Unfortunately NinjaTrader does not have a have a minimum internet connection speed. There is nothing they suggest.

But they are pretty clear about it, that if you intend to trade live, they do recommend to take the fastest internet connection possible.

While this speed would likely be sufficient for receiving data, They never recommend using a 3G or WiFI connection when using NinjaTrader. Instead, they recommend using a hardwired broadband connection.

The reason for this is that WiFi and 3G connections are far more likely to connection issues and excessive latency. This would be more a matter of the connection's overall health, not it's speed. 

NinjaTrader 7 and NinjaTrader 8 are Windows applications which rely on the .NET Framework to operate and the .NET Framework is only available on Windows Operating System and DOES NOT run on the Mac Operating System, Phones or Tablets

It can happen that you do receive an error message when you try to use or import a 3rd Party Indicator or App. 

To find where this error is coming from you need to compile an indicator. This will show you where the error is coming from.

Please follow the instructions below to see where the errors are coming from after compiling any indicator.

This will allow you to debug the indicator/strategy or remove it from your PC.

If you are wondering why you receive an error when compiling only one indicator, it is because NinjaTrader always compiles all indicators and strategies - not just one. This is done to give you the highest runtime performance possible.

• Open NinjaTrader
• From the Control Center select the Tools menu--> select the Edit NinjaScript menu item--> select Indicator
• Select any indicator and double click on it (we need only to open and compile one script to see all compile errors for all files).
• A new window will appear and you will need to right click in the window and select Compile to compile the indicators.
• At the bottom of the window a new section will appear where you can find the error locations.
• From there you have the option to comment out offending code sections, remove the complete indicator or debug it to be able to compile again.

If you are unsure as to what the error is indicating, please get in touch with NinjaTrader directly and they can take a look at the error for you.

We do have a few indicators, which are NinjaTrader 8 and NinjaTrader 7 compatible to work on the old NinjaTrader 7 Platform. 

But please note that we did not convert any of our new indicators into NinjaTrader 7. Neither did we update the NinjaTrader 7 files.

All our programs and indicators are designed for the NinjaTrader 8 Platform. 

We do no longer convert Indicators into the NinjaTrader 7 platform.

Performance issues are not always related to only one or two indicators. It really depends on the capacity you have available and how much indicators, templates, workspaces etc. you have stored in your NinjaTrader.

The Realtime Supply and Demand Indicator is a complex indicator that needs capacity to work correctly. We highly recommend that you take a look at the provided videos and indicator manual. In there, we explain how to get started with the indicator and how to avoid performance issues.

In order to achieve optimal performance from NinjaTrader while running several bots simultaneously, the minimum recommended number of Days to Load for each bot is as follows:

If the bot uses a 60 Minute chart, load a minimum of 720 Days,

If the bot uses a 30 Minute chart, load a minimum of 360 days,

If the bot uses a 15 Minute chart, load a minimum of 180 days,

If the bot uses a 5 Minute chart, load a minimum of 60 days,

If the bot uses a 2 Minute chart, load a minimum of 30 days.

Not only will this contribute to saving Windows system resources and improve overall performance while the bots are running, bot loading times (enable times) will be reduced.

Please download and reference the spreadsheet included on in the Robot Lab members area on the Initial Setup, How To Get Started and Software Download page. 

Simply open up a browser window on the VPS and go to https://ninjatrader.com/Download and download and install NinjaTrader and use your same license key.

Then, go to https://ninjacators.com/ and login to the members area and download the Robot Lab installation file(s). Note: You won't be able to login to the same brokerage account real-time data connection on your PC and DESKTOP. You may need to contact NinjaTrader to determine how to do this. But, if you have multiple accounts, there is no issue.

You need to uninstall the virus program from the VPS, then download and install the robot lab file. In the VPS, go to Apps/Programs - found by right clicking on the Windows icon in the bottom left hand corner of your screen, or search for Control Panel, then find the security program that keeps blocking the robot install and uninstall it(it can be re-installed after the bots are installed), then download the robot lab file and install it. This has been the process used with VPS which have overactive security settings. 

To check daily performance you can do it 2 ways:

1. Just add the bot to the chart - be sure the chart settings are correct for the specific bot and that it is enabled, then just look at the trades that were executed for that specific day on the chart
2. In NT8 Control Center go to New > Strategy Analyzer. When it loads up on the upper right hand side be sure it's set to "Backtest". Then under "Strategy" select the robot you want to test. Then go to "Time Frame" and put in the start and end date, then click "Run" at the bottom and it will show you the trade stats for that time period.

