Course content

4 sections • 36 lectures • 7h 3m total length

  • Downloading and Installing NinjaTrader Indicators.4:29

    Method 1:

    Do not open them after downloading them... The files will be zipped and need to remain that way for the install. They can only be used in 8. It will be a little bit of a process, but it is extremely important that you learn how to do this. When it comes to being independent and responsible, learning how to install and change the settings will be a key part of the whole process!

    Download Indicators for NT8 in the downloads section of this lesson.

    Once downloaded, you'll pull up the Control Center, click on Tools, Import, then NinjaScript Add-On... After which, you will select the files you just downloaded in order to have them in your indicator list. They will now be imported and usable! DO NOT OPEN THE ZIP FILE when you import it-- just import the entire zip my friends!


    FOR THE MACD BBs: I have changed my personal colors to darker than I originally had them created-- I liked the lighter colors but the white didn't show up as well--if you would like to use the same colors I am, they are TEAL for the Dots Rising and INDIGO for the Dots Falling

    If you already have workspaces and just need the indicator information, the closes on the bars (the dots) are the 1 SMA set to Black, Dot, Dot, 4 (although the size of the dot may vary depending on your Screen configuration - adjust the dot to suit your preference and match the sizing shown throughout the curriculum). Also, I have deleted the text in the "label" section because I find they can get in the way on your charts at time. It is up to you if you'd like to keep them.

    The other EMAs are the 55 and the 144. I always make the 144 thicker, that way when you match it with the next tick chart.

    The 144 (large) EMA on the 233 chart IS the 55 (small)EMA on the 1597chart.
    And the 144 (large) EMA on the 1597 chart IS the 55 (small)EMA on the 10946 chart.

    I know that's a little confusing, but it will make more sense as you go through the course in the EMA section. But to keep the flow of things, I use the same color to represent the EMA from one chart to another. (So that 144 EMA on the 233 chart and the 55 on the 1597 chart might both be the same color purple).


    NinjaTrader 8 ERROR MESSAGE : If you are seeing an error message stating that the indicators cannot load due to them being from an older version of NinjaTrader please follow the process in the video above to see how to delete and replace indicators. You will also need to complete a similar process with your workspaces. Please see the next section of the curriculum "Downloading and Install the Workspaces for NinjaTrader 8" for a walk through video showing the process of resetting your workspaces. You can complete both actions simultaneously to save yourself time.


    Method 2: Please watch the video above to see method 2 in which you manually copy and paste the indicators into the "indicators" folder


    .CS File

    In the download section I have included the Tick Counter as just the file itself (.cs). If you are having trouble where the Tick counter is not showing up, please try downloading the cs file and pasting it into your indicators folder (Method 2).

  • Downloading and Installing NinjaTrader Workspaces4:51

    VERY IMPORTANT: To install a workspace click the Download button, CLOSE NINJATRADER, and unzip downloaded .zip file to Documents\NinjaTrader 8\workspaces\ folder.

    If you do not close NT, you will not receive the files correctly.

    IF something happens to one of your charts and you accidentally delete it, you have a few options- you can close without saving and get it back OR you can go to the workspaces folder in your NinjaTrader8 Documents folder and recover it from there.

    All colors are customizable, so if you want to change them, you can-- BUT we have designed the EMAs so that the colors connect from one chart to another (which you will find out more about it through the course). Please consider going through the course and hearing how they connect before you choose to change colors.

    For this course, you will have access to all of the charts. It will include charts for both the ES and MES. Also, make sure you are in the current contract, which you can see located in the top left corner of the chart. It will say the month and the day. You will want to make sure it says the month that is ahead of us-- or the future month. If you are just opening your charts for the first time, if necessary, it will ask you to roll over your contracts. Say yes to this as it will be quick and easy through this process.

    Example: If the month you are in is currently October in the year 2021-- you want it to show the future contract of December 2021 (12-21)

    Loading the workspaces for the first time will take significantly longer due to having to load all historical chart data. Subsequent load times will be quicker.

    The ES will include the 233, 610, 1597, 4181, 10946, 28657, The Daily, The Control Center and The Trade Performance Log.

    The MES will include the 144, 377, 987, 2584, 6765, 177711, The Daily, The Control Center and The Trade Performance Log.

    ES Less Days to Load - use this workspace if your computer is fairly old / is struggling with NinjaTrader. It will have less days to load so will load a lot quicker, but for homework you will require more days to load.


    NinjaTrader 8 ERROR MESSAGE : If you are seeing an error message stating that the workspaces cannot load due to them being from an older version of NinjaTrader please follow the process in the video above to see how to reset the workspaces. You will also need to complete a similar process with your indicators. Please see the previous section of the curriculum "Downloading and Install the RDT Indicators for NinjaTrader 8" for a walk through video showing the process of resetting your indicators to fix this error message. You can complete both actions simultaneously to save yourself time.

