How to Turn the Slope of Any Line into a Filter or a Signal in NinjaTrader 8

Image
Is your moving average going up or going down? That simple question can work in two ways: as a filter (only take longs while the line rises) or as a signal (enter when the line changes direction). Marker Slope, one of the indicators included with Markers, does both, with any line on your chart. This is part of a series of short videos where we explain Markers piece by piece. Key takeaways Marker Slope measures the slope of any line: a moving average, a channel, or an indicator in another panel. The slope is stored in a variable, MySlope by default, that you can use as a filter: longs above zero, shorts below. The same tool creates signals every time the slope changes direction. Apply Threshold turns the slope into 1 and -1, useful for lines that are often flat. Slope Bars smooths the slope and Threshold ignores small moves, two ways to remove false signals. Step 1: add Marker Slope to a line In the video we start with an HMA with a period of 180, but it can be any line...

Automate a Prop Firm Account Without Breaking the Rules

Image
  Most funded accounts aren’t lost to a bad strategy. They’re lost to a late entry, a stop moved because the trade “should come back”, or one more trade after the daily limit. Automation fixes the first two. The limits in Markers Pro 2026 fix the third, as long as they’re set the way your firm counts. Here is how to set them up, step by step. 1. Read your firm’s rules first Before touching any setting, check four things in your firm’s current terms: The daily loss limit , and whether it counts open positions. The maximum drawdown , and whether it’s static or trailing. Whether automated trading is allowed , on the evaluation and on the funded account. Whether trade copiers are allowed. It’s often a separate rule from automation. 2. Use account limits Prop firm rules apply to each account, so the setting that matches them is the account limit : a Max Loss and a Max Profit for one specific account. When it’s reached, only the Markers trading on that account stop. Your other acco...

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

Image
  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...