Since the bots all have pre-programmed unique strategies they very seldom fire off opposite trades at the same time. While it is possible, it is extremely rare and if it would happen, then the orders would simply cancel out each other.

For account max daily loss limit, please contact your broker to see if they have they function. We do know that Rithmic provides this feature and allows you to set the max daily loss limit as a feature. The bots themselves do not have a max daily loss limit built into them.

You may notice that a bot is watching the NQ to execute trades on the ES. That's perfectly normal and is working as intended. Some of our bots will watch multiple markets and conditions within those markets in order to execute a trade in a single market like the ES.

Different bots work better in different conditions. By having multiple bots, you are setting yourself up for success by having a 2, 3, or more bots specifically built for the current market environment where it can best perform and put your account in the best position

Absolutely! Because the robots are hard-wired to do all the hard, emotional parts of trading for you, that normally takes years to learn. With your own army of robots, your job is to flip them on a few minutes before the market opens. Then stand back and let them farm profits for you in your favorite markets and timeframes until the market closes. Which we show you how to do in our quick start videos. Or go even deeper to customize and scale your results into wealth with our Live trading and learning Robot Lab.

All robots work for day trading all E-minis and Micro Futures (S&P 500, NASDAQ, Dow, Russell 2000, Currency Futures). As well as specialty bots for Crude Oil, Gold, and Bonds.

Yes, you can step in at any time to manage or close the trade that the bot initiated.

If you’re planning on day trading futures with less than 10 robots, the computer you trade with now will most likely work. If you’re buying a new computer just for this, a standard gaming computer will work great. 

Your PC must meet the minimum requirements listed below to run NinjaTrader 8

Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2012 or later

•1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit or 64-bit processor

•2GB RAM

•Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8

•(pre-installed on most PC’s and can be downloaded here: Microsoft .NET Framework)

•Screen resolution of 1024 x 768

•DirectX10 compatible graphics card highly recommended

NinjaTrader 8 was designed to take full advantage of modern PC architecture. To achieve the highest possible level of performance, NinjaTrader 8 will utilize all available CPU cores and additional memory resources. Depending on your actual usage with NinjaTrader, you may need more or less resources than the average user. Additional memory will be of direct benefit when running strategy optimizations, and the amount of additional memory needed is proportional to the number of CPU cores available. NinjaTrader can fully utilize a CPU with up to 64 logical processors (cores), using a CPU with greater than 64 logical processors is not advised (this would mean processors would be grouped, which is not supported).

•2 (GHz) or faster quad core 64-bit processor

•8 GB RAM

•DirectX 10 compatible graphics card

•SSD Hard Drive

Nope. Nothing different than if you were trading just by yourself. This means you’ll need to pay for data feed (usually $29-$49/month thru the broker you select on your platform). And of course, you’ll have to pay whatever commissions they charge. Which are the same as if you traded without the bots.

Every trader's expectations can vary wildly. One of our Bot Portfolio's can set up a trader for success by having multiple bots working for them at the same time. Having multiple bots in your arsenal will help with diversifying risk in diverse market conditions. Some bots will excel in a particular market condition and struggle in others. However, a Portfolio of Bots will have the ability to attack a diverse array of market conditions.

No, by default, the bots only trade during the American cash session if the Automated strategies are selected. However, you can choose to use a semi-automated method by using the ATM feature (Ninjatrader 8 Feature) which will allow you to set up your own stop and targets. By using this feature, it will be up to you to close the trades out at the end of the day or carry them into the overnight session.

You can use any Futures account but some brokers have helpful safety features such as prohibiting your trade account from any new trades should it fall below a certain daily threshold.

Absolutely. You can trade these from anywhere in the world as long as you have an able machine and a solid internet connection

(The bots are designed for the Futures Market and US Cash Session)

Originally we at Ninjacators created a sister company E-Minibots but we have found a larger demand with our Ninjacator audience and have since transitioned our E-Minibots to a refined bundle of our Fantastic 5 Portfolio and our Robot Lab Package.

We try our best to provide you with all that you need to simulate the same results. We recommend that you use a Custom Date Range back to 1/1/2008 for back testing, use the designated template designed for that specific bot, and the data format must be in DD/MM/YYYY. For any further questions please take a screenshot of your results and send them into our support to review and help. 

We create our strategies and indicators internally as a company, although a 3rd party add-on for NinjaTrader our products are internally developed. 

We provide those Backtesting Sessions for your benefit, to match recent market conditions and to help better refine the strategy on a regular basis and provide updated templates as needed. You can also ask any backtesting related questions or issues you may be experiencing, we're always happy to help.

