The Kaufman Eifficiency Ratio is also know as Fractal Efficiency. It can be used as a filter to differentiate between trending conditions and sideways markets.
The efficiency ratio compares the absolute amount of the n-period momentum to the sum of the absolute amounts of the last n close-to-close changes. If all close-to-close changes pointed in the same direction - meaning either n consecutive upcloses or n consecutive downcloses - the fractal efficiency will take the value 100. This is an indication for a strong trend. If the n-period momentum takes the value 0, the fractal efficiency becomes 0 as well, indicating chop.
The fractal efficiency is used by the Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average to identify chop periods.
This version of the Kaufman Efficiency Ratio has a few additional options:
Chopline: I have added a chopline, which depends on the period of the Kaufman Efficiency Ratio. The formula for the chopline is 100/Sqrt(period).
Signalline: I have added a signalline by using a Hull Moving Average(HMA). The market starts trending, when the Kaufman Efficiency Ratio has crossed both the signalline and the chopline from below.
Classic/Balanded: The indicator allows for two different ways of calculating the Kaufman Efficiency Ratio. The 'Classic' option uses the original formula of Perry Kaufman. The 'Balanced' option replaces the absolute amount of the n-period momentum with the absolute amount of the n-period balanced momentum, which is based on a triangular moving average.
Update June 22, 2013: Minor modification to make indicator compatible with indicators/strategies running in COBC = false.
This colors 3 different time zones. It allows for timezones that cross date boundaries and shows overlapping timezones by merging the 2 time zone colors. It also display the name of the timezone or names of overlapping time zones. It is an update of the ColoredTimeRegions indicator.

The indicator calculates pivots from any selectable period of N minutes. The first period starts with the session break. Depending on the indicator period selected the last period of the session can be an odd period. The pivots of the first period will not be calculated from the odd period, but from the full period deducted from the session break.
The default setting of the indicator is 60 minutes. With default settings the indicator will display hourly pivots including the main pivot PP, R1, R2, S1 and S2. Further levels can be added as an option.
The indicator is an easy to understand example of a multitimeframe indicator, as it loads a secondary bar series of 1-min bars, which is used to calculate the intraday pivots. The pivots will therefore always be calculated from a period of N minutes, not depending on the primary bars shown on the chart. If set to COBC = false, the pivot lines may show sligthly earlier, if applied to fast bars plotting during the first minute of the session.
Update January 21, 2012: Pivot range added. The pivots can now be aligned to the start of the trading day or the start of each session as per session template.
Update January 22, 2012: Bug removed. Please reinstall indicator.
Update February 23, 2014: The indicator did not work with datafeeds that do not plot a bar every minute during periods of lesser liquidity. Changed the architecture of the indicator and recoded it entirely.
Update April 28, 2018: The indicator was modified to allow for display of 1-minute pivots.
Risk Reward and Position Sizing Indicator V2.1 (based on original work of Mompere)
Calculates Risk/Reward and Position Sizing for trade planning using horizontal lines drawn at potential trade Entry, Stop and Target. The indicator will automatically update the risk/reward and position sizing on the fly when you select and drag the Entry, Stop, and Target lines.
Position size and risk/reward can be calculated from user input parameters for Trading Account Size, Percent Account Risk per trade, Fixed Dollar Amount per trade, or Fixed Share Sizing.
Click on the "$$" button to display/hide the Risk/Reward analysis.
Now supports dynamic pip value calculation for FX trade position sizing. Works for most cross-pair except for those very exotic cross pair.
Revision:
Jul 29 2013 (ckkoh): 1) Improved position sizing calculation for FX. 2) Enhanced reward risk calculation that includes spread. 3) Customizable line colors. 4) Reduced CPU utilization. 5) Display actual Buy price for Short position.
Mar 29 2012 (ckkoh): 1) Added a button to display/hide Risk Reward analysis. 2) Enhanced the Position sizing to support FX Lots type.

The VHF indicator can be a useful tool as it attempts to measure the “trendiness” of a market. It reveals the strength of a trend, not the trend direction. This filter compares the sum of one-day price changes within a specific time period to the range between the high and low prices over the specified period. The VHF values help identify whether prices are in a trending phase as well as the degree or strength of a trend, where the trader should use trend-following indicators, or if the prices are in a trading range market, a case where congestion-phase indicators (such as
oscillators which work well in trading range markets) should be used.
