so ninjatrader will not support my strategy

now I have to go use tradestation...

why aren't there more indicators for this platform, it is a serious bummer.

The SMI was posted some time back on our forums, please find the exported zip attached...

Hello,

I've been using thinkorswim, and their SMI seems to be much different than any other. I'm switching over to NT, and would like to configure your SMI so that it's similar, if possible. The problem is that that tos just gives values for %d and %k, which are 3 and 5 respectively, while NT gives 4 different values that don't seem to correlate. The two indicators are completely different. Is there some way that the NT SMI can be configured to more closely approximate that of tos?

Thank You

Hi,

Thank you for that indicator. I was able to import and then review, but without the ability to compare I am unable to offer any specific recommendations. Perhaps other users who have Think or Swim can contribute.

It may also be possible to save the chart image from Think or Swim and attach in that manner as well.

I tried saving it in tos but all they have is a print option, unfortunately, no screen shots.

The best descriptive comparison I give is that the NT SMI is almost identical to MACD, while the tos is completely different, giving good signals for short term OB and OS. The values are different also, with tos just giving the %d and k, like most stochastic indicators, while NT has EMA and range values. I don't understand indicators well but I was hoping someone could translate the tos values over to the NT to make the two indicators comparable.

Hello,

I suggest posting the TOS code if that is possible/legal, adding screen shots of what you are talking about and requesting assitance from a volunteer or paid programmer like the ones on this list:

Here is the code from tos:

[edit]

I noticed that the SMI on QuoteTracker is the same as yours, but both of them are too similar to a regular MACD to be very useful.


Here is a link to another thread here that supposedly contains a file similar to the tos SMI, but I think the file may be gone. I wasn't able to use it.

Any help with this is appreciated.

Ahhh

One even I can handle. Here, try this on for size. It seems to plot approximately like the posted TOS chart pic shows. Dan

Yay!!! Thank you

[Tasuki]

Yay!!! Thank you

I'm assuming the SMI plots as expected?

[shali27]

Yes, it looks just like the SMI in tos. Thanks again

I have just downloaded the Version 7. I've looked through the available indicators but did not find the SMI there. I'm assuming this one won't work. Am I also correct in assuming that there is not currently one available for V7 at this time?