As long as the bots are enabled and show up green in the Control Center under the "Strategies" tab, this means they are on waiting for trades.

Sometimes in different market conditions, they won't take trades, and it can be a few days depending on the bot's individual strategy. Some bots are more active than others so some days you won't see a bot trigger a trade but then be a lot more active in subsequent days.

You can always scroll back in time to be sure you see past trades on the chart.

At this time, all of our products including the robots, are developed for exclusive use on the NinjaTrader 8 platform only. We do not support NT7.

Robot Lab comes with one computer license, if you want to run the bots on different Virtual Private Servers/machines, you will need to purchase additional computer licenses.

Yes! The beauty is, the robots can work on any account that can be connected to NinjaTrader. However, the problem with using them on evaluation accounts is how companies implement their maximum trailing stop drawdown. You have to almost manage each bot utilizing your own ATM Strategy for taking off profits. 

Yes, some of the parameters can be modified - in fact we walked through the process of optimizing some of the parameters on the F5 bots in the April 25, 2022 LIVE FAQ session - be sure to watch that recording. You can download the optimized strategy templates from there as well.

These bots are looking for specific criteria to be met on the 15 and 30 minute charts... therefore, they don't trade every day. Straight No Chaser is the closest bot we have to trading every day.

Christian prefers to keep everything on a time-based chart because he likes to keep things simple and stable. However, yes you can use them on other types of charts, such as tick charts. But, doing this can complicate your testing results.

10-year Performance data for portfolios are located on the Sales page and each bot has it's own 10-year performance video located in the Member Area.

No.

While this is a rare event, you would pay normal commissions as you would with manual trading of opening and closing a trade.

Yes, the bots will work great with their default settings. Christian uses all of his bots with default settings and no special parameters.

The Automated Trading Portfolio Analyzer allows you to backtest multiple bots (or a portfolio of bots) simultaneously so you can see and compare performance metrics.

We update the live results periodically and with 10-years of backtested data, there is plenty there to see how the bots/portfolios performed in very diverse market environments.

No, the whole idea of trading bot-folios is to diversify and balance your risk with multiple bots trading different strategies to smooth your equity curve. A single bot may outperform or underperform in a single market but an army of bots trading simultaneously will keep each of them in check and ensure a balanced equity curve without the wild swings.

Not much – you can get started right away with the default settings!  You don’t need to understand the logic/mechanics of the robots to get started.  First, we always recommend that you become comfortable with the trading results in SIM.  Then, when you are ready, trade one micro contract on each bot you wish to trade to become more comfortable with the results.  You only need to have the technical ability to turn the robots on and off and manually exit positions, if necessary.

You do not need any prior experience, you can learn this quickly.  One learning curve would be finding your perfect portfolio.  Whether you build a custom portfolio or use one of our pre-made portfolios.  The biggest learning curve will be to trust the system.  We recommend testing it in SIM until you have learned to trust the system before you ever trade live.

If you are also new to NinjaTrader, we have a NinjaTrader Crash Course here:  https://ninjacators.com/getting-started-help-section/

And more NinjaTrader Tips & Tricks on our blog:  https://ninjacators.com/blog/

We will teach you this in the classes, but here are the methods:

The robots work on anything, but we recommend time-based charts and that is also what you see on our default settings – because we like to keep things simple.  However, you can choose which type of chart(s) to use.

Yes, if for any reason, a Robot needs to be updated to the latest version and anything corresponding to that update will be uploaded to the members area for you to download and use at no additional cost.

That is completely up to each trader.  It depends upon the type of portfolio you want to build, risk factor, account size, etc.

Using a decent trading computer, all 45 bots should run without a problem.

We cannot give advice, please consult your broker.  That said, it depends on how aggressive you want to be and what risk you are willing to take.

Level 1 is fine... however, as of right now, four require additional data feeds for symbols ^ADV, ^DECL, and ^VIX.  We provide this information for all of the bots in the members area.

Here at Ninjacators we offer our 30-Day ‘Love It or Replace It’ guarantee.  This means that you can exchange any purchase to any of our other products, no questions asked within 30 days of original purchase.  You can exchange for a product of equal value for an even exchange, you can upgrade to a product of greater value and only pay the difference.

Upgrading your computer is not an issue, when you get a new computer please contact [email protected] and let our support team know.

Yes, before 9:30 am ET each morning, we double check that the robots are on/enabled and let them run.  We usually check on them just before 4 pm ET each day to be sure we are flat, then shut them down – or leave them on for the next morning.  It is up to you!

