Getting started

Installation
Firstly, please download the latest install .zip file from the product web page.

To install, from your Ninjatrader 8 ‘Tools’ menu, select ‘Import’ and ‘Ninjascript Add-On’

Browse to the location you saved the .zip file to and select the .zip file. Ninjatrader will now import the file. This may take a minute. You will hopefully get a message saying the add on has been successfully imported. If installation fails for any reason, please check your Ninjatrader control centre ‘Log’ tab and look for any error messages. These are usually in a different colour.

Adding the indicator to a chart
Let’s open a new chart from the Ninjatrder control centre. Once you have a new chart open, you can add the indicator to the chart by right-clicking the chart and choosing ‘Indicators’

from the list of indicators that appears in the ‘Available’ column, find and double click the indicator you downloaded. Many of the pjs Indicators will start with ‘pjs’.

Scroll to the very bottom of the settings on the right. You are looking for the section per the image below. For most of the ‘Overlay’ indicators, i.e. indicators that are in the main chart window and overlay the screen, you want the settings as shown. If your chart is all squished up after adding an indicator, this is probably why (some of the indicators have additional plots which will make the ‘AutoScale’ include values down to zero).

Once the indicator is added to the chart, you may prefer to increase the default right side chart spacing. Do this by right-clicking the chart, clicking on properties, and setting this value per the image below

That’s it! Hopefully, you made it this far without issue. If you did, time to enjoy playing with those settings and preferences, and seeing what works best for you.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points that can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect trading results.
