Filter Any Indicator’s Signals in NinjaTrader 8 with the Double-Confirmation Method
When trading in NinjaTrader 8, one of the biggest challenges is avoiding unnecessary trades caused by noisy or false signals. In this tutorial, we’ll show you a powerful yet simple way to filter the signals of any indicator—in this case, the TIS SuperTrail—by applying it twice with different settings.
Why Use the Same Indicator Twice?
The idea is to run two instances of the same indicator:
-
Fast version – generates frequent entry signals.
-
Slow version – acts as a filter to confirm or reject those entries.
By requiring that the fast version’s signals align with the slow version’s trend, you can:
-
Reduce false entries.
-
Focus on higher-quality trades.
-
Keep your trading more consistent.
Example with TIS SuperTrail
-
Fast Settings – Smaller multiplier, closer to price action, generating more frequent long/short changes.
-
Slow Settings – Larger multiplier, smoother movement, fewer trend changes.
How it works:
-
Take long trades only when the slow version is in long mode.
-
Take short trades only when the slow version is in short mode.
-
Ignore all other signals.
Two Ways to Implement in Markers Pro
-
Copy & Filter Signals
-
Copy the fast version’s signals.
-
Add a filter condition based on the slow version’s trend value (+1 for longs, -1 for shorts).
-
-
Custom Logic with Variables
-
Copy both signals as variables.
-
Build a logic condition that combines them.
-
Execute only when the fast signal and the slow filter align.
-
Extra Features in the Latest Markers Pro

-
Responsive Menu – Buttons wrap to a second row if space is limited.
-
Customizable Transparency – See your chart behind the menu.
-
Fixed Menu Order – Keep setup positions stable across refreshes.
