MT Signals Generic Trader Pro NinjaTrader Indicator

MT Signals Generic Trader Pro

Pre-Requisites

Introduction

The "MT Signals Generic Trader Pro" indicator is an upgrade for the old "MT Signals Generic Trader" to allow a trader to combine one or many signals from a collection of Signals Indicators - (supplied in the MT NinjaTrader Framework or user defined custom Signals Indicators which implement the MT Signals Indicators interfaces ) and to consolidate the signals into 1 signal based on a threshold of longs versus shorts - to allow this to be backtested and run in realtime on a chart or a strategy. The legacy MT Signals Generic Trader only allows you to consolidate signals at runtime from the indicators running on a chart- MT Signals Generic Trader Pro allows consolidation of both realtime chart indicators and those defined in a list.

Each user specified and loaded indicator can be duplicated with 1 or many user defined settings stored as a number and user friendly name - via the MT Zone Setting ID - a numeric parameter part of the MT signals Interface to uniquely identify a local setting. Some are presets deployed during installation - other settings are user defined, saved and later loaded at runtime by the Numeric ID. So it is possible to load 1 or many indicator clones with different parameter sets or simply to load a series of different indicators all with their own specific settings instead of the defaults - which can also be loaded - you don't need to use a Zone Setting ID - it can be left at 0.

The List of Signals indicators are loaded by the MT Signals Generic Pro indicator as it is loaded onto a chart or internally into a strategy - the indicators run in background memory and do not appear on the charts directly - but their configuration, output and signal state is displayed optionally to show what is going on - in a multiple signals indicator orchestration. The Signals indicators themselves will run on the same dataseries as the primary dataseries - but some may additionally run on secondary multiple time frames internally.

Essentially you can load 1 or 1000s of indicators - it's unlimited - test them historically and or view them in realtime - the end result 1 signal long or short on your chart - which can be manually traded or auto traded by one of the framework strategies.

Using your own custom indicators:

Your custom indicators must be implement or derive from the MT Signals Indicator Silver bullet interfaces which are exposed by the MicroTrends NinjaTrader Framework 7 base classes/ API. Once you create your indicators and compile them you simply load them to the list of indicators.

There is an example of an custom indicator derived from the MicroTrends NinjaTrader Framework 7 SDK:

MicroTrendsSDKNBarReversal

the physical file name is:

MicroTrends.MTNTF.Indicator.NBarReversal.cs

This indicator is in the SDK that bundles with the MT Framework installer - it will be deposited in the indicators folder in NinjaTrader.

You can edit it and save as a new indicator classname and file and edit with your own logic - to save you trying to build it from scratch etc...

After you compile it will be able to work in the MT Generic Signals Trader Pro indicator and strategy
