BloodHound and Price Action Indicators
Benefits of automated trading are obvious. Traders are limited in the number of charts they can monitor at any given moment. Computers can scan several instruments and time frames with a speed incomprehensible to humans, can find setups and execute trades in under a second. We’ve put together 10+ BloodHound templates to showcase the power of the Price Action Indicators.
Only the NinjaTrader 8 versions of the Price Action Indicators below are compatible with BloodHound from SharkIndicators or can be used in the Market Analyzer/Strategy Builder of NinjaTrader. You can call them as well from your own NinjaTrader indicators or strategies.

Basic helper indicators for automated trading (free to use)
The indicators below are helper indicators, but can be used on their own as well (e.g. BloodHound) or within your own code. If used on a chart, they plot as a histogram. These indicators are part of the paid Price Action Indicators (and are installed along with them), but can be used without purchasing a license.

BloodHound Templates
Download the file “PA_Indicators_BloodHound_Templates.zip” from below and open it. The file contains 12 BloodHound template files for the Price Action Indicators.
Download BloodHound Templates
Unpack and copy the .bht files to the following folder: …\Documents\NinjaTrader 8\templates\BloodHound\
Please also download the file “PA_Indicators_Chart_Templates_for_BloodHound.zip” from below. It contains the corresponding Ninjatrader chart templates. The chart templates take care of loading the same indicators (loaded in the BloodHound templates) onto the chart.
Download Chart Templates
Unpack and copy the .xml files to the following folder. …\Documents\NinjaTrader 8\templates\Chart\
Then you can open Ninjatrader and load a chart template. It should load BloodHound and the corresponding BloodHound template. Use them as a starting point for your strategies. Some BloodHound templates have no logic, just check the solvers on and off to see how that changes the signals.
You can also load the BloodHound templates directly in BloodHound (without the chart templates).
Please download the paid and the free Price Action Indicators since most templates use some basic (free) indicators too.
