NinjaTrader TTM Squeeze Indicator

NinjaTrader TTM Squeeze Indicator
NinjaTrader TTM Squeeze Indicator employs both volatility and momentum to help traders to see the moments where the price breaks the range and moves in one of the two possible directions.

NinjaTrader TTM Squeeze Indicator

NinjaTrader TTM Squeeze Indicator is based on three classic technical analysis tools – Bollinger Bands (BB), Keltner Channels and Momentum Oscillator.

A combination of Bollinger Bands (BB), Keltner Channels indicators helps to determine when an asset is consolidating (squeezing) and signals when the price is ready to break out / drop.

The period of low volatility happens when BB stands inside Keltner Channel. The price makes small fluctuations at this moment. However, once BB breaks out Keltner Channel, the volatility increases, indicating that the price is likely to take one of the two possible directions.

At the moment when the price leaves the area with low volatility, attention switches to the Momentum Oscillator. The Momentum Oscillator shows the likely direction of further price movement and helps determine entry / exit points.

Visually, the NinjaTrader TTM Squeeze indicator consists of a histogram and small dots located along the zero line, indicating whether the asset is in squeeze.

When the volatility is low, the dots are painted in red. Once the volatility grows, and the Bolinger Bands indicators break outside Keltner Channel, the dots change their color to green. This is when it is important to focus on the Momentum histogram. It shows the direction of the price to move. If the histogram is above the basic 0 level, the price is likely to grow, while being below this basic 0 level, Momentum indicates a probability of further price plunge.

The indicator can be used in various breaking and trend following strategies. This tool allows traders to find entry points when the price suddenly breaks the range and goes in one of the directions. In trend following strategies, this indicator helps traders to find out the current market situation and make more reasonable decisions.

NinjaTrader TTM Squeeze Indicator allows you to set up various types of alerts.

By default, the indicator uses standard Bollinger Bands and the original Keltner Channel settings, as well as a 20-period Momentum Histogram, but the number of periods and other settings can be adjusted to your preference.

Once the dots become green, this is an alert for the trader to prepare to open positions. The best moment to enter into the market is when the histogram breaks the 0 line out or down. If it goes above the basic level, it is time to place a BUY order. If the price breaks the basic level down, a trader can place a SELL order.

The indicator features two signal types:

Standard Mode: In this mode, a buy signal is generated when the histogram is above the zero line, while a sell signal is triggered when the histogram drops below the zero line.

Ascent/Descent Mode: Here, a buy signal is produced when the histogram shows an upward trend, regardless of its position relative to the zero line. Conversely, a sell signal is activated when the histogram exhibits a downward trend.
