MicroTrends NinjaTrader Framework version 7.0.1.46 has been released
MTStrategyBase changes: A Vital update that closes overfilled positions on quick reversals whereby a stop and a close order are both filled has been resolved - simply any positions long or short after the close order has been sent is then flattened. Also, an change so that when the TradeSetup(fired) method is called it is only effectice for flat positions with working entry orders - this should alleviate overfills whereby orders marked for cancel are not partially filled or filled in fast reversal/ order cancellation scenarios.
Indicators - MT Speed Bar Speed Per Minute and MT Speed Tick Speed Per Minute has been released.
MT Ninja Control Panel - has been updated to allow a user to swtich off the web browser that shows the quiclinks and connectes to google analytics
MT Easy Trader - Order visualisations have been switched on by default.

Version 7.0.0.46 Current Work
The MTStrategy Base engine is the signal to order/trade management technology built within NinjaTrader by MicroTrends used by all strategies and is currently undergoing a revamp which has taken priority over all other activities and should be complete this week after which will address overfill and stop placement omissions - whereby sometimes on a reversal when a close order and stop is hit the reverse signal sometimes has too many lots due to the overfill, which for fast reversal or scalping type of strategies can be an issue - support guides will then be the focus to complete...

1Give a man a fish, he will eat. Teach a man to fish he will eat for the rest of his life..
#2 So for all you traders asking me for best settings...please don't ask me for a fish. See #1
#3 Do any of your strategies work – send me YOUR settings – find them yourself..doh! See #1
#4 If I buy one of your race cars will I win the race? The driver and their car setup wins the race... The driver must learn to drive and control their own destiny
#5 I dont have time to learn I want money now...i need to win now, just give me your secrets for $999... Give up you're dead already – trading has no time for your sort...you are doomed.
#6 I want to learn and have an open mind... Welcome to MicroTrends lets see what we can for you..
Why don't you start by relaxing and taking your time...this takes dedication and brains...

tip: create sim accounts in NinjaTrader for an instrument and a particular strategy and parameterset
This way you have a track record of all tests you have done.
Correlate the parameterset with the account etc..

MicroTrends can also assist you so can bind using interfaces to indicators on charts by name - then access generic dataseries at specific elements and process the data. If you have implemented an interface or base class these will be accessible in the same way and indexes. This is how to get around compilation and type differences in NT - whereby an indicator not compiled in MTStrategyBase is accessed in custom code.

Something like the pattern attached will allow you to trade any custom indicator via the MT Strategy Generic Signals Trader. It will simply pick up the signals.
you could also just embed that code in a strategy that inherits the MTStrategyBase class see pattern 2 below.

Hi
Sorry for the long wait. An emergency release for version 7.0.0.45 which has completely removed all that "expired anti hacking functionality" has been rolled out today. It also included many othe enhancements and features - some of which were de scoped or frozen for later completion in 7.0.0.46. This situation will not arise again.
Please install the version 7.0.0.45, this version was completed over the weekend and tested against against replay, and live market data today, however due to the urgency of the release, please do report any anomalies, so they addressed in 7.0.0.46 – which will shortly follow.
Installation
Via the download package: http://www.micro-trends.co.uk/ninjatrader-downloads/
Or via the MT Ninja Control Panel
see http://help.microtrends.co
After installation please - right click the M icon near clock and click exit so that the MT Ninja Control panel restarts with version 1.0.0.5 in the title bar - it will also show you which version of the Framework you have installed.
7.0.0.45 will notify you of any updates such as 7.0.0.46 - but will never expire!
Many thanks
MicroTrends Support

#1 A
define and put all the rules into an indicator.
entries ,re-entries etc… long,short,exit
#1 B
create auto trader that trades the signals.
#1 C
Rent a cheap set of servers…
2 to 4 servers is best so you can test in parallel with different targets, stops etc and not blow the server up…
#2
select a small basket to trade on
ES,TF,NQ, 6B,6E,6S,GC,CL,FGBL,ZN etc
N.B micros currencies and metals are good for testing software robustness at a smaller risk
decide on settings
test in real-time on a server
collate stats
#3
if good
go live
if not tweak and go back to #2
#4
Live trade
collate and assess stats
if good continue
else
go back to #2