In theory, the VHF indicator can be used in the following three ways:
1. In determining whether a particular market condition is trending or is in a congestion/non-trending phase: A rising VHF line indicates a developing trend; a falling VHF line indicates prices may be entering a trading range market.
2. To determine the degree or strength of a trend: The higher the VHF line, the higher the degree of trending. A falling line indicates a trend is weak.
3. The use of the VHF as a contrarian indicator: Relatively low VHF values can indicate that prices can be expected to break out of the congestion phase and start trending. On the other hand, relatively high VHF values indicate that a trending phase may be coming to a close and that the market is getting ready to enter a congestion phase.
The indicator displays the Volume Weighted Average Price of the selected session. It can be used on all types of charts.
You can apply the indicators to charts with several intraday sessions. You can then select via indicator panel, for which session the VWAP shall be shown.
ETH session: The VWAP will be calculated for the full session, if ETH is selected via indicator dialogue.
RTH session: It is possible to display the VWAP for the RTH session or the night session. Set indicator to RTH and select the number of the session, for example "First" for the night session and "Second" for the RTH session.
Volatility Bands: The indicators has three different modes to calculate volatility bands. For each of the modes multipliers can be selected.
Variance_Price: The variance is calculated from the selected input values of the price bars and the last known value for the VWAP within the current session. This way of calculating the bands is similar to calculating Bollinger Bands with a variable period starting with the first bar of the session.
Variance_Distance: The variance is calculated from the selected input values of the price bars and the value for the VWAP corresponding to price. It is a variance of the vertical distance of price from VWAP. This method corrects for a trend and produces slightly narrower bands on a trending day.
Session_Range: The quarter range of the current session is used as a measure of volatility instead of the standard deviation.
Public Holidays: For Globex instruments the indicator will display the ETH VWAP for the two-day-session including a public holiday. The indicator is preconfigured for the Globex holiday calendar. If tFriday is a holiday with trade date Monday, it will then be integrated into the following week.
Colors: Different colors can be selected for rising and falling VWAP. Also colors and opacities can be selected for the areas between the inner bands, middle bands and outer bands.
For further details on updates, also see SessionVWAP Daily V43.
Update March 30, 2013: Algorithm improved for both speed and accuracy. VWAP start time can be selected.
Update April 11, 2013: Plot modified for compatibility with charts built from multiple bar series.
Update May 10, 2013: Bug removed, which led to occasional false identification of the RTH session on charts built from ticks.
Update December 9, 2013: Holiday calendar added for 2014.
Update December 28, 2014: Holiday calendar added for 2015. Price markers improved for US interest rate futures.
This is a simple bar timer for minute charts with an added audio alert.
Copy your favourite sound file into the directory -> programs -> NinjaTrader 7 -> sounds. Now enter the name of that sound file and the leadtime in seconds via indicator dialogue box.
The indicator name is "anaBarTimer". Please do not confuse it with the default NinjaTrader BarTimer.
Please note that NinjaTrader 7 does not support wav/MPEG. wav/MPEG files need to be converted to wav/PCM files first.
Update September 20, 2012: Indicator triggered random alerts during off-session times, when no ticks were arriving. Bug removed. Font size of display can now be selected.
Update November 21, 2014: Option added to select the fontstyle (regular, bold, italic ...)
This is same as "MPValues" but works in Ninja 7. I don't know if it works in 6.5.
Wavey gave me the information that allowed me to update for v7.
The values it returns will change if you use it on different time frames. I usually use it on a 30m chart because that will give the same numbers that most people look at. I will transfer the lines to all my charts so that I can trade off these levels if I have confirmation from other indicators.
I circled several of the profitable trades that could have been taken. Of course they don't all work out!
You have to set the start time hour (session begin), start time minute (session begin) and session length.
This indicator package is an old version and there will be no more maintenance. All the features have now been integrated with the SessionPivots indicator that can be downloaded here:
The indicators include an option to display dynamic fiblines calculated from the high and low of the current day, current week or current month.
Right side chart margin: Please set the right side margin under chart properties to at least 100 to allow for correct display of labels.
The indicators use the sessions as defined per session template. This allows you to alternatively display the high and low of the day session or the high and low of the entire session. For the RTH high and low. please use a multi-session (2 or 3) session template. The reference session for the OHL indicator can be selected, so high and low can be taken from first, second or third intraday session.
