the first hour IB. Any input is greatly appreciated.

I noticed that too. Thanks!

Hey, that is great! Thanks Walter...

This is what it looks like in TradeStation This is what it looks like in E-Signal. It is the bottom indicator with the red & blue shaded areas. Below is the ELD I downloaded from TradeStation forums. 20061019095907COLBY.ELD

Yes, on E-Signal using this easy language it has a shaded area but not on the trade station version.

I was wondering if anyone here would translate this E-Signal coding into a Tradestation ELD Cloby Indicator. In E-Signal it has shaded area above and below the 0 line but not on the Trade Station eld found on TradeStation forums.

I would be interested in seeing more of TRO's indicators. Does he have another web site that he posts at?

Thanks! I was reading that TRO is no longer able to post in the TS forums. What happened to him? I have never heard of him.
