Automated Trading – Buy Sell Pressure (NT 8)
Only the NinjaTrader 8 version of the Buy Sell Pressure indicator is compatible with BloodHound from SharkIndicators or can be used in the Market Analyzer/Strategy Builder of NinjaTrader. You can call it as well from your own NinjaTrader indicators or strategies. It exposes the following data series and plots.
| Data Series / Plot | Type | Description / Value |
| BullMomentum | <Integer> | indicates a Bull Momentum pattern |
| BearMomentum | <Integer> | indicates a Bear Momentum pattern |
| BullExhaustion | <Integer> | indicates a Bull Exhaustion pattern |
| BearExhaustion | <Integer> | indicates a Bear Exhaustion pattern |
| BullMomentum_Extended (a) | <Integer> | indicates a Bull Momentum pattern |
| BearMomentum_Extended (a) | <Integer> | indicates a Bear Momentum pattern |
| BullExhaustion_Extended (a) | <Integer> | indicates a Bull Exhaustion pattern |
| BearExhaustion_Extended (a) | <Integer> | indicates a Bear Exhaustion pattern |
| Plot BullMomentum | n/a | indicates Bull Momentum ( +1 ) |
| Plot BearMomentum | n/a | indicates Bear Momentum ( +1 ) |
| Plot BullExhaustion | n/a | indicates Bull Exhaustion ( +1 ) |
| Plot BearExhaustion | n/a | indicates Bear Exhaustion ( +1 ) |
(a) Using the “Extend Signals for N bars” setting in the indicator settings, the initial signals can be extended to a fixed number of bars following it. If set to e.g. 5, a Buying Pressure signal from five bars ago is still “valid” on the current bar and indicated in the “_Extended” data series.
The following settings can be accessed from BloodHound:
| Indicator Setting | Description |
| show_MOM | Momentum signals |
| show_EXH | Exhaustion signals |
| showBodies | Checks the change of bodies of bars for BGP and SGP |
| showTails | Checks the change of tails of bars for BGP and SGP |
| showOverlap | Checks the change of overlap of bars for BGP and SGP |
| showBrsSrsOnOpen | Checks for gaps between the Opens of bars and the closes of prior bars |
| extend_Signals | Extend Signals for N bars, also refer here at the bottom of the page |
All other settings like e.g. ShowLast200, ShowAlert, SoundFile and all settings for the text or graphics aren’t used by BloodHound.

A basic BloodHound Setup
For a basic setup in BloodHound use two “Indicator Threshold Solvers”.
https://www.sharkindicators.com/documentation/confidence-solvers/indicator-threshold/
 |
To filter all Reversal Bars or Patterns assign the Long side of the Threshold Solver to the RVB_Bull_Indication Series and the Short side to the RVB_Bear_Indication series .
Also setup the Thresholds like shown in the screenshot. |
 |
To filter only Reversal Bars or Patterns for prior Exhaustion, assign the Short side of the Threshold Solver to the BullExhaustion_Extended and the Long side to the BearExhaustion_Extended series.
Also setup the Thresholds like shown in the screenshot. |

Market Analyzer Column Setup
To setup a Market Analyzer Column follow the instructions in the NinjaTrader help guide:
https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/?market_analyzer.htm

First setup a new column with an indicator as an input value. Chose PAReversalSignalBars as that indicator. Be sure to also setup the right Data Series and Time Frame. This screenshot is for Buying Pressure. Setup another column for Selling Pressure (the Short side). https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/?working_with_columns.htm |

To highlight cells in the new column, setup a cell condition. One for the Buying Pressure and another one for a Selling Pressure column. https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/?creating_cell_and_filter_condi.htm |