Hybrid: This is a setting that will identify the RTH session as the third intraday session for FOREX and currency futures, but as the second session for all other instruments. This is a convenience setting, which I personally use, as I have 3-session templates (Asia, Europe, US) for FOREX and currency futures. For all other instruments, I have session templates, where the second session is the RTH session.
Public Holidays: The indicator is preconfigured for public holidays without settlement for trade date next day or later. These holiday session will only be applied to Globex instruments. The Current Day OHL will then be displayed according to trade dates. If you use the indicator for other instruments you will not need to change the settings.
Update May 24, 2011: Signature changed for GetNextBeginEnd(), indicator did not always plot. Now the new signature is used for OnBarUpdate() and the old signature for Plot() Override.
Update June 21, 2011: The indicator now works with half-pip FOREX feeds. Indicator dialogue box improved.
Update July 19, 2011: Adapted to half-pips FOREX feeds, dialogue box improved, plot serialization changed.
Update December 10, 2011: Label size is now adjustable. Globex Holiday Calendar for 2012 added.
Update January 6, 2012: Holiday fields added for anaCurrentOHLV38

>>>End Revisions 11/1/15<<<
The two indicators provided, the Decycler Oscillator and the Simple Decycler, are based on the writing of John F. Ehlers published in the September 20015 issue of Stocks & Commodities magazine. The implementation used as the basis for this version was provided by NinjaTrader(NT). Although both indicators are contained in the download they are described separately. This entry describes the DecyclerOscillator.
The screenshot shows the DecyclerOscillator with modified version of the SimpleDecycler set to appear like the NT provided version (which can be downloaded here). Installing the NT version will not disturb the indicators provided as they are prefixed with “fpg”.
In the article Mr. Ehlers describes a class of filters known as high-pass filters which “allow the high-frequency components in the data to pass through to the filter output, and reject the low-frequency components”. He goes on further stating, “Since high-pass filters have very little lag, here is the trick to computing a decycler: Subtract the high-pass filter output from the data input.” This is performed in the partner indicator, the SimpleDecycler. He also states that, “You can virtually eliminate lag by getting rid of those low-frequency components.”. Both indicators contain the same algorithm (which is left to the interested math and EE gurus to figure out what he is doing) for identifying the high-pass frequencies.
The article states that the oscillator is useful when two instances , with different parameters, are placed in the same sub-graph. The NT implementation requires this to be done manually which, among other things this modification can do optionally. There are 2 controlling parameters, the HPPeriod (default 125) and the K value (default 1). According to the article, “The second instance is plotted at 80% of the HPPeriod with an input K value of 1.2. The basic idea is to compensate for a 20% reduction in cycle period with a 20% increase in the amplitude swing (the K value) of the indicator.”.
Ehlers notes that “there will always be some whipsaw conditions, but these are relatively easy to remove with other conditional statements in the code.”. Unfortunately he does not offer any suggestions here. Another important item to note, the default HPPeriod is set to the value of a half year on a day chart, likely being used for detecting cycle reversals on stocks. However as further stated in the article, “Decyclers and decycler oscillators can be used over a very wide range of input filter parameters”, but here too he offers no suggestions. This will be an experiment to be conducted by the user. However, setting it too low does introduce choppiness.
Enhancements:
1. The ability to request either the Slow, Fast, or Both plots (the “Plots Type” option).
2. Automatically adjust the fast indicator parameters by the specified percent (the “Percent” option) or to use the parameters specified by the user (the “ AsSpecified” option).
3. Three signaling options are provided: Off, Basic, and Extended (experimental for Bloodhound users). The Basic option provides the standard IntSeries values for the crossing (1, 0, -1). Extended signaling is described in the BloodHound thread here.
4. Optional smoothing for both the Fast and Slow Plots
Caution:
If the Extended signaling option is selected additional but non-conflicting signals are sent to the same IntSeries used by the Basic signaling option.
Credits with my thanks to:
1. @Zondor and @Aligator for a formula used in the Extended signaling
2. @Jack22 for the formula and supporting code.

Places trade targets ruler on chart and calculates risk/reward/position sizing for trade planning, review and management, using Van Tharp style Risk based position sizing
Setting Lines:
- Middle mouse button click above/below any bar shows ruler for long/short respectively
- Shift-Middle mouse button sets entry line
- Control-Middle mouse button sets stop line
- Alt-Middle mouse button sets target line
Moving Lines:
- Lines can be selected and moved separately
- CTRL-ALT locks line relationships. Moving one line moves all lines together
- CTRL-ALT again unlocks line relationships
Clearing lines:
- The same key combination on a displayed line, erases that line
- Middle mouse button click on vertical line of the displayed ruler, erases the ruler.
