Stuff from the Launch Pad...

This is just a teeny tiny sampling of what's available for NinjaTrader on the Internet.

Support/Resistance Lines from Data File for V8

Support/Resistance Lines from Data File This code reads support/resistance line data from a data file and draws the lines on a chart. You can access the indicators's line in code from other indicators. This is for NinjaTrader 8 only. See detailed information about it here.

Intraday Colored Time Regions Indicator for V8

Intraday Colored Time Regions Indicator This indicator draws colored regions on an intraday chart for the time period you specify. It appears to work on minute, tick, range, and Renko charts. (That's all I've tried it with so far.) This is for NinjaTrader 8 only. See detailed information about it here.

Vertical Line at Time For V7  For V8

Vertical Line at Time This is a NinjaScript version of a free indicator from emini-watch.com. It simply plots a vertical line at a specified time. You can have multiple lines on a chart, and can set the color, line dash type, thickness and, of course, the time. Click image to enlarge. For NinjaTrader 7 and 8. For multiple indicator panels in NinjaTrader 8, just load the indicator again for the additional panels and set the Panel parameter to the target panel. Multiple times? Just load another instance into the chart and set its time and other parameters.

Opening Range Lines

Opening Range Lines I threw this together when I saw a NinjaScript forum user post a request for an opening range indicator. This is very simple, but it works OK and demonstrates drawing lines from a point in history. See the orange lines in the chart image (range is set fom the open to 10:00 ET). For NinjaTrader® 7. Here's another Opening Range indicator for version 8: Open Range Indicator

Negated Symbol Candlesticks

Negated Symbol Candlesticks Call me crazy, but when I see an issue going up, I think bullish, and when it goes down, I think bearish. Not so with the VIX. Thus, I created this indicator to plot candlesticks in reverse of their natural course. See instructions in the code. Example shows NQ, so it works on any symbol. For NinjaTrader 7.

Neat stuff from elsewhere...

Free NinjaScript Indicators worth note.

Time Zone Colors Colored Time Regions

Time Zone Colors This is a nice time region coloring indicator from a NinjaTrader® support team member, NinjaTrader_Jesse. This colors 3 different time zones. It allows for timezones that cross date boundaries and shows overlapping timezones by merging the 2 time zone colors. It also display the name of the timezone or names of overlapping time zones. It is an update of the ColoredTimeRegions indicator.

Color Zones3 Color Zones3

ColorZones3 I find this submission from photog53 useful. You can color price ranges of interest (support and resistance). Allows you to place text associated with each zone. Good stuff. Ported to NT version 8 by NinjaTrader_Jim.

PDF-XChange Editor

PDF-XChange Editor OK, so this has nothing to do with programming or trading. But I love this app. For a free PDF editor, I'm pretty amazed. Really. You can get the usual, free defacto-standard PDF reader any time, but this app gives you edit capabilities and is a great reader in its own right. I now have a licensed copy as my default PDF tool. If you're still using Adobe Reader, you might want to give this a try.
