OK, I stumbled across #TheStrat a long, long time ago, but I don’t really do longer-term trades (I’m a scalper), so I never really pursued it. Recently another trader brought it to my attention again. So, I thought I’d code it up, given nothing seemed to exist on the NT platform. Hardly tested at all as of yet. Early release pre-holiday in case anyone wants to have a play with it.
Features of #TheStrat indicator
Labels the bars according to #TheStrat definitions (as I interpreted them!). Also adds entry and profit target markers.
Here’s an example daily NQ chart with the markup (click for full-size image)

As usual, let me know below if any issues and I will try to resolve them, time permitting.
Updates
2021.05.02 – Added new labelling options. Can now optionally remove labels, or use the short form only. Made signal (entry) lines thicker. Fixed trade sound alerts and made sound file user selectable. Also added optional NT stardard Alerts, so you can channel trade signals to an alerts tab/window. To upgrade, simply re-download and install as usual.
Licensing
This tool is completely free (except for your gratitude – I like that as a form of payment, cheers, and thanks for your support!).

Support
None, though let me know of any issues and I will probably fix them.

The download doesnt seem to work.
Hi – What error etc. do you get? Problem downloading, installing?
Hi Smith, When I click the download button, I get a blank screen. I tried to download other free indicators to check if the download works, it does work correctly. I guess something is a issue with the download in chrome. I tried it in Bing/Internet explorer, it worked. Thanks for the response
Hi Smith,
I am not seeing (after ensuring chart background is right color), ‘3’ and ‘1’ text for candles, I only see ‘2’ candles marked correctly. Is there something I am missing ?
What time frame? I am seeing 1, 2, and 3 candles. just like the example image at the top of this page. Email me a screenshot, perhaps?
Sorry, I played around with background colors, I see them in very faint print, is there anyway we can control the color for the 1,2, and 3 in indicator parameter ?
This is certainly something I would normally have done. Left them as options. This was, however, a fairly quick job and I was keeping it simple 🙂
Leave it with me and I will make the colours configurable in the settings next week, the push out a new version.
Thanks a lot. This is a amazing chart tool.
Hi, I like your implementation of TheStrat for Ninja. I would like to be able to modify it myself. Would you be willing to sell the source code?
Hi! I’m liking it so far. Is there any way you could modify it to be IsSuspendedWhileInactive = false? I like to use tabs and a) would like to be alerted when I get a signal in an inactive tab and b) would like not to be bombarded with the old alerts when it open a tab that has been inactive for a while…
Hi,
I did make it true intentionally as I use tabs and want the signals still to be generated. I will try and add an option for this in the next update so you can set it as you prefer, though.
OMG can we get a strategy for Rob Smith’s “The Strat”? please!!
I am working on something! But, the indie was actually built so you can use it in a strategy too…
I want to make my own strategy using your strat code but I have nothing to reference.
All of your code is hidden behind the encrypted DLL file so I dont know what functions to call?
I dont know what functions I can use.
Sorry I’m new to C#
Please help?
thanks
You don’t call any functions. Just use Ninjatrader 8 strategy code to access the publicly exposed series/variables. Sorry, but I can’t really help with dev more than that.
hello, i just randomly came across your site here. i had been looking for something for NT in regards to the STRAT. what i’m really looking for though is the labels for time frame continuity.
For instance for each time frame. 5M, 15M, 30M, 60M etc. The labels would either be red or green based on the current price. I have the code for think or swim if it would be helpful. if you are interested and possibly writing the code for this let me know. really appreciate what you’ve done here already. thanks
I’m interested in this too. If he doesnt do it, maybe I can figure it out this weekend. I just need to learn this new to me code. Should be easy. I already have labels