We have a 25% rule.  If a robot breaks out of that, either to the upside or to the downside, we will take a very, very close look at it.  Because that could be one of the very rare cases that a trading edge is broken.  So, yes, if that happens we will alert you.

Yes, we have everything available in the members area.

Yes, we offer a White Glove Installation remote service which can be scheduled directly from the members area right after purchase.  We also offer two live sessions per week for education.

Yes, but there are a handful of bots which do not.  Because they use some special things which NinjaTrader replay mode cannot do.

It is not required and is up to each trader but running Robot Lab on a VPS is our personal preference.  It is easy, and for the most part, you don’t have to worry about internet speed and/or power outages and you can access it while you travel.  A VPS provides a lot of stability against these types of issues.

Yes, you can run both without any problem what-so-ever, they will not interfere with each other.

Yes, all Live Robot Lab Sessions are recorded and posted to the members area as soon as possible after each session.

Because I want a wide variety of methods to build my portfolio in such a way that they work in all types of market conditions, such as, sideways, trending, up market, down market, bull market, bear market, etc.  I want a portfolio which does the heavy lifting for me.  We want the max risk level I can tolerate yet have the upside potential I want to see.

While this occurrence is rare due to the different strategies employed by the bots, due to FIFO rules it will cancel a long trade if a short trade is triggered and vice versa.

It is not required.  We don’t necessarily optimize individual robots, we prefer to optimize the portfolios.  However, the individual robots can be optimized.  We did a few tweaks and increased total net profit while at the same time reduced max drawdown.  This type of thing will be covered during the Live Robot Lab Sessions.

We think ours are the best robots because we can prove that our back tests match reality.  But, we suggest that you do your own research!

You never know, but some of the robots have been profitable during past sell-offs.

A) First, there can always be technical issues, when we are talking about technology, period. Most technical issues have to do with electrical power and/or internet connectivity. This is the biggest reason I run my robots on a VPS. The robots are equipped to handle situations where the market is running too fast or there is a huge market move, the robots can adjust to that the robot won’t trade. Yes, that can happen, but it’s not highly likely. This is the reason we don’t suggest setting the bots on Sunday night and not looking again until Friday evening. We suggest checking on them twice a day, just before opening and just before closing, to be sure everything is as it should be.

B) Be smart, and limit your downside on an account basis. Talk to your broker and/or set these limits for yourself in Rithmic.

Absolutely!  You can do any increments you choose!  In my portfolio I have each robot set to trade the max of one full size E-Mini contract.  As I tweak my portfolio, I will sometimes add a certain number of micro E-Mini contracts on top of the full size contract.

Yes!

We will discuss this in the Live Robot Lab Sessions.  We have something for 5 year, 10 year, 30 year, and the Ultra Bond.  It’s a mix of different things, not many people trade these bots, because you have to have a large account.

We are not brokers, therefore cannot give trading advice, and this falls under the category of advice.  We can only share our experience and what we do.  We have pre-made portfolios to choose from to get started if you don’t want to customize.  We do talk about this subject during the Live Sessions so you can make the best decision for yourself.

It’s all C# but you do not need to code anything, it is coded for you.

You can tell each single robot which account it should trade.  Then, you can do the allocation based on the size.

None of the robots are trading high frequency.  We’re entering with limit orders, most of the time there is a decent amount of time to place the limit order.  A VPS close to the exchange might help.

Yes, the lifetime license to Robot Lab is transferable.

We do not provide payment plans and we do not offer PayPal.  However, you can split the total across two or three credit cards at the same time.

No, but yes…  NinjaTrader is a Windows based platform, therefore, does not work on Mac.  However, there is a workaround.  We recommend the use of a remote computer.  Please do your research to find the best remote computer for you.

Absolutely, yes.  Be sure the robots are turned on and enabled before market open in the morning.  Yes, you can step in and manage the trade.

Yes, you can trade any futures account that connects to NinjaTrader.  Go to “Connections” to see accounts that can be connected to NinjaTrader.

No, we do not offer trials.  We offer our “Love It or Replace It” guarantee.

There are multiple ways to do this, which you will learn about in our Live Sessions.  The simplest way is to get data from your data provider, you can get data from the inception of the market.  Then they roll it into a continuous contract so you basically have one contract you can test it all on.  We show you how this can be done within NinjaTrader. This is very easy and can be done one of two ways.  A) with a continuous contract.  B) to get data directly from the broker.

US Futures Only for now.

Yes, if you want to trade simultaneously, you will need an additional NinjaTrader license.  If you want to run Robot Lab on two computers simultaneously, you will need to purchase an additional license for Robot Lab.

