Elder-disk for NinjaTrader 7 and higher

COME INTO MY TRADING ROOM version 1.0

Thank you for purchasing this Elder-disk. It was developed in 2010-2011 by Dr. Alexander Elder, the author of Come into My Trading Room and other books, and Wessel de Roode, M.Sc, a trader and programmer. This disk adds to NinjaTrader the indicators from this book, as well as from the earlier book Trading for a Living. This disk is designed for use with NinjaTrader 7 and above. You must be a licensed or free user of NinjaTrader software to use this disk. Your registration as a free user of NinjaTrader will enable you to do unlimited technical analysis on its platform using a variety of data providers, both commercial (such as eSignal or Barchart) and noncommercial (such as Yahoo, Google or Kinetick). A cost-efficient approach is to start using free end-of-day data sources and upgrade to a paid realtime as you progress. You may also use one of the compatible brokers that provide intraday data. One example would be a combination of real-time intraday quotes from Interactive Brokers and the historic end of day datafeed from Kinetick. Becoming a licensed user (buying NinjaTrader) will add the ability to place live orders in the market through one of the compatible brokers.

Installing the Elder-disk templates and workspace

NinjaTrader templates and workspaces allow you to streamline charting and scanning instead of custombuilding each and every chart or scanner. Examples, screenshots and examples of how to use these templates can be found in the chapter Predefined Workspace and Templates on page 21. To install these templates and the workspace, you need to copy them into the NinjaTrader 7 directories. Follow these steps to copy them from your CD: 1. Open a new file explorer and open this directory on your PC: 2. The directory should contain a directory called NinjaTrader 7 If your PC has Ninja in a different directory, browse until you find it 3. Open another file explorer and browse your CD 4. Now hold down the [SHIFT] key and click both folders templates and workspaces on your CD. Release the [SHIFT] key both folders should be colored (meaning they are selected), just like sown in the picture below. 5. After you release the [SHIFT] key, click on the selected folders and hold down the left mouse button. Drag the two folders and drop them on top of the Ninja 7 folder and release the mouse button again.

6. The files will be copied now. A pop-up window might warn you that the folders Templates, Charts, and Workspaces already exist. Answer Yes to All to this question to update these folders.

Congratulations! Youve successfully installed your Elder workspace and templates!

Indicators
All indicators are illustrated here using the Dow stocks as examples. The name of the chart is the symbol of the stock, so each symbol is noted in the manual. The selection of symbols was random, for illustration purposes only.

Elder_AutoEnvelope
Envelopes should be set parallel to the slow moving average and contain approximately 90-95% of all prices for the past two or three months, with only the extremes protruding outside of a channel. Envelopes provide attractive profit targets sell longs near the upper channel line and cover shorts near the lower channel line. The AutoEnvelope custom indicator on this CD will automatically create channels that contain 90-95% of prices. This indicator, originally developed by John Bruns, is designed to change its height no more than once a week, making it stable even for intra-day data.

Fast EMA identifies short-term consensus of value. Usually plotted in red. Set to 0 if you wish to eliminate this plot. EMA This is the length of the EMA forming the center of the channel (default is 22). Usually plotted in yellow. Standard deviation This is the number of standard deviations for sizing the channel. The default is 2.7 standard deviations, which is good for most daily data. You may want to change this depending on the stocks you trade and your trading style and timeframe. Note that this method implies a bell shaped distribution, which is seldom found in stocks. Intra-day data is much more erratic and usually needs a higher number. Lookback period This is the number of bars over which the standard deviation is calculated. Max envelope plots This number tells us how far going back to plot the envelope. Change weekly The default behavior of this indicator (False) is to plot a single envelope based on the weekend just before the right edge of the chart. It emulates the technique of setting channels by eye-balling. Setting this input to (True) will plot a different band value each week, sort of a very slow Bollinger Band. This is more accurate when using the data for a strategy, since this reflects values as they exist while evaluating the strategy.

NOTE: This indicator uses statistical functions and needs at least 300 bars to calculate an accurate envelope. If the indicator does not see enough bars, it will display an Error at the right top of the screen:

In this case make sure that the time frame that is loaded into the chart is long enough. Use the [CTRL]-f key to display the data series window and increase the amount of days/bars loaded. (See the Ninjatrader manual for more details on how to set up and use the data series in Ninjatrader).

