Where can I get a decent zig zag/swing indicator for Ninjatrader 8?

[Johnny]

Hi all,

I'm migrating to NT8 and I need a good swing/zig zag indicator that plots swing highs and lows based on a minimum deviation in price (ticks/points).

I have access to an indicator in NT7 which does this fairly decently, BUT, I don't have access to it in NT8 and the guy who made it doesn't program in NT8.

There does exist an indicator for free that can be found on Big Mike's forums:

https://futures.io/ninjatrader/1272-priceactionswing-discussion.html

The only problem with this indicator is that it doesn't reset at the start of each trading session.

I use the US Equities RTH session template from 09:30 to 16:00 and I don't want swings plotted from one day to the next. Each day needs to start from scratch.

I'm attaching a picture from NT7 where I have plotted the indicator I'm currently using and the one from Big Mike on top. It's the swing between gaps I don't want.

Any ideas if something like this exist for sale somewhere?

I've tried searching around and sent a few emails, but no luck so far. I have a guy who says he can possibly modify it for me, but he's currently very busy and I'm not sure I have time to wait...

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi, Ryan,

I did try to make a search there and did contact a few, but no luck so far in locating something like this that already exists.

Alternatively, I'll have to get it custom programmed. But I was hoping to maybe get a heads up if something like this already exist.

Thanks.

I should also add that the amount of programmers offering services seems to be overwhelming, so if some other users (I know NT officials probably can't do this) could recommend anyone they're satisfied with, it would be easier to make a choice.

Hello Johnny,

have you found such an indicator? Because I nearly search for the same. Thanks in advance.

Did you test the indicator on Big Mike's forums as in the initial first post link?

It's pretty good.

For my own purposes, I have custom coded my own Zig Zag. I paid a profesionall Ninja programmer to do this for me.

Was reading all of the post about Zig Zag Indicator and wanted to inform you of a fee based ATSZigZagMultiPlots this version has 3 most recent Highs and 3 Most recent Lows always available as Plots and Also a LastPlot So that you know if the last was a Low or High Plot which is important when creating conditions for a strategy or distance between each plot etc

And where can this indicator be found?

I pretty much found what I needed, but can always take a look if there's a new and nice indicator worth looking into.