Tom,
thank you for providing the new links.
Seemingly my AV program isn't just overzealous but very tenacious too. I think have to wait for the next release. May I ask how long it will approximately take?
Regards,
PS: This is the error message I receive after downloading from the new source:
Download complete
ERROR!
Please contact support@microtrends.co
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Falscher Parameter
at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithShellExecuteEx(ProcessStartInfo startInfo)
at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start()

That would be an overzealous AV program.
You can either disable your scanner and then re-enable.
or
Wait for V 7.0.0.45 which has code signing certificates attached
Or
Try this new link i just posted at http://www.microtrends.co/ninjatrader-downloads/
http://downloads.microtrends.co/MTNTF7-Downloader.application
it uses a MicroSoft Shim program to download the MTNTF7-Setup.exe

Install the MicroTrends NinjaTrader Framework, then import into NinjaTrader as shown here: http://www.microtrends.co/downloads
You are now able to reference and use the MTNTF7 API.
A strategy will need programming to work with the MTStratgeyBase or will need to be created supporting an interface.
There are several patterns to do it:
1. create an indicator using the signals base class & silver bullet interface:
http://forum.micro-trends.co.uk/topic1074-mt-signals-ma-crossover-indicator.aspx
This can be pickied up on chart by the MT Generic Signals Trader Strategy.
2. Code directly in strategy
http://forum.micro-trends.co.uk/topic1100-atr-breakout-strategy.aspx
3. Hosted signals indicator in strategy

Discretionary Trading FOREX with Indicators Discretionary Trading 4 FOREX instruments at once on charts will hone your skills, allow diversification and provide you with enough signals per session to negate the need to impulse trade or to look to add in other patterns.
FOREX LONDON MORNING SESSION HIGH TO LOW This is the latest simplification and evolution of the MT3 High Low Forex trading techniques I have used successfully for many years, and posted about previously albeit in a verbose way!
INDICATORS CalcOnBarClose
MT3
ATR Range HTF
MT Levels Fib Grid
CurrentDayOHL
TIP! Download daily data and tick data for 5 to 15 days if possible
The DataSeries Chosen is 100 range charts - or alternatively Renko 100 (10th pip settings)
GBPUSD, EURUSD, USDCHF, AUDUSD
Trading at high energy times, using a High to Low Reversal pattern
When trading fill in the journal ASAP after trade entry, do this to take a break and to stop trade interference.
Automatic Trade Management
Use the Chart trader + ATM or the MicroTrends Easy Trader to automatically handle the trade so you don't use emotion.
Forex Trade Plan & Trading Journal The file below is a Trade Log and also contains the Trade System Rules.
TIP! Sheet 1 is the journal, Sheet 2 is the Trade Plan
Money management, risk stop loss, targets, lots, trails, definition of patterns to trade, indicators and data series.
As you trade and fill in the journal record Stats for:
predicted range % at reversal and Fib grid levels
Later you can combine this information to identify high probability set-ups
Advanced trading and usage of stats' Take targets and stop based on trade profit v.s. daily range as shown by Fib Grid and Range.
If you take a trade that is 100% of the daily range - stop trading! you hit the jackpot, don't give it back by trading more.
In the attached spreadsheet; Sheet 1 contains the Trading Journal, Sheet 2 contains the Trade System rules.
Daily Profit Targets
You will need to decide what to do if you hit 2 maximum home runs on 2, but have a small string of losses in the other instruments, you may decide to stop at that point unless the other 2 are in profit too, then let them run, you may chose to let the open trades run and trade no more after.
Practice and learn
Trade this live on the SIM in real-time for 2 to 3 weeks at least before risking live trading. If you are new 2 to 3months is best.

Mikogo was really not up to the job due to global bandwidth issues - so we have switched to Citrix GoToAssist - which is faster.
