🧠 What is the EDGE Indicator?

 πŸ§  What is the EDGE Indicator?

EDGE is a powerful entry system designed to trade EMA bounces with visual logic and smart filters. Available exclusively at The Indicator Store for NinjaTrader 8, it helps you pinpoint high-probability entries—without writing a single line of code.

🎯 How does it work?

EDGE uses:

  • An Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as the bounce zone.

  • A Donchian Channel to filter market bias.

  • Smart candle-based logic to identify the right moment to enter.

🧩 Two entry modes:

  • Setup 1 – First Touch: The current bar touches the EMA, and the previous one didn’t.

  • Setup 2 – Rejection: The current bar moves away from the EMA, after the previous one touched it.

You can use each setup independently or combine both.

πŸ” Optional filters:

  • Bar color filter: Enter long on green bars, short on red bars.

  • Close confirmation filter: Only trigger signals if the bar closes on the correct side.

  • Repetition filter: Choose to allow multiple signals, or just one per trend or one per side.

πŸ“Š Why EDGE?

✔️ Zero coding required
✔️ Works visually, easy to interpret
✔️ Highly configurable
✔️ Compatible with Logic Builder
✔️ Works on any instrument or timeframe

πŸ“˜ How to Build a Simple Trading Strategy in NinjaTrader Using Standard Indicators

  How to Build a Simple Trading Strategy in NinjaTrader Using Standard Indicators


If you’re just starting out with NinjaTrader or want to create a reliable strategy without coding, this guide is for you. In this post, we'll walk through a simple trading strategy using built-in indicators only — no custom scripts required.


🎯 Strategy Overview

This setup combines a Stochastic Oscillator for signal generation with a Hull Moving Average (HMA) and the Momentum indicator to filter trades based on trend direction. It can be used manually or automated using our Markers tools.


πŸ”§ Tools You'll Need

IndicatorPurpose
Stochastic (K=7)          Entry signals at overbought/oversold
HMA (Period 100)        Trend detection
Momentum   Measures slope of the HMA


πŸ› ️ Step-by-Step: Build the Strategy

1. Generate Signals with the Stochastic Oscillator

  • Set K=7, D=1 (to overlap both lines).

  • Entry signals:

    • Buy: When the oscillator crosses above 20 (leaving oversold).

    • Sell: When it crosses below 80 (leaving overbought).

2. Filter by Trend with the HMA Slope

  • Add a 100-period HMA to your chart.

  • Use the Momentum indicator (Period = 1) to calculate its slope.

  • Trend Filter:

    • Only go long if the slope is positive.

    • Only go short if the slope is negative.

3. Visualize and Automate with Markers

  • Use Markers Copy to bring oscillator and slope data into logic blocks.

  • Create logic for:

    • Long signals: crossing above 20 + positive slope.

    • Short signals: crossing below 80 + negative slope.

  • Apply thresholds if needed (e.g., slope > 2 or < -2).

  • Assign the signals to Go Long / Go Short actions in Markers.

  • Activate your ATM strategy and choose between semi-automatic or full automatic execution.


πŸ“Š Example Use Case

On a trending day:

  • You filter out false signals going against the trend.

  • You get high-probability entries where the oscillator exits extreme zones in sync with trend direction.

  • With automation, trades are triggered without hesitation.


⚙️ Why Use This Setup?

  • No coding required

  • Highly customizable

  • Works with default NinjaTrader tools

  • Easily integrated into Markers for visual logic and full automation.

πŸš€ New NinjaTrader 8 Templates: Optimize Your Charts in Minutes

 πŸš€ New NinjaTrader 8 Templates: Optimize Your Charts in Minutes


At The Indicator Store, we’re always looking for ways to help traders save time and boost their performance. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our new service: Templates for NinjaTrader 8 — pre-optimized chart setups that bring precision and speed to your daily trading workflow.

🧠 What Are These Templates?

The Templates are downloadable .zip files that, once imported into NinjaTrader 8, automatically configure your charts with:

  • Optimized indicators (e.g., Reversal, ATR Trend, etc.)

  • Chart types and timeframes (15-min setups for NQ & ES)

  • Predefined ATM strategies (targets, stops, breakeven)

They’re designed based on real performance data from recent months and are intended to give you a solid baseline for your trading strategy — without starting from scratch.

πŸ“Œ Example: Load the “Reversal NQ 15-min Template,” and your chart is immediately configured with the right indicator, time window, and ATM parameters — all ready for action.

πŸ•’ A Quick Setup – With One Note

Templates are built for Eastern Time (New York/Miami). If you’re in a different time zone — or using a VPS on Central Time, for instance — you’ll need to subtract the difference (e.g., -1 hour). This is the only manual step required.

⚙️ How to Install a Template

  1. Download the template from our website.

  2. In NinjaTrader: go to Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-On.

  3. Select the downloaded .zip file.

  4. Load the chart for the instrument (e.g., NQ 15-min).

  5. Right-click the chart → Templates > Load → choose your template.

  6. Adjust the time zone settings.

  7. Enable long/short and automation on your SIM or live account.

πŸ“Ί Watch the full walkthrough video here:



🧩 What’s Included in the Templates?

Each template is a preconfigured environment that may include:

  • One or more indicators

  • ATM strategy with multiple targets/stops

  • Optimized time window settings

  • Real signal examples from past market performance

⚠️ Note: Some templates require a specific indicator to be installed. If you don’t have it, we offer bundles that include both the template and the necessary indicator.


πŸ”„ Keep Your Strategy Fresh

Markets evolve. That’s why we update the templates regularly based on new data and performance backtests. As a user, you’ll receive notifications when changes are made so your strategy stays relevant.

πŸ’₯ NinjaTrader 8 Indicator: EMA Bounce Signal Generator | Trade Smart & Fast!

 πŸ’₯ NinjaTrader 8 Indicator: EMA Bounce Signal Generator | Trade Smart & Fast!


Welcome back to The Indicator Store! In this video, we introduce the Rebote Indicator, a powerful tool for detecting bounce entries based on dynamic support/resistance behavior.

Rebote” means bounce in Spanish—and that’s exactly what this NinjaTrader 8 indicator does: it tracks price movement away from a moving average, and then waits for the ideal bounce pattern to trigger a high-probability trade.


πŸ” What is the Rebote Indicator?

The Rebote Indicator detects bounce signals off any line you choose (EMA by default), helping traders spot trade opportunities when the market pulls away from a level and returns with momentum.

πŸ’‘ Use Case: Ideal for traders who rely on price action around moving averages.


⚙️ Key Features

πŸ”§ Custom Line Input – EMA, HMA, or any line available on your chart
πŸ“ Space Bars & Space Distance – Define how far and how long price must move away before bounce is valid
🟒 Pattern-Based Entry – Waits for precise confirmation before triggering a signal
πŸ”„ Avoid Consecutive Signals – Optionally filter out back-to-back longs or shorts
πŸ“ˆ Trend Output – Built-in trend plot: +1 for long, 0 neutral, -1 short
πŸ€– Automation Ready – Signals and trend can be automated via Markers or NinjaTrader Strategy Builder


πŸ“Š Flexible Setup Examples (Covered in the Video)

  • EMA vs HMA comparisons

  • Using fewer bars for quicker signals

  • Handling false bounces with pattern filters

  • Switching between long/short setups based on trend logic

πŸ’¬ “The best signals often come from repeating bounce patterns — and now you can automate them.”


🎯 Why Use Rebote?

✅ Works with all market types
✅ Perfect for scalping or swing strategies
✅ Fully compatible with automation
✅ Backtest and optimize with included strategy module
