Automated Trading – Signal Bar Breakout Failure (NT 8)

 

Only the NinjaTrader 8 version of the Signal Bar Breakout Failure indicator is compatible with BloodHound from SharkIndicators . You can call it as well from your own NinjaTrader indicators or strategies. It exposes the following data series:

Data Series/Plot Type Description
Tick_Failure_Bear_Indication <Boolean> indicates a Signal Bar Breakout Failure to the upside
(a bearish signal)
Tick_Failure_Bull_Indication <Boolean> indicates a Signal Bar Breakout Failure to the downside
(a bullish signal)

 

Only the “plain” signals (without the entry methods) can be accessed from BloodHound:

Indicator Setting Description
xTF Signal Bar Tick Breakout Failure in ticks
showEBOnly Show Tick Breakout Failure only on the Entry Bar (the bar after the Signal Bar)
showOLD not used in BloodHound
showPriorBar not used in BloodHound
show_Entry_Method not used in BloodHound

All other settings like e.g. ShowLast200, ShowAlert, SoundFile and all settings for the text or graphics aren’t used by BloodHound.