  • Introduction to RDT CORE Part 21:04

    Combine proven edge divergence with price turn analysis to identify high-probability trades, assess market direction, and refine timing through bar-by-bar market replays.

  • Divergence Basics6:58

    So, we're kicking off Divergence. As you may already know-- Divergence is the difference between price and MACDs. This tool will help you to see changes in the immediate direction... as well as the longer term. Divergences on the smaller scale will allow you to take much quicker profits and prepare for deeper pullbacks.

    These puppies will help you to understand when a push in a certain direction is limited. When you understand that, you can be more responsible with your entries, exits and your stop management. As you're looking through this chapter, you'll see that Divergences can really open your eyes to turn-arounds. Even if it is only short term.

    Now a Divergence is not an absolute, but a sign. Here, you will learn how to recognize when Divergence Potential is on the plate or how to see that you no longer have Divergence..... Or to even see Divergences after the initial one happens-- or what to even DO after your first Divergence completes and another one sets up.

    This, and the next section with Retracement Divergence, can get a little tricky but once you got it-- YOU GOT IT! Just think of it as understanding when the market is a little out of whack or where things are just flowing along in tune. Either way-- the MACDs will give you signals as to what you're looking for-- you just have to learn to read them. And that's why we're here!

  • Retracement Divergence11:39

    Retracement Divergence is one of my FAVORITE patterns in the market! It is what gives me some BIG confidence in the MACDs.. It helps me to know when the ride is about to roll out-- or possibly even be cut short! Looking for Retracement Divergence might require you to use the Fib Retracement tool at first-- but after a while, it should feel pretty natural to notice it.

    Now, Retracement Divergence is still a difference between the price and the MACDs BUT now we're going to see them in a different light. We will still be looking in the current direction that the chart is traveling (if going down, we'll look to the bottoms of the pivots or up to the tops of the pivots). BUT now we will be seeing a difference in how far the price travels in that direction compared to the MACDs....

    A lot of times, this particular type of Divergence will follow other Divergences or even Market Patters-- but it can stand alone just as easy as it can work in conjunction with other Divergences and patterns. But as I said-- this move-- is my JAM and I LOVE to use it! It can make you feel like an absolute market wizard. And if you don't hesitate to do the right tings at the right time when you see them-- you'll look like a market wizard too!

    We will be using them on all tick charts and will be putting it all together in the final video--- And there are some Divergences that, once you learn them-- like the Super and Ultra Retracement Divergence (AKA BB Slide) then you'll be about 100 steps closer to being ready to pull the trigger on these puppies! There is definitely still a bit more to learn about Divergence-- like what happens when it resets and how to read it in the bigger picture vs the smaller-- but each step is a step in the right direction here!

If you want to use the fib retracement tool to check some of these out-- please do-- play around with the settings on the drawing tool so you can see the lines more clearly-- you can extend them in the direction that helps you most-- and you can put the text where you want it--- Just DO NOT change the % settings to different numbers! If you want to shut some of them off, go for it for sure-- just leave the percent's where they are :)


    Homework-- 10 of each:

    • Retracement Divergence Up

    • Retracement Divergence Down

    • Super Retracement Divergence Up

  • Divergence Reversal12:06

    So now, we're going to learn how to use Divergence when we see it happening away from the EMAs. This is known to others as a Divergence Reversal. When this happens, we're looking for the Divergence to take us back down, either to the area of the EMAs on the bigger charts, OR to push it through the EMAs and change the direction. Meaning it could shift the direction by getting back on the other side of the EMAs and the Zero Line.

    Divergence plays a key role in all that we do here at RDT. It helps us to see the shift in the direction before it actually happens and helps us to see how far the market can push. Learning this, and how to use it, will make huge shift in your own trading and will allow you to see and react to moves before they even begin. Its not magic, its knowledge my friends!

  • Homework: Divergence Reversals7:16

    Alright guys, so we are going to be needing those Divergence Reversal examples. So remember we want to be looking at the overall picture when we are trying to find those divergences. So working from a top down perspective will be key for this homework.

    Now when we are trading we can still take divergences at Intermediate levels (Between the higher time frame pivots) but you will begin to understand this more as you get more screen time and get familiar with how divergences play out, and learn how to read multiple signals at the same time.

    But for now we want to keep it simple and focus on those higher time frame charts.


    Requirements:

    - 10 Examples of Divergence Reversals to to the Upside (3 Chart View)

    - 10 Examples of Divergence Reversals to the Downside (3 Chart View).

