SSL channel Indicator => must have!

[RobUtrecht12345]

I found this indicator on TradingView and as well in Prorealtime, its a promising indicator.

Its the SSL Channel Indicator

It is a kind of Hi/Lo activator of a channel formed by 2 MA applied to High and Low price series, works like magic!

Anyone who is able to make this indicator in NinjaTrader 8?



////////////////// code of prorealtime..

return sslUp as "UP", sslDown as "DOWN"

Many Thanks Jack22 for the effort you did on making the 'ChannelSSL.cs'.

I tried to import the ChannelSSL.cs file into Ninjatrader 8. That does not work yet.

Is it possible to make a NinjaScript Archive File (*.zip) of this indicator, so i cam import this as an indicator in Ninjatrader 8? (Tools ->import -> NinjaScript add on).

Or do you know a way how to get the ChannelSSL.cs file up and running through another way in in NinjaTrader 8?

Greetings,

[Jack22]

Greetings,

Copy the file to: Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\Indicators

Control Center -> New -> NinjaScript Editor

Then compile with: F5, compile button on toolbar, or right click on canvas and select compile

Hello Jack22,

Thanks for your contribution.

You are welcome to (but not required to) post this in the NT user apps section of the Ninjatrader Ecosystem where everyone can more easily search and find this indicator. The user submission forum is here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...app-submission You would need to export the indicator in a zip file and add a screenshot of the indicator in use as well as a brief description.

Hello Jack22,

To export a NinjaTrader 8 NinjaScript so this can be shared and imported by the recipient do the following:

1. Click Tools -> Export -> NinjaScript...
2. Click the 'add' link -> check the box(es) for the script(s) and reference(s) you want to include
3. Click the 'Export' button
4. Enter a unique name for the file in the value for 'File name:'
5. Choose a save location -> click Save
6. Click OK to clear the export location message

By default your exported file will be in the following location:

• (My) Documents/NinjaTrader 8/bin/Custom/ExportNinjaScript/<export_file_name.zip>

Below is a link to the help guide on Exporting NinjaScripts.
http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...-us/export.htm

We do not recommend manually adding or manually removing files directly from the file system as this will often lead to compile errors.


As a convenience to other forum members that would like to import this script I have exported this using the proper procedure.

To import a NinjaScript into NinjaTrader 8 do the following:

1. Download the script to your desktop, keep it in the compressed .zip file.
2. From the Control Center window select Tools -> Import -> NinjaScript...
3. Click the Desktop icon on the left to navigate to the desktop
4. Select the downloaded .zip file -> then click Open
5. NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.

Critical *Note that on any files that say "File already exists on your PC" that start with an "@" symbol are the ones that came preloaded inside of NinjaTrader so you would say "No" so that you do not override those files.

Below is a link to the help guide on importing.

Jack22, absolutely awesome indicator! Thank you so much for sharing! I do have one question. I tried editing the colors of the up / down arrows that auto-plot. I had to right-click on an individual arrow as the arrow properties are not available within the indicator properties. Do you know of any way to edit the default plot colors of the up/down arrows without having to edit each arrow individually? Any help, advice, etc is greatly appreciated even if the answer is "no". Thanks again!

Hello THardin,

Thanks for your post.

You could create user-defined Brush inputs and use those inputs for the Brush property of the up and down arrows that are drawn on the chart.

See the attached example script demonstrating how this could be accomplished.

And, see this help guide page about working with Brushes: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...th_brushes.htm

Please let me know if I may assist further.

Thank you for the quick response Brandon. I downloaded the attached sample script and unzipped the file. My PC wants to open it as an Adobe PDF but I get an Adobe error message when trying to open. Do you have any advice as to how I need to open this file?

Hi Brandon,

Please disregard my previous reply. I found a good code editor and was able to open the script. My son has a certification in coding and is helping me. Once again, thank you for your quick assistance.

Can we add any other indicator along with the 'ChannelSSL' indicator to avoid false signals?

[NinjaTrader_BrandonH]

Hello nrkoka786,

Thanks for your note.

I am not aware of 'false signals' that this indicator would produce or other indicators that should be used with the ChannelSSL indicator.

That said, this forum thread will be open for the other community members to share their insights on indicators you could use with the ChannelSSL indicator.
