The Small Range Indicator for Ninjatrader has been finally Automated !
If you like the Small Range Setup, one of the most easy to configure and follow, with the best results, then you will love this automated version :
The PM_Small_Range_Trader strategy will trade the Small Range Setup Signals ( as explained on previous post of this blog ) with the following enhancements :
- We can specify 3 different Time Windows where to place orders, and also define if positions must be held outside those windows
- When we have a signal, the system will place a stop entry order and keep adjusting its value until we get a fill or the signal is gone.
- When the signal is gone without a fill, We can also define the number of bars to keep the order alive. Sometimes, on manual trading I leave the order by just one bar until I cancel it.
Now we can backtest and get the optimal results; on Gold and Crude Oil I found that using 1 bar ( instead of zero ) is the best option.
On the following picture we can see both ; the indicator and the strategy on a trade setup where the usual cancel at next gray bar is outperformed by the strategy by waiting one extra bar before cancelling the order :
This video shows how I manual place orders on 4 different markets ( Crude Oil, Gold, Euro and British Pound ) using the TIS_Small_Range Indicator :
....and on this new video, I show how to auto trade the same 4 Instruments :
Please post any question or comments here !
Good Trading !
Great news Pablo! I love the small range setup, and trade it a lot.I do not take every small range setup, and use certain criteria to take only higher rated ones.Can I manually cancel orders which I do not want to take?

Hi Martin,
DeleteI would say yes, you can cancel the orders you dont like, but in the practice, the order is placed at close of bar...enough time to get a fill at the correct place, but not so much to cancel the order sometimes. I will be adding a semiautomatic function by the addition of "Enable Longs / Enable Shorts" buttons on the toolbar.
By now, I would consider it as a fully automatic strategy.
Regards,
Pablo

ReplyDeleteYes - if you can add a button on the toolbar it will work great, or you can manually enable or disable the strategy as well - basically the same thing
