Does anyone have the squeeze indicator

Hello all,

Does anyone have the Bollinger band and keltner squeeze indicator for Ninjatrader. So anyone having a copy can please help.

thanks

Re: Does anyone have the squeeze indicator

This is interesting. NT may have pulled their version of the Squeeze indicator after TTM started developing in NT.. http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/v...hlight=squeeze

For those who find this indicator of use, the original opensource code was created by Nick and eKam over at the TS forum before TTM copied it. There is a TS version here in TL: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/for...ation-662.html

eSignal version:
Code:
function preMain() {
    setStudyTitle("FPSqueeze");
    setCursorLabelName("FPSqueeze", 0);
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.blue, 0);
    setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_HISTOGRAM,0);
    setDefaultBarThickness(4,0);
    
    //addBand(0,PS_SOLID,1,Color.black,"zero");
    
    var BBlow=null;
    var BBhigh=null;
    var KClow=null;
    var KChigh=null;
    var Mom=null;
    var vHigh=null;
    var vLow=null;
    var vClose=null;
    
    var fp1 = new FunctionParameter("nMA", FunctionParameter.NUMBER);
    fp1.setName("Squeeze Moving Average");
    fp1.setLowerLimit(1);
    fp1.setDefault(20);
    
    var fp2 = new FunctionParameter("nSD", FunctionParameter.NUMBER);
    fp2.setName("Standard Deviation");
    fp2.setLowerLimit (1);
    fp2.setDefault(2.0);
    
    var fp3 = new FunctionParameter("nColorSqueeze", FunctionParameter.COLOR);
    fp3.setName("Squeeze Color");
    fp3.setDefault(Color.red);
    
    var fp4 = new FunctionParameter("nColorAction", FunctionParameter.COLOR);
    fp4.setName("Action Color");
    fp4.setDefault(Color.lime);
}
function ATR(nInputLength) {

    var dSum = 0;

    var dH = high(0, -nInputLength);

    var dL = low(0, -nInputLength);

    var dC = close(-1, -nInputLength);

    if (dH == null || dL == null || dC == null) {

        return;

    }

    for (i = 0; i < nInputLength; ++i) {

        var vTrueHigh = Math.max(dH[i], dC[i]);

        var vTrueLow = Math.min(dL[i], dC[i]);

        var vTrueRange = (vTrueHigh - vTrueLow);

        dSum += vTrueRange;

    }

Re: Does anyone have the squeeze indicator

thanks thrunner for helping out--

but was the code originally written by NT or someone put there as an opensource code ?

still interested if someone has a copy of the old NT C# code, that would really help.

thanks

Re: Does anyone have the squeeze indicator

Don't think so, I simply renamed a few variables and stripped stuff from the description.
Shouldn't cause difficulties, although my own code hardly ever runs the first time I try it .

LOL, because you know you are a gentleman and you like to see NT traders do well. It kinds of bugs me that NT developers will cave in to the likes of Carter and Senters who obviously have taken from the open source programmers and personally profited from them without contributing back to the programming community at large. I also don't blame Ant (Antonio) for not releasing his market profile code because you know the same thing would have happened - programmers get nothing and the marketeers profit.

NT 6.5 has this new export format call ntns, attached please find the file squeeze.zip containing squeeze.ntns for those who can't get the source to compile properly. This file was zipped because attachments on TL probably don't allow ntns yet.