- Control-Alt-Shift Middle mouse button erases all lines
- Unlimited stops and targets are allowed
If no entry/stop/target lines are explicitly set, then they are defaulted to high/low/close of the associated candle.
...
To change position sizing calculations:
- Change AcctSize, AcctRisk, and FixedShares user parameters
- or specify them in the line input boxes on the chart as follows:
100 => means trade a fixed size of 100 shares/contracts
$100 => means max stop loss size is $100
2% => means risk only 2% of AcctSize
Nice colored Stochastics Indicator. Set it at 4,8,1 for daytrading and you will hit the high and low peaks really well. I have been using for a while and didn't see one like this posted on the site so hear it is.
dsFibConfluence is a NinjaTrader indicator which draws Fibonacci extensions from various high and low pivot points. The random lines create what is commonly known as the fib cluster or the fib confluence points. The Fibonacci confluences acts as a good support/resistance points.
dsFibConfluence uses the Zigzag function to detect the pivot points, and uses the pivots to draws three fib extention levels. One at 161.8%, the other at 261.8% and the last at 423.6% of the swing.

Here is another favorite of mine. I call it the 'Zelma Velma'. It's actually a zero lag exponential moving average crossing a variable moving average, but that just doesn't roll off the tounge like Zelma Velma!
This indicator signals when the ZLEMA line crosses the VMA line. The signal comes in the form of background flooding.
The ZLEMA line shows rising and falling colors (selectable). The background flooding can be turned on or off. The color of the background flooding is selectable. Not everyone likes my green and red background flooding.
Calculates Risk/Reward and Position Sizing for trade planning using horizontal lines drawn at potential trade Entry, Stop and Target. The indicator will automatically update the risk/reward and position sizing on the fly when you select and drag the Entry, Stop, and Target lines.
Position size and risk/reward are calculated from user input parameters for Trading Account Size, Percent Account Risk per trade, Fixed Dollar Amount per trade, or Fixed Share Sizing.
Press CTRL-ALT to lock the lines to their current prices, now moving one line will move all the other lines together by the same amount, keeping the same ratio between all the lines.
Press CRL-ALT again to unlock the lines.
Bill William's Acceleration Deceleration is a relative of the MACD, but it uses the Awesome Oscillator instead of the raw MACD. The signal line is obtained by smoothing the Awesome Oscillator via a simple moving average with the period 5.
This indicator can be used as a MACD histogram, which is built from simple instead of exponential moving averages.
This indicator allows to detect narrow range bars, inside bars, wide range bars, outside bars and triangles. The bar types follow the terminology presented by Toby Crabel in his book "Day Trading With Short Term Price Patterns and Opening Range Breakout". The triangle is a pattern made popular by Linda Bradford Raschke, also see here: https://nexusfi.com/ninjatrader/27847-linda-bradford-raschke-three-bar-triangle.html
These are the patterns that can be identified with the indicator with default settings:
Narrow range bar (NR7): a bar with a smaller range than the prior 6 bars
Narrow range inside bar (IB4): an inside bar with a smaller range than the prior 3 bars
Narrow range inside bar (IB7): an inside bar with a smaller range than the prior 6 bars
Double inside bar (DI4): an inside bar that is preceded by an inside bar and which has a smaller range than the prededing 4 bars
Wide range bar (WR7): a bar with a larger range than the prior 6 bars
Wide range outside bar (OB4): an outside bar with a larger range than the prior 3 bars
Wide range outside bar (OB7): an outside bar with a larger range than the prior 6 bars
Three bar triangle (LBR): a bar which lies inside the combined range of the prior two bars
Each of the patterns above can be selected an unseleceted. It is not recommended to display all the patterns at the same time on an intraday chart. The different patterns can be shown as text, diamonds or paintbars.
Simple inside bars: When the parameter "lookback inside bars" is set to 2, the indicator will detect all inside and double inside bars without taking into account their range size relative to preceding bars.
Simple outside bars: When the parameter "Lookback outside bars" is set to 2, the indicator will detect all outside bars.