Elder_ForceIndex
Force Index was first described in Trading for a Living. It plots a moving average of the change in price multiplied by volume. This indicator has been enhanced to eliminate large spikes that make the rest of the chart flat and unreadable. Spikes greater than 10 times the current threshold are reduced and marked with a yellow dot (a technique developed by John Bruns).

EMA Length sets the length of the EMA used to calculate Force Index.

Elder_Impulse
The Impulse System is a revolutionary analytic method, first described by Dr. Elder in Come into My Trading Room. This indicator is capable of delivering one of the most important messages in technical analysis when not to trade! When Elder_Impulse is in a buy mode, no short positions may be opened or held. When it is in a sell mode, no long positions may be opened or held. This rule helps traders avoid countless pitfalls, forcing us to get in gear with the trend or to stay out. The Impulse colors price bars to reflect the condition of the current Impulse.

MACD fast period, MACD slow period, MACD signal period these are the parameters for the MACD-Histogram calculation EMA trend period this is the short term EMA, used for computing the Impulse Time Factor normally 1, this can show the Impulse for an extended timeframe. For example, if you are looking at the daily data and want to see the weekly Impulse colors, you can set it to 5. This has the effect of multiplying all the parameters above by five. Impulse up color, Impulse down color, Impulse neutral color these allow you to customize the color choices for the bars.

12

Elder_ImpulseRelease
ImpulseRelease is an indicator designed to work with the Impulse System, as described in Come into My Trading Room. It uses the Impulse System in two timeframes to give a visual representation of when you are released to trade. The best use of this indicator is to wait for the signal to stop pointing against the direction of your planned trade, thus releasing you to trade.

MACD fast period, MACD slow period, MACD signal period these are the parameters for the MACD-Histogram calculation EMA trend period this is the short-term EMA, used for computing the Impulse Time Ratio This is the ratio of the two timeframes. For a system using weekly charts as longterm and daily charts as short-term this is 5. If you are trading 10 min bars and using hourly as long use 6, etc. LongColor The color of the bar when only long trades are allowed. ShortColor The color of the bar when only short trades are allowed. NoTradesColor The color of the bar when no trades are allowed. BothColor The color when either long or short trades are allowed.

This indicator looks best if you shrink the height of the window, so that it appears as a narrow horizontal band across the chart. Delete the label field in the Visual settings to clean up the left corner of the band.

Elder_MACD
The Elder_MACD indicator is a combination of MACD Lines and MACD-Histogram, plotting both in the same window.

MACD fast period, MACD slow period, MACD signal period these are the parameters for the MACD-Histogram calculation. Hist. Magnification since both MACD-Histogram and MACD-Lines are shown in the same window, the Histogram must be scaled up for readability. This is the factor the Histogram is scaled up to. The default (2) is usually quite readable. Time ratio normally 1, this can show MACD for a longer timeframe. For example, if you are looking at the daily data and want to see a weekly MACD, this can be set to 5. This has the effect of multiplying all the parameters above by five. Histogram up color, Histogram down color these signal the rising and falling of MACDHistogram. Note that for timeframes greater than 1, the bar is compared to the bar Time ratio periods ago. To turn off this feature, select the same color for all. Show MACDxOver price When set to True, the MACDxOver value is printed in the right bottom corner of the MACD chart. It identifies the level at which MACD Histogram will change direction on the next price bar. This is extremely useful if your entry or exit tactic depends on the Impulse System changing bar color, which in turn depends on the slope of MACD-Histogram. See the chart plotted below if the current bar closes at 41.43, MACD-Histogram will change direction if the next bar opens and stays above 42.22

MACD (DD)

Elder-disk for NinjaTrader COME INTO MY TRADING ROOM v 1.0

www.elder.com

16

Elder_MACDHistXover
This indicator was developed by John Bruns to predict price points that must be reached for MACDHistogram to change direction. The indicator plots a dot that marks the value of this key price point for tomorrow. If your strategy depends on the Impulse system, you need to know at what point MACD will change its direction. This indicator gives you that point for tomorrow. The interpretation is simple if the close is above the given number, the Histogram will rise, and if below, it will fall. This is the same value that is included in the MACD indicator if you turn on its Show MACDxOver price feature. NinjaTrader allows you to plot a point into the future, but does not show its value. This is why we plot the value on todays bar and not shift it into the future.

