jd Donchian Trader

Here is the Basic Version of the Donchian Channel that I had modified, as far as I know this version is working fine. The screen shot attached will show how I changed the plots as seen. I hope you might be able to use this on any market you trade and is not set to be only used on the ES, everything is rounded to the nearest tick and with the off set inputs you should be able to put on any chart or market.

Thanks to everyone that posts indicators in this section and I'm glad I am finally able to add something I find of value.

I am running this on NT7 so I don't know if it will run on earlier versions

Oscillator, Elders Force Index

A simple and classic momentum oscillator from Dr. Alexander Elder. This optimized version has the same features as the one that was posted on the Ninjatrader forum, with the added option of using the WMA.

However, the version on the Ninjatrader forum, aside from the usual inefficient method of making calls to external classes (that people everywhere, including here are so fond of) also had a crude and primitive method for selecting the types of MA's to be used, which I replaced with Enums. This was one of the worst programmed indicators that I have found so far.

New: K_Trender_TopChart_v2a for ToS

Updated with V2a, corrected only the channel type names (for technical correctness).. Donchian Channel is the Highest/Lowest for a period, which produces a boxy-looking channel.. that's my favourite (google Donchain system). i don't know a technical term for the channel when you take an EMA of highest/lowest which produces a curvy-type channel, so i refer to it as DonchianEMA. the rest is the same .. no calculation changes...

Here's a "Swiss Army Knife" study for fellow ToS'ers .. big thank you to my good forum friend, HGuru, for helping me complete this ...

this is a many-in-1 study, that provides a choice of price channel of many that are commonly used (Keltner, Highest/Lowest, Elder, Keltner, Bollinger..etc), and provide 2 types of signals, based on momentum of 2 EMA lengths of price (Length & Fast_Length):

1 - the primary Momentum signal is based on the main length you set in the study, and is reflected in the color of the price channel itself (green = Up = go Long, red = Down = go short, yellow = retrace or "in-transition")
(pls remember this is momentum and not trend .. though the study has the word "Trender" in the name)

2 - the secondary signal is based on momentum of the fast length EMA. and is only Up or Down. (i would usually take Up position in a green channel or down position in Red channels, so maintain direction with the primary momentum)

there are many other settings we built-into the study to play with and customize for improved visualization. better visual = better decision.. you see in the screenclip how many "personalities" we can get with different options. from settings you can do anything from hiding all elements and leaving only the secondary signals, to fully using it as your trading system, if your system is built around ATR or BB, with the added benefit of the momentum signal. you can combine with other studies you have (i'd suggest a trend following study) for a compact system that won't require lower plots (beside volume if you need it).
the calculation/CPU load this study requires isn't that much, even though it looks packed.

Settings to change length, Fast, Channel Type, the factor for the channel (for BB this would be the StDev, for Keltner the ATR factor, for Shifted EMA's the percentage...etc) - Hide the channel shading, hide/show the lines (the EMA's, the mid-channel, channel bands..etc)

there's an aggressiveness factor built in that we can set - basically this is like saying, "if the Fast Trend is decreasing and becomes less than 10%, this is as good as a negative momentum, and i want to trigger a signal to go short". Leave at 0 until you test this in your own setup and get comfortable with it.

the code is commented, and i'd ask to please keep this study only within BMT as it took a lot of work.

feedback appreciated, happy trading.

XavPriceActionTrend V2

This indicator identifies different market phases based on price action.

Phases
1. Up-Trend: An up-trend is a confirmed range breakout to the up-side, a consolidation continuation, or a down-trend that pulls back Initial Range ticks over n-Periods.
2. Up-Trend Consolidation: An up-trend consolidation period is when a new trend high has not been set in Consolidation Periods, but price has not pulled back Pull-Back Ticks.
3. Up-Trend Pull-Back: An up-trend pull-back is when price has moved down Pull-Back Ticks from the trend high. If price pulls back Initial Range ticks over n-Periods, the market is considered to be in a new down-trend.
4. Up-Trend Breakout: An up-trend breakout is when price moves Breakout Ticks above the current range high. If price remains above the range high for Confirmation Periods, the trend is considered an up-trend.
5. Upper Range: If the current range is at least Tradeable Range wide, and price is in the upper Range Percentage of the range, the market is in the upper range phase.
6. Range: The market is ranging if price is consolidating OR pulling back, BUT has not broken out of the previous high or low n-Periods from that high or low AND price has not moved Initial Range ticks over n-Periods in the same direction as a pull-back.
7. Lower Range: If the current range is at least Tradeable Range wide, and price is in the lower Range Percentage of the range, the market is in the lower range phase.
8. Down-Trend Breakout: A down-trend breakout is when price moves Breakout Ticks below the current range low. If price remains below the range low for Confirmation Periods, the trend is considered a down-trend.
9. Down-Trend Pull-Back: A down-trend pull-back is when price has moved up Pull-Back Ticks from the trend low. If price pulls back Initial Range ticks over n-Periods, the market is considered to be in a new up-trend.
10. Down-Trend Consolidation: A down-trend consolidation period is when a new trend low has not been set in Consolidation Periods, but price has not pulled back Pull-Back Ticks.
11. Down-Trend: A down-trend is a confirmed range breakout to the down-side, a consolidation continuation, or an up-trend that pulls back Initial Range ticks over n-Periods.

