]]> In this relatively short video guide we’ll be guiding you through exporting your indicators and strategies in NinjaTrader. Should you want to sell them, or just move them to another system, the export feature is a quick and easy way to move your code over. With the introduction of NinjaTrader 7, you can now protect that code as well, so you won’t have any unwanted viewers of your proprietary code.

]]> With the introduction of NinjaTrader 7, there are several new chart types available to us. One such chart type is the Kagi chart. Invented by the Japense in the 1870′s this time-agnostic chart style gives us insight into the trend of the market. In this video guide, we’ll show you how to create a Kagi chart in NinjaTrader 7, and how to read it once you’ve pulled it up.

]]> NinjaTrader doesn’t store ask and bid tick data by default, so there is no market profile that comes with it. So what we have to do is use a third-party custom indicator or framework in order to enable this functionality. In this video we’ll briefly go over VPOC analysis using the GOM Market Profile indicator and detail how to use it to the best of your advantage.

THE USE OF STOP LOSS OR CONTINGENT ORDERS MAY NOT PROTECT PROFITS OR LIMIT LOSSES TO THE AMOUNT INTENTED. CERTAIN MARKET CONDITIONS MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO EXECUTE SUCH ORDERS. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

]]> One feature of the DOM windows in NinjaTrader 7, is the ability to create a simulated Stop Limit order. This doesn’t sound like much, but it actually allows you to essentially enter a long limit order above the market, and a sell limit order below the market. Could be used for buying and selling off support and resistance. Watch the guide to learn how to enter this trade.