No.  We are transparent when it comes to explaining what the robots do, how they trade, etc.  But no, we do not share the source code as it is proprietary.

Christian:  Personally, I don’t, and I know that that’s a learning curve – because I trust the process and the history.  But, yes, you can do this if you choose to.

That is fantastic, it’s great this is exactly the reason we have created the pre-made portfolios.

In NinjaTrader, the individual totals for drawdown may not be accurate due to their calculations and the way it tracks trades in drawdown, but the All trades total is very precise.

The Diversified Portfolio is designed for Smaller Sized accounts and shows a lower $ drawdown due to the smaller account size needed. The Small Drawdown Portfolio is for a larger account which is why the $ figure is higher.

No, the idea behind a bot-folio is that you’re diversifying your risk by running bots with different strategies at the same time to balance out the risk and account for both low/high volatility. Can you choose certain bots to run in certain environments? Absolutely, but it’s not necessary.

Yes.  In general, every bot is designed to do that.  Some bots are heavily geared toward longs and other bots are heavily geared toward shorts.  So, it depends on what the edge is and the underlying method.

No, there is not.

Yes, that is expected and is part of the portfolio idea.  All bots each have a stop order and a target order – there is no unprotected trading.

Yes, some but not all.  It depends upon the method behind the robot.

No.

In general, when you look at the methods the bots are based on, it is mainly geared toward pro-volatility – probably a 60%/40% mix pro-volatility.  We talk about this in our Live Sessions.

We are beta-testing a management system now to support this… No trading platform supports this at this time.  Obviously, there are NO guarantees in trading, even with manual trading.  But, we have a couple of hacks for portfolios that we teach in the Live Sessions.

Yes!  All our robots will work in a portfolio together.  You can mix and match any of the robots in a portfolio.  There are endless combinations possible with 45 robots!  The Portfolio Analyzer will give the numbers to know if you have chosen a good combination, before you even turn them on.

No, the ATM is not used at all in the fully automated mode.  The fully automated mode has custom code for handling the trailing stops.  But, if you trade in the manual mode, the bots will get you in then it will be sent to the ATM and you can manage the trade.

Yes.  At first, we did not include this feature.  We prefer to optimize on a portfolio level but some members wanted to optimize individual bots.  So, due to demand, we opened up some of the crucial strategy settings for each robot.

No, we do not sell individual robots, they are only available as the full package.

Yes.

Robot Lab is geared toward US Futures only.

No

Christian prefers to optimize at a portfolio level, not an individual robot level.  So, each individual robot is run with default settings.  However, you can choose to optimize individual robots and then the portfolio.

No, I am referring to the overall account/portfolio drawdown.

Yes, that is correct.  The way this is done is, you choose a pre-made portfolio with 10 robots for example.  We have one installer that installs each robot into your NinjaTrader, then you choose the robots listed for that portfolio and enable them.  The default settings are such that you can start testing right away.

Christian prefers to keep everything on a time-based chart because he likes to keep things simple and stable.  However, yes you can use them on other types of charts, such as tick charts. But, doing this can complicate your testing results.

Yes, sometimes you might set up one robot more than once.  For example, Chaos Theory, we have that set up on both the micro contract as well as the full size contract.  So, it is set up twice.

Yes, this and other detailed information for each bot is available in the members area.

The robots have AI components, but when you install them and use them, at this time they will not “learn” and get “smarter.”  But we are currently working on something which will constantly update them to be constantly optimized.

No, we share our results live every week in our Live Sessions. We are an open book.

Any Futures broker that can connect to NinjaTrader 8 can be used to connect

Yes, we have 15 pre-made portfolios which do exactly this.  We suggest choosing a pre-made portfolio that meets your needs/criteria/style the best, to start with, then tailor it more to your needs as you learn what we teach you.

No.  What we do is look at it on a portfolio basis – they won’t hedge a trade per se, but they will basically adjust the portfolio.

We categorize the robots into 3 major categories:  Active Robots, Ambitious Robots, and Aggressive Robots.  These are based on a variety of different things.  The biggest component for us is the “average trade.”  We want to have a baseline of steady trading robots (active), making small profits.  We also want robots which are more ambitious going for bigger targets but may not trade as often.  Then, we have aggressive robots, they have a higher target but trade less often.

We have all of this information, but to see it on the chart depends on the strategy itself. Yes for some, but no for others.

Robot Lab is just for futures, it will not work on stocks, options for forex.

We have robots which can trade futures currency pairs such as 6E or 6J but we are trading the future contract of it, so FX futures. Right now, we don’t have any bots that do pairs trading such as UB ZB or any other pairs.

