🔍 How to Create Trading Signals Without Coding: Introducing Markers for NinjaTrader

If you're a trader looking to automate signals without writing code, Markers by The Indicator Store is exactly what you need. This suite of tools for NinjaTrader empowers you to build powerful logic-based signals using a fully visual interface—ideal for discretionary traders, semi-automated systems, or those just getting started with strategy building.

🎯 What Is Markers?

Markers is a collection of NinjaTrader tools designed to simplify the process of generating and using custom signals. You can detect indicator behaviors like slope changes, crossovers, and more—without touching a single line of NinjaScript code.

🧩 Key Tools and What They Do

✅ Marker Slope

This tool detects changes in the slope of any indicator line (e.g., HMA, EMA, SMA). You can set a threshold to trigger signals only when the slope is steep enough—avoiding false entries in choppy markets. Signals can be visual (e.g., background color) or logical (for automated execution).

✅ Marker Copy

Use this tool to clone any indicator’s line so you can reference it elsewhere. For example, you can copy an SMA(100) line and use it as a baseline to compare against price or other indicators.

✅ Marker Crossover

This tool lets you create crossover conditions:

• Price crossing an indicator line

• One line crossing another (e.g., fast vs. slow moving average)

You can also apply distance thresholds, triggering a signal only if the crossover happens with enough “strength” (measured in points or ticks).

🔁 Combine and Automate

All three tools are compatible with each other, meaning you can:

• Detect slope + crossover

• Filter by copy-based distance

• Stack conditions visually
  And if you're using Markers Plus, these signals can be executed live using market or limit orders.

📌 Why Use Markers?

• No coding required

• Fully visual logic

• Works with any indicator

• Ideal for discretionary traders and system builders

• Compatible with automated execution via Markers Plus

How to Detect Multi-Timeframe Confluence in NinjaTrader Using HMA Slope

 Master real-time logic for better trading decisions across charts with different time bases (minute, volume, range, Renko)

Working with multiple timeframes is a common technique in advanced trading analysis. However, combining signals from charts with non-linear bases (such as minutes, volume, range, and Renko) presents a real challenge: these bars do not align in time or proportion.

This post summarizes a video walkthrough where we demonstrate how to overcome this issue in NinjaTrader, using a practical example: tracking the slope of a Hull Moving Average (HMA 50) across four different chart types.

The core idea is to copy the same HMA indicator across all charts, giving each instance a unique name (e.g., HMA_50B, HMA_50R, HMA_50U) to avoid conflicts between global variables.

We then compare the slope in real time by checking if the current bar of each HMA is greater than the previous bar. When all slopes agree (e.g., all sloping up), this multi-timeframe confluence becomes a powerful entry signal.

⚠️ Note: Historical signals can be misleading due to lack of bar synchronization. This method is intended for real-time or playback analysis only.

We also explore how to store each slope condition into a variable (e.g., minutes, volume, range, renko) and evaluate confluence from a separate chart by comparing all variables in a single logic condition.

Finally, we show a simplified version: checking all slope conditions directly within a single formula. This is faster but harder to maintain and cannot be monitored from a central chart.

Why this matters?
Detecting real-time confluence across charts increases confidence in your entries and avoids false signals from isolated indicators.

Mastering the “Input Series” Function in NinjaTrader

 🔍 A must-know feature for every advanced trader and strategy developer

Our latest tutorial dives deep into one of the most powerful — yet often overlooked — features in NinjaTrader: the Input Series.

With it, you can go far beyond basic indicators and unlock serious customization:

📌 What you’ll learn in the video:

• How to apply indicators like SMA using different price components (Close, High, Low, Median, etc.)

• How to build price channels using SMA over Highs and Lows

• How to nest indicators (e.g., SMA of Volume or Max of an SMA)

• How to detect whether an indicator's signal is a plot, which is crucial for automation with NinjaScript, Builder, or Markers

💡 Bonus: We show you how to visualize these nested plots and test if signals are copyable and automatable — a key step in building robust strategies.
