Here’s a look at NinjaTrader 8 using the indicators from DayTradeToWin.com. If you’re transitioning from NinjaTrader 7, you will be familiar with the layout in this new version. It’s important to slowly upgrade to ensure that all of your settings and indicators will remain compatible. Don’t put yourself in a position where you are using a platform that’s entirely unfamiliar with indicators that may not work as expected. You can install NinjaTrader 8 alongside NinjaTrader 7, so it’s easy to compare the changes. To install an indicator, go to NinjaTrader’s Control Center > Tools > Import NinjaScript Add-On… > navigate to the folder containing the indicator .zip file and double-click the file. The indicator should then be imported and you can add it to a chart.
How do you add an indicator to a chart? The process is very similar to NinjaTrader 7. Simply right-click the chart > Indicators… > select the indicator in the top-left list and double-click it > the indicator should appear in the bottom-left panel > click it and configure desired settings in the right panel > click OK > the indicator should appear on the chart. In the video, you can see how all of the DayTradeToWin indicators are available: ATO, Roadmap, Atlas Line, Trade Scalper, News, Multilines, and ABC. In terms of enhancements, the Atlas Line now shows “Atlas” before all the double bar trades. Similarly, the ATO uses “ATO” before the entry price. This makes it easy to tell the signals apart. The news indicator has been entirely revamped, it’s much cleaner under the hood and its colors work on both light and dark charts.
The Roadmap indicator now provides entry signals and clearly labels each zone. It’s one of the main methods taught in the eight-week Mentorship Program. It overrides other strategies taught in Mentorship. The underlying strategies is based on common manipulation levels. In the Mentorship class, you learn how to use price action to find trades on your own without the aid of indicators. The only exception to this is the Atlas Line, which remains a proprietary calculation. Price action ensures that you’re trading mechanically, without emotions. The ATO (At the Open) strategy is making a resurgence. It was the main strategy that DayTradeToWin offered within the first couple years of its existence. Now, traders have the opportunity to purchase the strategy and get the same, reliable signals.
