Super trend to Ninja trader?

Hey guys!

So this simple strat made over 7k in under 24 hrs net of commissions with one contract on /ES at the time this was posted,

So, I stumbled upon Mobius's Supertrend and was blown away by its efficiency when paired with other indicators (such as MACD). And since TOS currently does not support Auto Trading :( and I have used NT in the past so I was wondering if I could configure my MACD + Supertrend strategy on NT.

I am aware that there is a supertrend indicator already on Ninja Trader (https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/us...complete-collection-of-supporting-indicators/) but I cross-referenced it using the same settings as the one by Mobius and It does not match.

My guess is that the problem is the "offset period" since it cannot be set to zero?

Here is my strategy where I combine super trend and MACD signals on TOS (used on 3 Range on /ES) that generated over 7k (on /ES with 1 contract) in profits in the last 24 hrs net of commissions:

Bullish Strategy:
Code: 
# SuperTrend
input AtrMult = 1.0;
input nATR = 4;
input AvgType = AverageType.HULL;
input PaintBars = yes;
def ATR = MovingAverage(AvgType, TrueRange(high, close, low), nATR);
def UP = HL2 + (AtrMult * ATR);
def DN = HL2 + (-AtrMult * ATR);
def ST = if close < ST[1] then UP else DN;
plot SuperTrend = ST;
SuperTrend.AssignValueColor(if close < ST then Color.RED else Color.GREEN);
AssignPriceColor(if PaintBars and close < ST

                 then Color.RED

                 else if PaintBars and close > ST

                      then Color.GREEN

                      else Color.CURRENT);

# End Code SuperTrend

#MACD

input fastLength = 12;
input slowLength = 26;
input MACDLength = 9;
input averageType = AverageType.EXPONENTIAL;
input showBreakoutSignals = no;

plot Value = MovingAverage(averageType, close, fastLength) - MovingAverage(averageType, close, slowLength);
plot Avg = MovingAverage(averageType, Value, MACDLength);

plot Diff = Value - Avg;
plot ZeroLine = 0;

plot UpSignal = if Diff crosses above ZeroLine then ZeroLine else Double.NaN;
plot DownSignal = if Diff crosses below ZeroLine then ZeroLine else Double.NaN;

UpSignal.SetHiding(!showBreakoutSignals);
DownSignal.SetHiding(!showBreakoutSignals);

Value.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(1));
Avg.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(8));
Diff.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(5));
Diff.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HISTOGRAM);
Diff.SetLineWeight(3);
Diff.DefineColor("Positive and Up", Color.GREEN);
Diff.DefineColor("Positive and Down", Color.DARK_GREEN);
Diff.DefineColor("Negative and Down", Color.RED);
Diff.DefineColor("Negative and Up", Color.DARK_RED);
Diff.AssignValueColor(if Diff >= 0 then if Diff > Diff[1] then Diff.color("Positive and Up") else Diff.color("Positive and Down") else if Diff < Diff[1] then Diff.color("Negative and Down") else Diff.color("Negative and Up"));
ZeroLine.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(0));
UpSignal.SetDefaultColor(Color.UPTICK);
UpSignal.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_UP);
DownSignal.SetDefaultColor(Color.DOWNTICK);
DownSignal.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_DOWN);

AddOrder(type = OrderType.SELL_TO_CLOSE, ST > close or Diff < 0, tradeSize = 1, name = "Close", tickColor = Color.GRAY, arrowColor = Color.GRAY, price = CLOSE);


Bearish Strategy:

Code:

Please help either convert the strategies to Ninja Trader or the Supertrend (Mobius) indicator to NT or tweak the existing Supertrend indicator (link is above) to make it match the one on TOS on the 3 RANGE CHART. Or even, if you find a NT indicator that already emulates the one by Mobius please share it.

ANY help is greatly appreciated as I am trying to make this work ASAP, and I will do my best to answer any questions!

Thanks for all the help guys!

