Epic Profits - NinjaTrader Strategy with 3 or 4 bar play

Great example that outlines two short entries for Epic Profits 3 bar and 4 bar play against MNQ on a 3 min chart.

Epic Profits is based on intrabar trade strategy for NinjaTrader which looks initially for a significant engulfing bar (potentially with higher and increasing volume)... Then waits for bar two or three to not go too high past the first engulfing bar, and also not lower than roughly 50% of the previous bar. At this point a market or stop market order is placed on bars 3 or bars 4 if a new higher high (for a long entry) is reached. 

Many of the variables and specifications align with a mentor and stock guru Jared from live traders (special thanks Jared!). You can find how he designs the trade setup here:

Would love to hear everyone feedback or screenshots of trading the 3 bar play with Epic Profits!

    NinjaTrader - Strategy Analyzer Tips

    * { box-sizing: border-box; } .row { display: flex; } /* Create three equal columns that sits next to each other */ .column { flex: 50.00%; padding: 5px; } NinjaTrader strategy analyzer has many features that you don't always know until after you have worked within the interface for a while... Seven quick tips for working with NinjaTrader Strategy Analyzer...  Epic Tip 1: Whenever you optimize an algo strategy, you can expand the minimum / maximum properties and type in each field, or simply type directly in the textbox.  It can take some work to go step by step through a strategies properties and setup the minimum and maximum values for optimization... but did you know you can also just type in the textbox within strategy analyzer? Option 1: Expand the properties settings and manually enter values for minimum, maximum, and the value to increment.  Option 2: Simply type in the values without expanding. The format is min;max;increment. So to increment values from 50 to 200 in increments of 25 it would look like: 50;200;25 Epic Tip 2: Tick Replay? Maybe not needed with high-fill resolution! Certain algo strategies (including most Epic Collection ...

    Trading TD Ameritrade / thinkorswim with NinjaTrader

    Several customers have been wanting to trade TD Ameritrade / thinkorswim with algo trading and after they initially research this idea... they usually end up in an endless loop trying to backtest using TDA OnDemand (extremely limited), and then they also find out that although Thinkscript is easy to learn and similar to C#, there is no real way to actually enable (at least at this time and likely a while given the Charles Swab merger). So... For these clients some of the suggestions we have been utilizing several setups for Algo Trading with Epic Collection. I do want to point out several pros and cons when algo trading with TD Ameritrade and NinjaTrader: Cons (as far as I know, most of these are all known issues when searching the NinjaTrader forums): 1. TD Ameritrade doesn't provide tick data and doesn't seem to work well with intrabar setups where the stop loss might change over time.  2. Lots of errors pop up (which seems difficult or I can't find a way to disable) for things such as "no shares to short" messages. We ...

    Often we get requests to help with Ninjascript / NinjaTrader 8 indicators and strategies that do not always fit within our required work for engagement... This does not mean we don't want to be helpful! We always encourage algo trading and want to help novices and customers alike with best practices. We will continue to work on videos but are also planning weekly videos on best practices.  Within each of our custom NinjaTrader straegies we often include some basic setup configurations... These include: Wait X Bars from new trading day Wait X Bars from last exit Exit after X Bars  Setup Stop Loss to Breakeven after X Bars Exit after reverse tail (topping / bottoming wick/tail) For the next few months we will continue to post a solution to each of these... for now here are some code examples for this.   Within OnStateChange:    WaitXBarsFromNewTradingDay = 10;   WithinOnBarUpdate:                 if (Bars.BarsSinceNewTradingDay < WaitXBarsFromNewTradingDay && Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat && EnableDebugMode == true)                 {                     Print("RETURNING Bars Since new day ...

  • Crypto Bot Strategy

    I was recently researching specific algo bots for crypto and came across an interesting setup on YouTube…  The setup seems pretty popular and does backtest out pretty well so I decided to develop a free crypto bot for NinjaTrader and offer it to the algo community!  The video that I based the algo bot on is below (Note: we are not affiliated in any way with this organization or content, just providing some backstory as to what the setup is based on). https://youtu.be/xbAQR1e1XY8 The basics for the setup... Add the SSL Channel indicator to a one hour chart … Determine the direction from this (I have included a free NinjaTrader SSL Channel indicator in the download / install). The default settings of “10” are ok for the SSL Channel Period but you can change these in the bot if you desire.  Add an EMA indicator to a smaller timeframe chart (from his video, a 5 minute chart).  For the setup g from this video he is using a 50 EMA, however you can adjust this within the crypto bot strategy to be any EMA ...