  • Divergence with White MACD BBs12:16

    Alright guys and gals, we can now look at combining those white BBs with those Divergences. Two or more signals presenting themselves at the same time, what's not to love about that!

    So, the white BBs with the MACDs. These things have been a fairly new addition to our trading and as helped us to take things to the next level. The white BBs will be preset with and without divergence. But understanding how they work and when to really pay attention to them will make also be a key component in understanding when the market has the opportunity to make a shift. When you add divergence into the mix, it can make the anticipation of the shift even stronger. And when it lines up on multiple charts, then you want to have your eyes open and be aware of what's to come!

  • Homework: Divergence with White MACD BBs8:35

    Homework Part 1 : Single Chart View - Double White BBs.

    - 5 Examples of Divergence with double white bbs to downside
    - 5 Examples of Divergence with Double White bbs to Upside

    Homework Part 2: 3 Chart View - High Time Frame White BBs Focus.

    - 5 Examples of HTF white BBs to Upside (3 Chart View)
    - 5 Examples of HTF white BBS to downside (3 Chart View)

    Find those white BBs in the High Tick Chart, Identify signals from the other charts which are in agreement with those white BBs (White BBs, Divergences, Snapback look etc)

    Homework Part 3 : 3 Chart View - Signals From all Charts

    For this final homework part we want to put together everything we have learned. We want to see the white BBs utilized on at least one chart for each example. This exercise is similar to part 2, however we do not require the examples to have the white BBs on the Higher Time Frame.

    You may wish to identify other signals such as a Slow on Roll at the EMAS on the High Time Frame, the 1597 could have a Divergence with white BBs, the entry chart be bouncing off the Zero line. You could have a 10946 Snapback with white BBs, 1597 Retracement Divergence, 233 Retracement Divergence - for example.

    So there is a wide array of examples that can be found for this last part, we really want to get you used to pairing signals together and also seeing how those White BBs really add an extra layer of confluence for our trading signals.

    - 5 Examples of White BBs (with a form of Divergence on at least one chart) - Going to Downside.

    - 5 Examples of White BBs (with a form of Divergence on at least one chart) - Going to Upside

  • Divergence at the EMAs10:14

    Well, we have made it my friends! We have arrived at the end of section 1 in part 2 of the curriculum. Of course it doesn't end there, but as for your basic course lessons, this will be the wrap up. Try not be too disappointed now, there is still much more for us to cover ;).

    So we have seen how divergences can be used for reversal the market, but here is how we use divergences going WITH the market.

    Many times, we'll see, what looks like, a strong push in the market and we will get on the other side of the EMAs on the smaller tick chart. But as we are reaching (or slightly overrun) the larger tick chart EMAs, we'll start to see divergences appear on the smaller tick chart. This will let us know that the EMAs on the big chart have a better chance of giving a bounce, or even holding, as the smaller charts are slowing down and showing reasons for a turn to continue with the trend.

    This is such a vital part of what we do and shows us just how the divergences allows us to look like "magicians" in predicting the turn of the move. Its definitely not rocket science but it is a formula that can help your trading continue to work for you instead of against you.

  • Homework: Divergence at the EMAs9:16

    Homework: Part 1 - One chart only - Going with the EMAs

    - 10 Screenshots showing all the divergences which go with the EMAS - (Traditional Divergence & Retracements divergences)

    Homework Part 2: - Going with the EMAS - 3 Chart View - Examples will be easier to find when all charts are trending

    - 10 Screenshots - Going with the EMAs (5 to downside, 5 to upside) - Look when price has pulled back to High Time Frame EMA, draw a box around it and apply to all charts, then identify all of the divergences which are going with the Higher Time Frame EMAs.

    Homework Part 3: Divergences in both directions

    - 10 Screenshots of ALL divergences at the EMAs - 5 examples of HTF EMAs to downside, 5 Examples HTF EMAs to Upside -

    Similar to before, highlight an area on the Higher Tick Chart, draw and box around it and apply to all charts. Then we want to identify all of the Divergences which are presenting themselves on each chart (Going in accordance WITH the Higher Time EMAs, and also going AGAINST the Higher Time Frame EMAs)

    This part of the homework is really to illustrate to you that we have divergences going on all the time and in both directions. So it is our job to read what is going on in the overall picture and make a judgements based on the signals we are reading from the charts in front of us. If we are in a downtrend and we see retracement divergences on the smaller tick chart to the upside - it does not mean that the retracement divergence will not play out, it just means that on average we would expect far less of a reaction / follow through of that retracement divergence, especially if price is trying to push against a strong area on the Higher Time Frame - such as the EMAs.