The indicator comes with sound files which are part of the zipped file. The sound files can be extracted and copied to the directory C:\program files (x86)\NinjaTrader 7\sounds. The sounds will work with COBC=true and COBC= false. With COBC= false, wide range and outside bars are detected intra-bar, while narrow range, inside bars and triangles are detected after the bar has closed.
Indicator prints unlimited number of user defined reminders on the occurring bars on the chart. Also works on historical bars. I mainly use it to remind me of scheduled Economic Reports, and other miscellaneous times, and daily tasks. Reminders list only has to be entered once. An unlimited number of reminders can be used. Use '\n' to insert a new line in the displayed text.
Schedule is in the following format, one line per entry, in 24 hour military time:
Example: THU @ 08:25 Jobless Claims report => Every Thursday at 8:25am, print the specified text on the chart
Example: 3rd THU @ 09:55 Philly Fed Report => 3rd Thursday of every month at 9:55am, print the specified text on the chart
Sample entry list:
WED @ 10:25 Crude Oil Inventory Report
THU @ 08:25 Jobless Claims report
1st FRI @ 08:25 Unemployment report
3rd THU @ 09:55 Philly Fed Report
4th TUE @ 09:55 Consumer Confidence \n Report
Daily @ 07:00 London Session Lunch
Daily @ 09:30 New York Open
Daily @ 16:00 Market Close
Nov 11 @ 14:00 FOMC 2:15pm
1st Day of Month @ 9:55 ISM Mfg Index
2nd Thu of March @ 8:00 Contract Rollover
The Momentum BB Lines is an indicator, which is similar to the MACD BB Lines. However, it is not based on the MACD, but on a smoothed, balanced momentum.
The balanced momentum is obtained, when the input value one period ago is replaced with a triangular moving average. This avoids that wide ranging bars which drop out of the momentum calculation have an impact on the momentum line.
The balanced momentum is exponentially smoothed with a selectable smoothing period. The BB Lines are Bollinger Bands, which use the same period for the standard deviation as is used for the balanced momentum before smoothing. The Bollinger Bands are applied to the smoothed momentum.
Different colors can be selected for a rising and falling smoothed momentum and for dots outside and inside the Bollinger Bands.
The indicator has an option to plot paint bars showing whether the smoothed momentum is sloping up or down and whether it is outside or inside the Bollinger Bands.
This is a simple indicator that colors the background of your charts according to the current session template.
To use the indicator you first need to create a session template that reflects the different intraday sessions. The chart shows Crude Oil using the following session template (all times are EST for NYMEX)
Night session: 6:00 PM - 9:00 AM
RTH session: 9:00 AM - 2:30 PM
Evening session: 2:30 PM - 5:15 PM
Select the session template as your default template via instrument manager and display all charts with <instrument settings>. When toggling between instruments the chart will now select the appropriate session for your instruments automatically.
This indicator is an implementation of the Second Entry concept as used by VinceVirgil on the CL and Mack on the ES (over at his PATS website). It is intended as a training aid and does not cover the more hard-to-spot obscure occurrences of Second Entries. One of the reasons for releasing this is to get input from more experienced users of Second Entries and, if possible, to try and refine the indicator based on this.
It implements the "classic" version of a Second Entry where the first and second entries tick above (or below) the previous bars. The indicator can optionally highlight the new high/low (the start of the "pattern") with a diamond, the first entry (with a dot) and the second entry (with an up or down arrow). The indicator displays the bar where a second entry may occur and deletes the symbol(s) if the bar does not tick above (or below where appropriate) the previous bar.
The indicator has the following parameters:
AudibleWarning - if this is true and there is a .wav file in the NT sounds folder called "SecondEntry_Warning.wav" then it will be played when an up or down arrow is displayed. NumTicks - this is the number of ticks above/below the open of the bar that the up/down arrow is displayed. ReqTickHFirstEntry - if this is true then a bar has to tick above (or below) the previous bar to constitute a first entry. If false then a bar at the same price as the previous bar will count as a first entry. ShowFirstEntry - if true then a dot will be displayed to indicate the first entry bar. ShowHistory - if true then the drawing objects will be left on the chart indicating previous Second Entry "patterns". ShowPatternStart - if true then a diamond will be be displayed above/below the new high (for Second Entry Longs) or new low (for Second Entry Shorts).

