Double Exponential Moving Average

[Kevin21]

Hey,
i'm very interested in using ninja trader, as it looks like meets my requirements to the T. However there is one problem. NJ doesn't seem to support the Double Exponential Moving Average indicator, which is a key part of my analysis. Is there anyway of adding it?


Many thanks

Kevin.

I just created a double EMA indicator that you can use.

Hey,
cheers for that. Also do you get the market replay feature in the free version?

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

Yes, you get every piece of functionality in the free version. The limitation is that you can't execute live orders through a brokerage account.

how do i access it? i went to help and followed the instructions, but the boxes it highlights in the options on the video are not present on my ninja trader

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

Make sure you are on the latest version which is NT 6.0.1000.4. In the Control Center window, there is a File > Utilities > Import NinjaScript. Import the file.

[Kevin21]

there's nothing in there... just empty folders

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

You need to download file/archive from link below to your local disk and navigate by File > Utilities > Import NinjaScript to the directory you copied that file/archive to.

which link :confused: Also, i'm looking into trading COIL (brent crude oil futures) Does NT support it? My data feed has it...

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

- see link below: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/v...ead.php?t=2804 (http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/vb/showthread.php?t=2804)
- NT is not a market data vendor nor broker. NT supports various market vendors and broker technologies.

Please ask your preferred vendor/broker if they support COIL.

there's nothing there about market replay :confused:

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Not sure I follow. Please post questions not related to the topic of this thread in a new thread.
Market replay is not a data provider nor broker technology. This is the data you recorded from a data provider or broker.
FYI: Sim feed is a simulated data which you won't find on the list either, since it's not a real feed.

Hello, everyone,

I realy like using of NT, it's realy great sw.

I would like to ask you if you can give an advice about EMA indicator.

How can I set up this indicator for changing colors with move up (green), move down (red)?

thank you very much for your reply.

PS - sorry for my english. :-)

Zdenek,

You will need to create a multi-colored plots version of the indicator. Please take a look at this: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/vb/showthread.php?t=3227

Thank you very much, Josh.

one more question - is this EMA or SMA?

thanks.

[NinjaTrader_Josh]

Not sure what you mean. The reference sample is SMA, but that is irrelevant. You can take the concept highlighted by the sample and use it with anything you want.

[ZMaxx]

sorry for my stupid question. I don't work with SMA but with EMA and I don't know how can I take this concept and join it with EMA.

Can I set up current configuration (re-write current code)?

thank you.
Zdenek

[NinjaTrader_Josh]

You can rewrite the code. In the code you will see SMA throughout the code. Simply change all of it to EMA and that will do the trick.

[ZMaxx]

I have just re-written SMA to EMA in the code and it's working.... :D

Nice work, Josh! Once again for your help.

is there a reference to help explain the concept behind a double MA. i use VWMA and would like to implement but dont understand the math behind the indicator or the best use of the ratios of ma1 and ma2

[NinjaTrader_Josh]

I would search google for some references for these concepts if you cannot find anything here.

[trader1512]

anyone who may have experience with using this method, it would be interesting to hear from you in this thread

Can anyone there could help or give me tips in building an EMA with the smoothing capability of ZeroLagMACD?
