Hello to all!

Let me introduce one of the indicator I developed for NinjaTrader.

It works nice for trading futures market, but I think it will be also great for stocks.

I will not give full explain about it. Just what I can show you right now:

Red dots on chart - enter short on bar close

Green dots on chart - enter long on bar close.

 

The indicator code is very simple, but using some interesting tips. It also can be re-writed for any platform.

I wrote this indicator for scalping on 5min charts, but it also works nice with higher TF like 60m on 240m and Daily chart.

NASDAQ e50977b4e59c37a3c4e19c0c2f4955a8.png

 

I want to know your opinion about this enter points and answer one more question: Do you want this indicator in your arsenal?

 

Thanks!

This can't be considered a valuable tool for scalping... because you are not scalping. Further; any scalper worth his / her salt can tell you that you are missing the most productive trades of the day. Just looking at the charts you've posted that is obvious.

 

I would say, that if you desire to program an indicator for the purpose of scalping... you need to start over, and go with a faster chart than the 5M (try tick or volume charts).

The model I'm using can be also applied on any timeframe - I told this in the start post.

About "productive trades of the day" - for each trader it's own enter points and best opportunities. And I don't think that all the traders must trade the same way and enter in all of the methods. I think that founding something interesting or new is more usefull for today's trading.

 

Thanks for your comment!

I downloaded and installed your code from this thread.

It is fabulous. No full explanation is needed.

Best free code on the market - at any price!

Thx.

I'm very interested how could you download this code if I didn't upload it on the site. Very funny :)

 

To all who read this topic: i will not give the code or indicator for all of you. I will give the main idea and how to get those enter points to all people a little bit later. I really want to know opinions about those screenshots, your thoughts, your mind...

 

Huge thanks from my team and me to man, who answered this topic and told that we need to check tick timeframe - we didn't tried to check this TF before on this indicator, and we found that it's very usefull - it shows amazing results in real-time tests! Please, write me in PM - we really can develop amazing thing for us!

 

Have a nice weeked for all! Merry Christmas, guys!

Yevhen...

 

Actually, you didn't make the statement that the indicator could be applied to "any" timeframe. You mentioned one other timeframe that the indicator works well on (just for the record).

 

Actually, I would like to change what I said. In several instances you have indicated the most productive trades of the day (I might add that your entries are far more crisp than anything that my methods would have captured...that's impressive... because I'm good at what I do (I am impressed).

 

I bristle just a bit at using indicators for scalping, because all that I've seen either produce too many false signals, or they don't produce enough signals (trades are missed).

 

That's why I don't use indicators...

 

As a point of reference... zdo has said some kind words here, and I do respect the guy. As it stands... I have no interest in the indicator... because, I can do better without it.

 

If it pleases you, and if you would like, please work with the indicator in faster timeframes. Post it... I and others (scalpers) may see the light that you have envisioned.

And here is 1M timeframe:

I'm not saing that this is a graal or something like this, but I have some interesting signals from my own indicator and I want to improve it and share with other. But before share I need to know that everyone are intrested in it or we can improve it together.

 

I started to create my own indicators because I know that all indicators that we have right now in standart versions - they all are not usefull - they shows signals very late. And that's the reason why I started to develop my own things. My concepts to develop the indicator are:

- very simple in calculations

- the less settings we have - the better

- indicator must calcultae current situation on market

- indicator must not be re-calculated

 

And this principles are shown in this little version of my theory. I hope we understand each other. If you want to discuss it more - we can call on skype and talk about it! It will be very pleasent to me.

 

Regards.

Yevhen....

 

I would have to look at the 150T ES chart in more detail, but color me impressed. As I don't have any coding experience I would be of no help in that regard, but possibly I can plant some seeds in your brain from a scalpers perspective. I'll PM you with an email address, and if you would like we can talk further.

 

Nice work, man... you've impressed a die-hard price action trader. I didn't see that coming... cool, you've made my day.

re “zdo has said some kind words here”

jpennyb, my words were sarcastic - not kind.

 

To clarify -

I find nothing wrong with the concepts themselves... Have backtested stuff like this until the cows came home. ...and

I have nothing at all against vendors either. I wish them all the best.

 

However, running Golden C promotions on the Coding Forum sub forum crosses a forum ethics line. This Coding Forum sub forum is only for those who are sharing code with everyone. clearly not what he is doing ... in his own words

To all who read this topic: i will not give the code or indicator for all of you. I will give the main idea and how to get those enter points to all people a little bit later.

 

he continues

I really want to know opinions about those screenshots, your thoughts, your mind...
This means the topic should have been started in the Technical Analysis sub forum ... and this conversation should be moved there now ... (more traffic there btw :))

From there, an appropriate transition to the Commercial Content sub forum could be made for “how to get those enter points to all people a little bit later”

 

... or this could get “very funny” - NOT!

I see no reason to give first version of indicator, cause it's only testing. And if somebody wants to help me - I'll be glad and also will share the indicator here in this topic after it will be ready to work!

I understand... and ...

I do see a reason.

 

Reason: (perceived) golden C / vendor abuses start fights, etc etc and run a surprising number of users off from trading forums like TL,... and traffic on TL is currently ‘sub optimal’... putting it nicely/to say the least...

btw if you didn’t have a golden C accompanying your posts’ contents and phrasing, I wouldn’t have said a word.

... YevhenShynkarenko, not after you personally at all... hope you find something profitable...

 

 

Let’s keep it simple -

If you post code in this sub forum (and ask for help in developing it (or not)) - that’s fine.

If you don’t post code - then get out Easy for you to move the whole conversation to the Technical Analysis sub forum

 

Wishing you all the best,

 

zdo

      Firebird is an indicator to identify the price spikes in the market. Firebird indicator first calculates a 10-period moving average, then shifts this moving average a certain percentage above and below the 10-period moving average. The shifted averages are drawn on chart as the red and green line. When price touches these lines, price spike is identified. Usually after a price spike, the trend reverses for some time. The indicator can be used to take advantage of this price behaviors. In daily chart usually the 10 period MA is shifted by 2 percent to form the price bands. On lower time frames like Hourly, Four Hour a smaller percentage price shift is used like 0.5% . The important consideration here is most of the price bars must be contained within the upper and lower bands.
      When price reaches above the upper red band, a sell position is opened. When price reaches the lower green band, buy position is opened. Trades can be managed with proper stop loss and take profit. In the picture, Firebird indicator is attached to daily chart of EUR/USD with 2% shift on MA. Note that almost all price bars are within the price bands. And when price extends beyond these bands, price trend reverses and comes back into the bands.

      I'm currently using Ninjatrader for my trading. But I have a problem with the Tick Chart and when I use any Indicator. When e.g. the market is very fast or my internet is slow (for a moment), then the value of the candles and indicator is wrong. 
      So I refresh the chart after every finished candle. 
      Does anybody know a software without this problem?

    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too.   Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge. An asymmetric bet.   The red envelope fixed late fees. The yellow button fixed waiting. The orange coin gave billions a choice.   Of course, these types of gains are rare. And they happen only once in a blue moon. That’s exactly why it’s important to notice when the conditions start to look familiar.   Not after the move. Not once it's on CNBC.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