Originally ported from MetaTrader, I found this in one of BMT's threads & made some slight modifications to it. I found the original bar size and font size a little too small for my large monitor and decided to add a "bar size multipler" and "font size multiplier" to enlarge the size of the color bars as well as the font.
Other older members, who, like myself, may have a difficult time seeing small objects on a chart, may find this helpful.
You can increase the size of the color bars, the font, or both.
This version (V2) of the DetrendedPriceOscillator (DPO) provides performance improvements and new features. My thanks to @Zondor for his code enhancements and suggestions.
This indicator has been exported with Ninja Trader 7.0.1000.22.
The version has been modified for use with BBand2_V4 but can be used with V3 except for the ability to be able to keep all of the MAs in sync between the 2 indicators.
A more complete description of the use and purpose of this indicator can be found in the original post contained below.
The V2 changes are as follows:
DPO_V2 provides:
1. Additional MA selections to allow the MAs to be kept in sync with those provided in BBands2_V4.
2. Restructured the code to provide reusable instances of external indicators. (Thank you @Zondor)
3. Provide the mode “Both” which will create both the Fast and Slow plots in the same panel. In this mode there are 3 region colors, Fast, Slow, and the union of the Fast and Slow. The 3rd color is the blending of the selected Fast and Slow colors. (as shown in screen shot with BBand2_V4)
4. The periods for Fast and Slow are now independent parameters to allow for mode switching.
5. The selected period is rounded to an odd number to allow a true midrange number to be used in the DPO algorithm.
6. Added lines (.5, -.5) for possible breakout signal
7. Changed default plot line and region colors for better contrast when the “Both” mode is selected.
Information from original Post follows
This indicator was written to support the strategy described by Barbara Starr, PhD in the July, 2014 edition of Stock & Commodities Magazine in an article entitled Profit With Dual Oscillators & Bands. In the article she describes her technique for trading using a Dual Band Bollinger Band indicator with different standard deviation settings then normally used, and two instances of DetrendedPriceOscillator with different period settings.
She also described that her investigation of the DPO indicators available revealed that depending on the trading platform used there were 2 different formulas used in this oscillator. Ninja Trader does not provide a DPO with their software and although NT tech support provided 2 versions that were posted on their website neither matched the formula in the indicator she described in her article.
The indicator provided here allows the user to:
1. easily configure the visual aspects of two instances of the indicator.
2. choose from multiple MA types.
3. use optional region painting
4. use smoothing
To configure DPOs as shown in the screenshot install 2 instances of the indicator and on the second instance set DPOSpeedRate = Slow. The plot color, region fill color, and the MA period will be set for the slow DPO as shown. The default MA is set to SMA on both.
The screenshot provided shows the 2 instances of the DPO, one fast (9 period) and the other slow (20 period) along with the BBand2_V3 Bollinger Band indicator which has been posted and described separately. Although the BBand2_V3 indicator is shown here any dual Bollinger band indicator may be used with the inner band set to 1 stand deviation and the outer band set to 3 standard deviations.
In Ms. Strarr’s write up when the 9 period DPO price crosses the zero line the price is near the BB mid-range MA, it is a potential entry point for more aggressive traders, whereas when the 20 period DPO crosses its zero line the price is near/on the 1 std. dev. BB line it is a potential entry point for less aggressive traders. She is quick to point out that fake outs can still occur. Also, in her article all of the examples were with stocks and no mention of its effectiveness was mentioned for any other instrument.
I would be glad to provide other information from the article in a separate thread if anyone has interest in experimenting with this strategy, but cannot post the full text of the article. I have not traded live with it yet and have done only limited back testing as of this post.
Change Log: Date_______Description
06/30/2014 Fix minor problem with default colors when switching back and forth between Fast and Slow
Note: Other then on the initial switch from Fast to Slow the period must be changed manually if/when going back.
07/02/2014 Fix problem with changed region paint colors not being retained after workspace or NT is closed.
08/17/2014 Version 2 released.

This indicator was posted by PFSMedical
He requested it be converted to NT7
It appears to be a very interesting divergence spotter in that it plots the number 1 position and then all subsequent divergence points.
The updates seem to be working correctly at first glance. If something else is not behaving properly please let me know
PFSMedical post is as follows:
this is an indicator that measures divergence ..... it was developed for ninja 6.5 by a person no longer trading...
it measures peaks in the stochastics, and numbers them .... on both the indicator, and price...
since i'm a trader, and NOT a programmer/coder .... i have given up on trying to convert this myself to the new ninja 7 format ...
would like to have this converted to ninja 7 by someone who actually enjoys doing that kinda thing ....
