Free MP for Ninja

The Ninjatrader quest for world domination continues...:)

This is pretty much now totally free MP if you have a compatible Ninja data feed. I'm sure it will get better as its hacked with too.

With release 6.5, they've done pretty well. However, ONE GLARING DEFECT:

no common functions/methods permitted between indicators and strategies....instead, one must maintain 2 COPIES. This is a HUGE software design "no-no".

I really don't understand it....how they "cloned" so much of Tradestation's concepts, yet they FAILED in this one important concept.

SOMEBODY HELP ME OUT HERE !

I'm not really sure what you mean? If you create an indicator you can call it directly in a strategy and you can also create your own library of custom functions/methods to call(user defined methods in the indicator lib).

To me its just a matter of time, it seems like anything can be done but its just a matter of waiting for Ninja to impliment it directly if you don'twant to roll your own work around in c sharp. 7.0 is sopposed to be out at the end of the year and sounds amazing, multi instrument stuff for plotting several series on the same chart in the same window, historic bid/ask..Seems like 7.0 is when it should really come of age.

I think the issue is that the indicator lib and the strategy lib are SEPARATE.

If I write a method/function for an indicator, it must be COPIED to the strategy lib if I need to use it in a strategy.

I've checked with tech support on this and they are aware of it.

Probably will be fixed in 7.0.

In the meantime, it's just an inconvenience.

I really doubt they are going to change this.I really don't see how its less convient and if anything it makes things more modular.

You maintain your indicators and then call them within a strategy..if you figure out down the line a better way to do indicator X, updating every strategy that uses indicator X is nothing more than changing indicator X one time, viola.

There is nothing stopping you from writing everything in strategies though and you would have what you want, but like i said that would seem more of a pain IMO.

This MP indicator really works pretty well.

You can set it up however you want and

Thanks for the link!

I actually use 2 different indicators at the same time on NT. The one you are referring to here is named MarketProfile. I also use another indicator titled MPValues. MPValues draws pricelines and creates price markers for the most recent period on the vertical axis.

 

I like using these 2 indicators - MarketProfile for the developing VA's and shape of the histograms, and MPValues for definitive VA edges and POC's.

 

You can find both in the NinjaTrader support forum, and both are 100% free.

I actually use both MarketProfile and MPValues to confirm them against each other.

 

Also note, you gotta update the MarketProfile Indicator every day with start and end time in the indicator itself, for some reason those values do not persist.