If you look at the results, higher volatility definitely helps.  But you can adjust the portfolio based on the volatility and add more pro-volatility robots in high volatility periods or lower volatility robots in low volatility periods.

There isn’t a specific profit factor point that we take into account. More important to us is the 10-year track record of the strategy to ensure it has an edge.

There is not a daily “trading room” per se, however, we encourage this during our Live Sessions twice a week.

If the question is geared around position size, then no.  These bots are not meant for institutional use with large volumes.  These are for retail traders.

Yes, you will see all of the information for each individual robot, what it does, how it works, its trading edge. As well as all of the rules of entry, stops, target, trailing stops, how does it trail, etc.

It depends on your portfolio.  We categorize the robots into 3 major categories:  Active Robots, Ambitious Robots, and Aggressive Robots.  These are based on a variety of different things.  The biggest component for us is the “average trade.”  We want to have a baseline of steady trading robots (active), making small profits.  We also want robots which are more ambitious going for bigger targets but may not trade as often.  Then, we have aggressive robots, they have a higher target but trade less often. You can reference the profit/loss charts for the portfolios on the Sales page or inside the Member Area for more information.

The “net profit” is after commissions.

We have developed the Portfolio Analyzer to backtest portfolios, then the next step is to set and trade in a SIM account.  In theory, you can look at it in market replay.  However, it can be a replay nightmare.  To speed up the process, we suggest setting it to run in a SIM account live, while you backtest.

We do have a couple of vendors that we prefer to work with and many that we’d steer you far away from. It’s important to choose the right VPS provider for automated trading and we provide information on that inside the Member Area.

Each robot, regardless of the method behind it, looks very closely at the execution.  We have a mechanism in place for limits.

Both, we go through things like this during the Live Sessions.

You can trade as many accounts as you would like within one NinjaTrader.  You can run the bots within all of the accounts you have within one NinjaTrader license.  They will trade any account you can connect to NinjaTrader.

Yes, there are endless combinations of things you can do.  We like to let the robots run automatically, but we still trade discretionary – but different.  You can set up the robots to send the orders to an ATM inside NinjaTrader and do what you want manually.  Or you can use just the signals by setting the robot up to run in SIM so that you can see the trades and decide for yourself whether you place the trades manually or not.

Yes, you can simultaneously test as many strategies as you want and then there is a functionality you can change the settings in each strategy to test it then re-run the test of the Strategy Analyzer.  It’s a two-step process.

We have two or three which trade the EURO FX Futures, but they are mainly geared toward US Equities, NASDAQ, ES, Gold, Crude Oil, some Natural Gas, some RTY… We try to stay in markets that have volatility and market depth.

We have basically built an order management tool connected to each robot so this does not become a problem – and it works with Rithmic very well.

As a Robot Lab Member, you can submit the outline of your strategy with clear parameters that we’ll review and see if it’s a solid candidate to put into a bot. The strategy will need to have a long-term edge (10+ years) for it to be considered and the indicators would need to be either Ninjacators indicators or native indicators to the platform.

Yes.

Yes, as long as it is within NinjaTrader.

Yes.

Each robot manages risk individually, then, they are put in a portfolio to leverage their strengths and weaknesses – and minimize the weaknesses to make smaller draw-downs than what we would see on an individual robot.  This is the reason for portfolios.  Then it comes down to how each robot does it and that depends on the method used for that robot.

All in/all out because it needs to be tradable for anyone (we built these for retail traders).

Generally speaking, volatility is our friend.  Obviously, not every volatile day, week, or month will be good, but what we try to do is to find historical patterns that work with the robots/portfolios.  We can talk about this kind of thing during our Live Sessions.

The Level Touch Trader will only Auto-Enter you into the trade. If you have an ATM strategy enabled when the trade is entered then it will place the Stop and Targets in for you according to your ATM strategy.

Once the trade is entered and the ATM orders are placed, you can manually adjust the Stop/Targets just like normal.

You will need to click the menu button at the top-left of your chart to turn on "Trade Long" or "Trade Short" in order to enable the auto-entry.

It is important to remember, the Level Touch Trader will only auto-enter you into a trade. It will not manage the trade or place stops and targets in for you. The stop and target is based on your ATM strategy.

The gap is because the calculation for the grid for the day happens within that 1st hour of trading. If you want to extend the zones from the previous day into that 1st hour of trading, in the indicator settings, scroll down to "Display" then select "Plot During Input."

We are operating the Indicator of the Month Club on an automated basis. All download links to the free indicators are only valid for a certain amount of time and the array of indicators changes over time. This means it could be possible that we take some free indicators out and add new ones in. Our system will then automatically distribute the free indicators to each member on a monthly basis depending on the level of commitment of each member.

