Moving average slope

[nealpek]

distance between ema's

i've looked in the indicators sectionand can't find what i am looking for. Say you have 2 ema's 10 and 20. What i am looking for is an indicator consisting of a line toggling above or below zero, that can tell me the distance between the 2 ema's. any suggestions?

You will need to self program it if someone has not shared it already. You can try one of these 3rd party NinjaScript Consultants to make it for you too: http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/pa...injaScript.htm

Problem with Krause Slope

For some reason Krause slope posted on 02/23/2009 at 6:08 AM does not work. NT 7 is not able to open the file, is it possible to re-post the file as I am also looking to identify slope of MA.

Many Thanks.

Hi, you can check out the 'Krause Slope' posted to our sharing section for this - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...&id=37&catid=1

It will retrun you the slope in degress.

Hi Bertrand,

The link returns 403 forbidden (even if I'm logged in) ... do you have an updated link for this indicator ?

Hello,

The Krause Slope was developed for NinjaTrader 6.5 ti will not work in NinjaTrader 7. You can find it at the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...id=1&linkid=37

Hi Patrick,

This indicator will not import into NT7. I get an error that I already have a newer EMA and it fails. I then remove my ema and try to re-import and it still fails saying I'm missing an indicator.

Thanks.

Hello FIG690,

Thanks for your post.

The indicator in the link is not compatible with Ninjatrader 7. I am not aware of a conversion of this indicator to Ninjatrader 7. You may want to review all of the Ninjatrader 7 compatible indicators located here: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ks.php?catid=4

I am trying to build this rising/falling 50 SMA strategy. I cannot get it to work though. In the Condition Builder I choose Misc and then Rising. In the Input Series I can see I have SMA(50). I have nothing in the User Defined Inputs. Do I need to add an input there?

Hello mximing,

Thanks for your post.

I've created the condition in the strategy wizard and shown the choices to make in the attached picture.

Thanks, Paul!
I have one more question about the wizard. I want the strategy to take the first signal, not start to trade when the markets open. Like when the moving average turns down. How do I do that using the wizard?

Thanks

Hello mximing,

Thanks for your post.

So currently your strategy is not taking the first signal and it is waiting until the markets open? Do you have conditions that look at time?

Can you define the requirements for "...when the moving average turns down"? A simple test is to use the opposite of the Rising() method and use the Falling() method.

[mximing]

I am using rising and falling in the code from the wizard.

The strategy closes the open trade at the market close. Then enters into a new trade at 16:00, not when the moving average changes from rising to falling or falling to rising.

I want it to close the trade at the market close, but only enter into a new trade after the market opens again and there is a change in the direction of the MA.

Hello mximing,

Thanks for your reply.

In that case you would want to create a condition that uses times to trade that you define. Please see the condition builder helpguide section here: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...on_builder.htm Note the last section, "How to create time comparisons"
