How to Combine Signals From Any Indicator Within N Bars in NinjaTrader 8

Image
  Trade only when two or three signals show up close to each other. How to build signal confluence in a window of N bars with Markers and with Strategy Builder How do you trade only when two or three signals from different indicators show up close to each other? Signals rarely land on the same bar. The solution is a window of N bars, defined by you, where every signal has to be present before an order is sent. This guide shows how to build that window in NinjaTrader 8 with Markers and with Strategy Builder. Key takeaways Confluence means every signal is present inside a window of N bars. To get there, each signal has to stay “on” for N bars after it appears. If the signal has a plot, you can extend it with Sustain in Markers or with the Maximum of the last N bars , in Markers or in Strategy Builder. If the signal is only an object on the chart (an arrow, a triangle, a dot with no plot behind it), you need Marker to Plot , included in Markers Pro. The order goes out when eve...

How to Control Your NinjaTrader 8 Automated Setups From Your Phone with Telegram

  Ten automated setups on a VPS, controlled from Telegram: global P&L, every computer in one panel, Disable All / Enable All and ON/OFF per setup. Ten automated setups, several computers, one phone. When your systems run on a VPS instead of your own computer, the question is simple: how do you know what they are doing when you are away? In this short video we show how Markers Pro answers it through Telegram. The setup: ten systems running on a VPS Everything in the video runs live on our YouTube stream, every day: five setups on NQ and five on the S&P. They don’t run on my computer. They run on a QuantVPS server, so they keep trading whether my computer is on or not. Global P&L from the chart menu As shown in the previous video, you can right-click any Markers Pro menu on the chart and see the global P&L of every instance. That works when you are in front of the platform. Telegram gives you the same information from anywhere. Every Markers, every computer, in Te...

Daily Loss and Profit Limits Across All Your NinjaTrader 8 Setups | The Indicator Store

How to set daily loss and profit limits per setup, per account and across every automated setup in NinjaTrader 8 with Markers Pro 2026. With video. Running one automated setup, a daily limit is simple: the setup stops when it reaches it. Running several, on different accounts or in different workspaces, raises a harder question. Each setup can be inside its own limit while the account as a whole is already past the line your prop firm drew. Markers Pro 2026 handles limits on two levels: one for each setup, and one for everything together. Level 1: a limit for each setup Every Markers instance has its own daily profit and daily loss limit. By default, both are set to $500. When an instance reaches either one, it shows a message and stops trading for the day. This works well because each instance is independent. One Markers can trade longs on one account with its own ATM, another can trade shorts on a different account, and each one respects its own limits. The problem appears when...

TIS_PivotDensity for NinjaTrader 8: Find Where Pivots Really Cluster

Image
 Pivots tend to act as support and resistance, so many traders mark pivot confluence by hand and use those zones for the current session. The further back you look, though, the more pivots you find, and most of them don’t line up exactly: one may sit a few ticks from another. A line on every pivot quickly turns the chart into a wall of horizontal lines. TIS_PivotDensity handles that work automatically. How it works It detects every pivot high and pivot low on the chart. It builds a histogram of how many pivots sit at each price. It smooths that histogram, so pivots that are close but not identical merge into one zone. It draws a level only where the density passes your threshold. The peaks in the histogram are the prices where pivots gathered most often in the past, which is why those zones tend to matter again. Two settings do the work Smoothing: how far apart two pivots can be and still count as the same zone. A setting of 1 draws a line on almost every pivot. Raising it...