For that reason, it is really important that you keep opening your emails and use the download links which are provided with the free indicators. When you do not open the emails we send, the system will detect this and the frequency you receive the emails from us will slow down automatically as it assumes you do not have any interest in the content.

For our new 2022 Indicator Of the Month Club Indicators are currently delayed but we are working diligently to release new ones as soon as we can. As soon as they are released they are added to your Member's Area.

Some customers experience issues using the Oscillator which is Part of our Micro Power Trader. 

The problem is a data issue, the Trend Oscillator requires additional data.

Originally, the package only had the Trend Oscillator, but due to the demand, we developed an alternative Oscillator to accommodate our clients who do not have the extra data.  The Aggression Oscillator is the replacement of the Trend Oscillator due to the data conflicts.

However, we kept the Trend Oscillator for our customers who already had the data or if you ever want to upgrade the data for it.

There are now two Oscillators in the software file.  So, you may want to use the Aggression Oscillator, instead.

The requirement information are available inside your Member Area

Zorro Futures (For all Futures Markets)

Zorro Forex (For Forex Markets Only)

The listed Programs above do have a trade execution auto entry feature that you can enable or disable.

Definition Trading Execution: 

In trading, execution is the completion of a buy or sell order from a trader. It is carried out by a broker. When you tell your broker to buy or sell a particular asset, they will decide the best way of completing your request as quickly as possible.

If your NinjaTrader Machine ID is already stored and activated inside our Ninjacators Licensing system, there is no need to provide us with your NinjaTrader Machine ID again. 

Your Machine ID is generated by NinjaTrader based on your PC's fundamental hardware (like RAM, motherboard, etc.) and fundamental software (BIOS/UEFI version, Windows updates, firmware updates, etc.). If any of these items change, your machine ID is likely to change as well. 

If that happens, please send us an email to [email protected] and let us know your new Machine ID. We will replace your old NT Machine ID with the new one.

All of our software purchases are one-time payments to own the indicators for life. This also includes free upgrades and updates. 

There are no recurring fees with with our products. 

It might be that we do offer a monthly subscription, which would be a 'recurring payment'. But for our indicators and tools it's always a one-time payment.

You can use the indicator on any time-frame you like.

You are also able to plot the indicator on ANY chart type and period (Range, Renko, Tick, Minute, etc), but the calculation must always be time-based. This is explained in the video.

This means if you like to use the indicator on a non time-based chart type, you need to change the Timeframeperiod from "ChartPeriod" to minute, hour, etc. Also, you must choose a Timeframe Value other that "0".

This will allow the calculation of a different period other than the chart period. The indicator should plot on Tick, Range or Renko Charts.

We highly recommend that you take a look at the detailed video on the indicator download page.

Here are the differences between the Dynamic SR Zones Indicator and the FREE Realtime Supply and Demand Indicator:

Dynamic Support and Resistance
The calculations of the Dynamic Support and Resistance indicator are based on two major core components: Price and Volume. The indicator provides real-time support and resistance zones to detect possible market stops and reversal opportunities.
Support = is a price level which “supports” the market. Often the price has difficulties breaking through this key price level on the first test. The support levels of the Dynamic Support and Resistance indicator are based on price and volume of historically as well as real-time calculations to deliver the most possible insight of this key price level.
Resistance = is a price level which “prevents” the current market price from increasing above this level. In other words, the price has difficulties to break up through a key resistance level on the first test. The resistance levels of the Dynamic Support and Resistance indicator are based on price and volume of historically as well as real-time calculations to deliver the most possible insight of this key price level.

Realtime Supply and Demand (FREE INDICATOR)
Detects imbalances of Supply and Demand in real time and plots zones on the chart to visualize them. The indicator is built on the core concept of any market in the world; Supply and Demand moves the price.
Supply imbalance = more sellers than buyers = price will fall
Demand imbalance = more buyers than seller = price will rise

The Elliott Wave Pro Bundle was developed exclusively for NinjaTrader 8.

NinjaTrader 8 allowed us to implement advanced features not available in the NinjaTrader 7 framework.

Initially we had planned to also build a basic version of the Indicator for NinjaTrader 7, with all features which could be supported, but realizing that more than 50% of the advanced features could not be build in NinjaTrader 7, so we decided against the production.

We are committed to deliver you the best Elliott Wave Indicator on the market today and a basic version would not be in the best interest for you not for us.