This is a Level 2 indicator similar to the EDS Level II indicator.
improvements:
- faster
- shows the biggest orderlevel when clinched
- ask- and bid-aggregate-sum
- changes in settings stay permanently, also after restarting NinjaTrader
Version 1.0 final.
a friend of mine programmed it, he is a german programmer.

XTL is an indicator that originally was introduced in eSignal Advanced Get. This a version that approximate in a good way the original version (which formula seems to be secret and not shared by eSignal company). It helps you to easily define in what kind of trend you are.
Its calculation is based on CCI and a fixed value of that indicator:
- if CCI value<-fixed value you're in a short trend (red bars);
- if -fixedvalue<=CCI<=+fixedvalue you are in a non trend/flat period (black bars);
- if CCI>fixed value you're in a long trend period (blue bars);
In this version created by me you can customize:
- the fixed value (standard setting is 37)
- CCI period (stardard settings are 21 or 35)
- uptrend/flat trend/downtrend bar color
Very useful if used on tick chart or range bar chart
v 1.00 2015 Jul 8 - First Release, no bugs
v 1.01 2015 Jul 14 - Added Public Indicator Value String
This is a simple indicator, which detects new highs and lows. The highs and lows can be shown both as paintbars or as diamonds.
The definition of a new high can be either based on the bar high or the bar close. A new high based on the bar high is the highest high over the lookback period. A new high based on the bar close is the highest close over the lookback period. The same logic is applied to new lows, which can also be calculated from the bar lows or the bar closes.
With default settings the bar detects new 89-bar highs and lows.
The indicator works on both candlesticks and OHLC bars.
Update August 10, 2013: New highs and lows can be either based on high/low or on the close of the current bar. Highs and lows can be either shown as paintbars or as diamonds. Efficiency of algorithm improved.
Here is a simple mod to the Fat Tails anaRegressionChannel with slope up/down colors. For more information see the original indicator here.
4/26/12 - Replaced with a version that allows the lines to have the correct colors as the chart is scrolled. Originally it was just a real time indicator.

this is an auto trendline indicator that was on the Ninja forum. Be sure to click true for all of the downtrend/uptrend settings and to fix the colors of the lines for up/dwn trend.
it would be great if we had the ability to adjust the width of the lines. alas in this one the width is set.
it doesn't cast an arrow like our old auto trendline which is helpful for me but it might be a nice option if anyone goes to improving it.
mostly i like that it shows the squeeze of trendlines by plotting overhead lines as well. on the 3 minute ES i'm using the setting of Long Term Period: 9 and Short Term Period of: 90 i know that sounds crazy but that's what gave me the screen shot attached. hope it helps.

June 12th, 2014 02:26 PM schapps99 I don't see anywhere to enter the sound file or alert lead time in the indicator dialogue box? Not sure to code matches
January 18th, 2017 04:22 PM ronturner I think that this is also called the caos awesome oscillator. Some use this to identify wave 3 (strongest, ie highest o
r lowest crest) to identify wave 3. The next crest would show divergence (weaker) for wave 5 or the end of that impulse
ive wave.
January 27th, 2016 04:01 PM Trailer Guy Wow, this really works well on my 20,000 tick es chart. I don't understand the point of the color changes but that is O
K. If you want to see how someone uses this for counting go to studyofcyclesblogspot and see how the "Elliot Trader" co
unts. I just like the way it says "this move is over".
September 4th, 2013 01:47 AM poodman looks like the Awesome Oscillator, maybe it will be easier to install and use
July 15th, 2013 03:32 PM teamtc247 Awesome indicator for convergence/divergence.

August 13th, 2012 08:26 PM Don Laing Great a welcome addition. Being a lousy programmer how do I use /n to add lines?
January 31st, 2012 04:27 AM Klausi This is a great help in every day's trading. You are reminded of all session opens and ends as well as of all FOMC + con
tract change dates, also to any custom - dates of your choice, whenever you have added them to the string array.
March 8th, 2017 04:54 PM allsensi Amazing, so b.. useful. Just a comment, would be nice to explain a bit how it works, took me about 15 minutes! But it wo
rks fantastic, and the most useful tool for me is how it calculates how many lots depending on max loss acceptable. Than
ks again.