** To set up your 3 Range chart (on PC): go to chart settings (the gear icon @ the top left corner of your chart), click "Time Axis" (found in the top header), change aggregation type to Range, change the price range to 3, and the Range type to range bars.

PS: Sorry BenTen for posting in the wrong forum again :/ I have no idea how to move it to a different forum after I posted it.

I have been playing with your idea, it's a lot of trades on that 3 tick time frame. But it seems profitable. You have to be careful as TOS strategy report can give unrealistic results different than real world. I have been contemplating the same idea for Ninjatrader also. There are people who do this but not sure how expensive that would be to get it done and then the result may not pan out in real world, real time.

True, it is a lotta trades. Precisely why I want to get it automated. Also, yea TOS doesn't account for bull put spreads, slippage, volatility, etc. which affect trading in real-time so these results will definitely be on the higher side but tbh I'm fine with even half of what it's making because you could just scale contracts at that point. Also one could also use higher time frames like 8 Range too, which give pretty good results as well. Are you familiar w anyone who does this stuff, all I want is Supertrend to be converted to ninja trader, I could probably manage the rest.

Thanks :)

Hi,
I just stumbled across a YT video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E3e4Ec30ro&t=145s
He gives a link to OneDrive with all the necessary zip files to import into Ninjatrader.

That is a good starting point for an automated strategy and then you will have to tweak buy and sell signals to do what your strategy requires. I'll be working on it myself so if I'm able to make some modifications I'll let you know.

nvm- the issue was with TOS.
How has the script performed for u? any luck with moving to NT? i would be very interested as well

Just to update. I have been digging into code of NinjaTrader and I think this will be doable. I'm actually working on using HelkinAshi and Trend state from CSA study which I have found in TOS to be pretty good at predicting a buy and sell signal although not 100% in terms of repainting.
The above code in post 1 I only found profitable at an extremely low tick rate which with the number of trades I don't even know if that would be feasible.

As I said previously I do not think the above code is particularly profitable. But on another note I have converted a strategy I have pulled from various posts here on usethinkscript. It is pretty good in TOS and I just converted it to NinjaTrader script so if you are interested in it. The in the Ninjatrader Forum link you can drop into Documents/Ninjatrader 8/Bin/Custom/Strategies folder, then compile it in the Ninjascript editor, run it in the Strategy Analyzer.
I have been using the NQ 09-20 instrument with minute 2. On NinjaTrader forum I included a screenshot of the worst period from Feb20 to March 24 and just trading 1 contract. Here is the link: TOS to Ninjatrader conversion script

for some reason, this strategy is coming as blank when i upload it & try to backtest it. is it working for u? I followed the upload instructions u sent in this post.

You must have active connection try Jul 17 to Jul23. I am having issues with it now that I try to use it in the Playback mode. It is a learning experience for me too. Sometimes what you hope for is just a pipe dream, too good to be true. I hope not but that's how it's looking. I have found that different dates don't always result in a good test. I just haven't figured out all this Ninja stuff.

@irishgold Very interesting. Thanks for sharing the strategy. One problem I've found is this...

Let's say I'm short 1 contract then when the strategy changes to long this is what happens...

It triggers 1 close position, 1 CloseShort, and 1 LongEntry which results in net 2 contract long.

So instead of 1 lot long, you're now 2 lots. Do you know how to fix this to get rid of that extra close position trigger?

@tradegeek I have had little success in making Ninjatrader work for me. I am so frustrated, mainly because I really don't know how to make the code function the way I see the TOS strategy work. So I did notice trading long by itself and then trading short by itself seems to have better results. The strategy analyzer will show great success and then trying to use the Market replay it is not very good. Right now I have no real success story. Just like TOS strategy seems so awesome but not in real trading.

@irishgold Would you mind sharing the TOS version of the strategy? I would like to know the parameters of the entries and exits. I don't know any ninjascript and just learning thinkscript from code snippets and this forum but I like tinkering.