Ultimate Oscillator 2

Took a few minutes to improve the function and performance of this "stock" Ninjatrader� indicator. This should give the same results as the Ninjatrader� version but is a lot more efficient and has multicolor plotting. Aside from that there is nothing new here.

Quoting

Developed by Larry Williams in 1976 and featured in Stocks & Commodities Magazine in 1985, the Ultimate Oscillator is a momentum oscillator designed to capture momentum across three different timeframes.

K_TraderRibbon_v1 for ToS

Update: see journal link below for more details on using K_Tarder_Ribbon in multi timeframe.

https://nexusfi.com/trading-journals/21136-learning-journal-redk-trading-options-3.html

This study was inspired by the 9/30 method setup... hope others will find it useful. it's amazing how few lines of code can produce something as effective and nice looking (they don't have to be ugly, you know...

)

The K_Trader_Ribbon is a trend following setup based on 2 crossing-MA's concept.
we use WMA and an EMA of shorter length of that WMA.
the "ribbons" shade the area between the EMA, the WMA, and the midline of the Hi/lo Channel of the WMA.
the price/WMA will be on either sides of that channel depending on up/down trend ..
visualizing it this way hides a lot of unnecessary noise..
we can also better visualize the "buy" area (light shading) and the "exit loss" areas (inside the darker shades or if price penetrates the TrendLine)
added a buy/sell signal (up/down arrow) based on the crossing of the WMA with it's EMA (it provides the earliest signal) beside the color clue (red/Green) for an established trend up or down.

couple of nice visual enhancements to expereiment with(hi-contrast clouds and hide/show all lines) - see screenshots

try different length settings.. i liked 4/3 and 6/3 on a 5min chart..

Adjust length settings based on underlying & time aggregation until you see the price bars penetrating the ribbon to the other side of current trend *just before reversal*, and staying within the ribbon during retraces.. this will be the best settings in most cases..

feedback welcome.. pls keep within BMT.

Thank you,
RedK

XavGlassBoxV1

This indicator is used to analyze the effectiveness of simple automated strategies. The GlassBox dynamically monitors the maximum favorable excursion (MFE) and maximum adverse excursion (MAE) of a recent sample of trade signals produced by those strategies. By manipulating the Target %Profitable, Minimum MFE, and Minimum MFE/MAE variables, the user can then determine which strategies' trade signals are plotted on the price chart.

The Strategies

The strategies tested by the GlassBox are based on eight signals. Four of the signals are "fast" signals; four are "slow" signals. Each of these eight individual signals is itself a strategy, and by combining each fast signal with each of the four possible slow signals an additional sixteen combination strategies are generated.

Signal Inputs

Each of the eight basic signals has five potential inputs.

1) Indicator: The name of the indicator, with its parameters in parentheses.

2) Plot: If the indicator entered in (1) has multiple plots, the name of the plot used for the signal is entered here.

3) Slope Signal: If set to "true", the slope of the indicator plot selected in input (2) is used as the signal. A positive slope will trigger a long position, a slope of zero will signal a flat market position, and a negative slope triggers a short position.

4) Price Cross: If set to true, a long position will be triggered when price crosses above the indicator plot chosen in input (2). If price crosses below the indicator plot a short position will be triggered.

5) Cross Value: If neither the slope signal approach nor the price cross is chosen, the final option is the value cross. When the indicator plot chosen in input (2) crosses above the Cross Value a long signal is generated; when it crosses below a short signal fires.

Strategy Analysis Parameters

1) Trade Memory: The number of trades stored in memory for each strategy.

2) Minimum Bars: The minimum number of bars a trade must be active before it is stored in memory.

3) Target %P: The target percent profitable desired by the user. This is the percentage of the trades stored in memory that reach the Target MFE without going beyond the Target MAE.

4) Slippage: The slippage in ticks per turn used to adjust the Target MFE and Target MAE calculations.

Strategy Plot Parameters

1) Min MFE: The minimum Target MFE that a strategy must reach in order to be plotted.

2) Min MFE/MAE: The minimum Target MFE / Target MAE ratio required for a strategy to be plotted.

3) Plot Averages: If true, the Average MFE and Average MAE of the profitable trades will be plotted as triangles, but only for those strategies that meet the conditions set by Strategy Plot Parameters (1) and (2).

Strategy Plots

The GlassBox will plot entry signals that include an arrow on the entry bar, the Target MFE for the corresponding strategy, and the Target MAE for that strategy. If Plot Averages is set to true it will also plot Average MAE and Average MFE. The plots themselves are coded according to color (for fast signal strategies) and dash style (for slow signal strategies). This allows the user to identify the strategy that is signaling based on its plot.

Fast Signal Strategies
Indicator1 is red
Indicator2 is green
Indicator3 is blue.
Indicator4 is fuchsia

Slow Signal Strategies
Indicator5 is dashed
Indicator6 is dot
Indicator7 is dash-dot
Indicator8 is dash-dot-dot

Combination strategies can be recognized on the chart by combination plots. For example: a combination strategy involving Fast Signal 1 and Slow Signal 1 will be plotted as a red dash.

Signal plots will be removed from the chart if the signal condition fails to remain valid for the minimum bars set by the minimum bars parameter. A sound alert will play if an entry signal is removed from the chart to let the user know that the original signal is no longer valid.