All parameters must exactly match the MACD-Histogram you are using. See Elder_MACD. MACDHistXover (JNJ)

Elder_ray Bull Power & Elder_ray Bear Power

Bull Power and Bear Power are the components of Elder-Ray, an indicator described in Trading for a Living. Since both are based on an EMA, this example shows both with an EMA of the same length.

Ema EMA used to compute Bull Power or Bear Power.

Note that the inputs for Bull and Bear Power are identical and set to the same values. Elder-Ray (IBM)

Elder_Thermometer
The Market Thermometer is described in Come into My Trading Room. It measures the temperature of the market, reflected in greater or smaller intraday ranges.

EMA trend period Length of the moving average of the Market Temperature. Spike Alert If the Temperature exceeds its EMA by this factor, it is marked in the chart. Quiet Alert If the Temperature remains below its EMA for this number of days, it is marked in the chart. Spikes are highlighted by bright yellow dots. Quiet periods are highlighted with a blue background. Spikes are truncated at six times the current average. This prevents a single day from overwhelming the entire graph. Thermometer ( EUR/USD )

Developer Tools
Warning! This technical chapter is intended as a reference guide for developers who would like to use Elder indicators as building blocks in their own strategies, scanners and Market Analyzers. For non developers there is a set of prebuilt scanners based on the Elder Indicators in the chapter Using the Market Analyzer templates on page: 25. We would highly recommend familiarizing yourself first with these pre-build templates. Then learn how to customize the Market Analyzer from the Ninja Trader manual before reading this chapter.

Elder_AutoEnvelope
NormEnvelope finding the % stretch in the rubber band toward the envelope variable: Elder_AutoEnvelope.NormEnvelope This technique, created by Wessel de Roode, shows the percentage by which the rubber band is stretched between the EMA and the envelope. In order to measure the location of the last price in relation to the Elder Envelope a scale from positive (above the EMA) to negative (below the EMA) percent values is used. 0% represents the center line of the Elder Envelope (created by the EMA) +100% represents the upper border line of the Elder Envelope and shows an overbought market situation -100% represents the lower border line of the Elder Envelope and shows a oversold market situation As the price might well fall below or rise above the Envelope, values of less than -100% or more than +100% are possible and show even stronger oversold or overbought situations.

The NormEnvelope has one option that influences the output. It is highlighted in the picture below:

If set to False this indicator operates as shown in the picture and the described above. The table below gives a summary of the different values Signal value summary of the NormEnvelope when option is set to False:

NormEnvelope value NormEnvelope description

>-1 -1<0 0<+1 >+1 Price is below the lower envelope Price is between the lower envelope and below the EMA Price is between the upper envelope and above the EMA Price is above the upper envelope

If the option is changed into True the output value of the variable NormEnvelope is set to -99 when detected that the price bar closed inside the channel and is neither oversold or overbought. NormEnvelope value summary when the option is set to True as shown in the picture below:

NormEnvelope value NormEnvelope description

-99 >-1 >+1 Price is between the two envelopes Price is below the lower envelope Price is above the upper envelope

RisingFalling finding the trend and the last closing price in respect to the value zone variable: Elder_AutoEnvelope.RisingFalling The value zone is defined as the area between the fast and the slow EMA. This signal gives information about the last closing price of a bar in relation to the value zone. As the value zone as such is build of a fast and a slow EMA a trend direction can be read from these two EMA lines as such. Fast EMA being below slow EMA sows a falling direction whereas fast EMA above slow EMA shows a rising direction. Thus we can read a general trend from this Value zone. The value of the variable is also telling us if the price is below, within or above the value zone. Combining these two analyses into one allows us to better judge where we are within the trend and if the trend is perhaps soon to be broken or not.

RisingFalling value RisingFalling Signal description