Ninjacators Indicators are designed specifically for the NinjaTrader Platform. To use our indicators you will need the NinjaTrader Platform. The indicators are not currently compatible with any other platform at this time.

You can download the latest version of NinjaTrader for free at the following link: NinjaTrader Download

Please note that our company does not provide backtest results. Every purchased Product does come with detailed explanation videos and guides on how to get started with it, and we show you how each indicator works, as well as how they work in conjunction. 

We do provide preset settings that have provided the best results when we have backtested the indicator(s) but we recommend to adjust each indicator to your own trading preferences, trading style and markets. 

Yes! We provide FREE Support to all of our customers who purchase our Indicators for NinjaTrader.

We provide full Support via Email, Phone, and Chat.

Remote Sessions vary on program(s)/errors occurring and staff availability.

If you do like to get a feeling for the quality of our indicators, I would recommend that you take a look at our FREE Indicator of the Month Club, where we send you a free indicator every month. You can learn more about it and sign up right here: https://ninjacators.com/free-ninjatrader-indicator-club/

Please let us know if you do have any additional or other questions, we'll be happy to help

If you would like to have a special Indicator which is already growing in your mind, don’t hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to build you your own indicator. Just get in touch with us, tell us your idea and we will contact you to discuss it.

Ninjacators products do not work with Bloodhound at this moment. 

It can happen that you do receive an error message when you try to use or import a 3rd Party Indicator or App. 

To find where this error is coming from you need to compile an indicator. This will show you where the error is coming from.

Please follow the instructions below to see where the errors are coming from after compiling any indicator.

This will allow you to debug the indicator/strategy or remove it from your PC.

If you are wondering why you receive an error when compiling only one indicator, it is because NinjaTrader always compiles all indicators and strategies - not just one. This is done to give you the highest runtime performance possible.

• Open NinjaTrader
• From the Control Center select the Tools menu--> select the Edit NinjaScript menu item--> select Indicator
• Select any indicator and double click on it (we need only to open and compile one script to see all compile errors for all files).
• A new window will appear and you will need to right click in the window and select Compile to compile the indicators.
• At the bottom of the window a new section will appear where you can find the error locations.
• From there you have the option to comment out offending code sections, remove the complete indicator or debug it to be able to compile again.

If you are unsure as to what the error is indicating, please get in touch with NinjaTrader directly and they can take a look at the error for you.

They have also collected more comprehensive steps for resolving NinjaScript programming errors in this tip on forums - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/forum/showthread.php?t=4678

Both versions have the same functionality, features, plugins, etc.

The main difference is that the Zip file does not get installed in the system as a program, meaning that the executable files are not in the programs folder, the application does not appear on the start menu, or as part of the programs menu. Also the operating system will not associate .zip files to open with NinjaTrader automatically.

In each indicator/bundle’s section of the members area, we provide tutorial installation videos.

Please watch these and any other tutorial videos, as they are very detailed and will answer most questions.

There are three types of download files that our indicators can be, a .zip file, an .msi file, or an .exe file. 

Each indicator's members area has an instructional video for installing that particular indicator.

1. Shut down NinjaTrader - it is required that NinjaTrader be CLOSED/SHUT DOWN for this installation process.

2. Download and run the program file by double clicking on the download file, this will run the setup wizard, run until complete

3. Restart NinjaTrader

4. Open new chart or workspace

5. Click "Indicators" or "Strategies" (depending upon which program you have purchased) and the program should be there.

With Signal Selected - It will show that there is a trade signal (Green for Buy or Red for Sell) along with details such as what the tick size of the signal was and how many bars ago it triggered

With Trade Selected - It will simply show a buy signal or sell signal color with no details. (Green for Buy or Red for Sell)

"Signal" has more detail and "Trade" has less detail

The most common reason for this is the time frame you selected.  Since there is limited spacing for all the orders per price level, the larger your time frame, the less space you will have to print the order flow numbers.  We highly recommend you go with smaller time frames such as 5 minutes or less.  Depending on the volatility and volume of the instrument you trade, you will need to adjust the time frame accordingly. 

The next common issue is if you have other indicators on the chart and they are far away from the current price, you will need to go into the indicator settings and uncheck the "Auto Scale" under the "Visual" section.  Once you do this, the indicator will not show if it is too far away from the current price.

Our order flow indicators require Level 2 data from your data provider.  Since spot forex pairs are traded on decentralized exchanges, Level 2 data is not readily available.  If you would like to trade currencies using our order flow indicators, currency futures may be a better option.  Since currency futures contracts are regulated and traded on a centralized exchange, Level 2 data is readily available.  Please make sure you have Level 2 data from your data provider.
