Price Target (target 1/2/3) and StopLoss Indicator

[to_ankit]

Hi guys,

I'm from India and I have been using Ninja trader for past 1 year. I have few indicator incorporated on my charts which helps me to enter in a trade (buy or sell), however, one important thing missing is the TARGET PRICE AND STOP LOSS indicator.

I have seen few posts which indicates some calculation like
TARGET = ATR(14)*2 or similar . Will anybody help me out?

Looking for an answer! Thanks!

Welcome to our forums here - have you looked already through our sharing section where users post custom developed scripts? There's an ATR trailing indicator for example that could be likely modified to suit your needs - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...rch=ATR&desc=1

Dear Bertrand,

Yes, I did some research in finding some pre-built indicator for Target and Stoploss, however, couldn't find any.

Would appreciate if you could help me out finding the one!

The ATR Trailing stop one would be for example one you can check out.

Pls post the link

Please click on my link shared in post 2 - the ATR trailing indicator is then found under the 2nd entry in the list you would see.

Thanks for the link!

But ATR trailing SL indicator shows only stoploss... Is there any indicator which can show the target price based on ATR(14) (lets say for last 20 candle).

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

You're welcome - I would not be aware of an indicator specifically designed for ATR profit targets shared, you can though use the one provided as starting point for your own works. Another might be looking into Bollinger Bands or Keltner Channels - these studies can help giving your targets as well, Keltner Channels would be based on the ATR, so a multiple of that figure would be added to an Moving Average to arrive at an upper range estimate.

[wldman]

For primary targets I use a modified Keltner Channel. Take a look at the 36 period Keltner Channel using a factor of 3 times the 36 period ATR.

I imagine someone could code that as a hard exit if that is what you like.

Hello Wldman,

Can you pls share the Keltner channel indicator that you use for Profit Tgts?

Will be a gr8 help!

Thanks in advance.

[wldman]

Sure.

The specific indie I use for that is available at another website. I am not sure If I am allowed by NT to post it here or if I'm allowed by the author to share it.

But, it is a straight forward Keltner Channel with the settings referenced earlier.

For some reason I can not log in to NT right now to grab some pics...but I will post those for you with an explanation of my typical use. DB

[wldman]

here are the nt settings for the 2 instances of anakeltnerchannel that I use on this method to target exits.

You can see those on the chart as the blue-ish dashed line and the grey dotted line.

One way you could use this is demonstrated here.

http://screencast.com/t/HUeLxYVv

Where the green arrows designate long entry and the blue boxes show potential exits at the modified keltner. The 2nd and 3rd example show what could be a primary at the inner band and a secondary exit at the outer band.

Is that what you are asking?

[to_ankit]

Hi Wldman,

Thanks for your prompt reply!

I'm really a non-technical guy. I just need an indicator which tells me the target 1 and target 2 whenever a buy or sell signal generated. I use "SuperTrend V2.4" for buy and sell signal and this indicator tells me the SL and trailing SL but not the targets.

If this is what you are referring to, then YES I'm looking for it.

Can you pls post the indicator so that I can test the results?

Thanks again !

Hi,

I'm not sure whether I can post Amibroker indicator here or not.

But regarding my Profit target indicator, I have Amibroker (AFL code) indicator which is used for profit 1 & 2.

Can anyone help me here to convert AFL code to NinjaCode? If yes, pls let me know. I'm seeking a sincere help here.

Thanks & Regards
