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.

It looks like finding the Gridiron Pivots is like looking for a needle in a hay stack. Could you post it for me? thanks, David

Hi Robert, thanks for the help and the indicators. Somehow I missed the gridiron indicator. I am going to see if I can find it on TS forum. thanks, David

Well, I just subscribed today to Radar Screen to try out your indicator. I have seen a lot of post on TS Forum about the Motherlode indicators Avery wrote. Are you familular with his stuff? Also, since I am a Radar beginner do you have any tips or other favorite indicators you might sugest? thanks, David

Hi Robert. I installed this in radar Screen. Looks great. I am not sure I understand what each cell 1 thru 6 is telling me. Can you explain that to me? thanks, David

Here is how you trade the trend lines on my previous post. You find a trend like on the ER2 this morning. Draw trend lines from the tops of the price bars. I use a jtHMA and when I see a slight pullback in the jtHMA I am ready to enter the trend. My entry is where the pink arrow is. Then my exit is when it breaks the continuation of that trend line. I had to draw 1 additional trend line to follow the trend. Sometimes these trends go for several points. I hope you can see my entry and exits on the second picture.

That is what I need to learn how to calculate so i can draw them in too. Is that on this web site?

Yep, thats my trading chart. I made $400 off that chart today. 3 trades no losses.

Soultrader, how do you get the VAH to plot on the chart as a line?

Hi Soultrader... I was finally able to view the video. I am not familular with the pivot break indicator. Is it on this forum? thanks, David

I usually draw trend lines and when the price breaks the trend lines I am in a trade that direction. I get out on the break of the next trend line. I use a method of finding the trend line points. A to B equals C to D. THen I draw the trend line from A to C. I tried to post a picture but it would not post. It is up-loaded though. If you can post it for me soultrader it would be much appreciated.
