NINJATRADER DEBUGGING with visual studio express edition

Visual Studio Express edition is free but It is not possible to attach to a process in Visual Studio Express edition. But there is a way to debug your ninjatrader scripts with express edition.

thx to this post: http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/vb/showthread.php?t=15671 and http://stewartr.blogspot.com/2006/09...al-studio.html

STEPS

Open Visual Studio.

Create new console application project  e.g. NinjaTraderDebug.

Save the project and close visual studio.

Go to the project directory and open with notepad the NinjaTraderDebug.csproj.user file.

Edit it to look like this (the bold lines is what I added, of course you need to put your path to NinjaTrader.exe).
<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<PropertyGroup>
<StartAction>Program</StartAction>
<StartProgram>C:\Programme\NinjaTrader 6.5\bin\NinjaTrader.exe</StartProgram>
</PropertyGroup>
</Project>

Close NinjaTrader if it is opened.

Open the ninjatraderDebug project in VisualStudio.

Hit "Play" (F5), this will launch NinjaTrader and will attach to it.

Now do sections 1 and 3 from here: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...l?VisualStudio

Four dimensions of technical analysis.

 

Source: The Three Skills of top trading, p.59

A technical analyst can groups his analysis in four dimensions as

- price studies

- volume studies(on balance volume)

- time studies (cycles etc.. )

- sentiment/breadth studies (52 weeks nhnl index, upside volume downside volume, advances declines etc..).

those four groups will add different dimensions to your analysis. Do not only simply select a dozen of indicators in one group. Simple is better select one indicator in each group. so that you can track different dimensions of the market.

Stock analysis (hei)

about libor rates

Gold is rising rising gold is a good sing. Gold leads the market by many months. Stock markets is building a bottom. This is conforming what gold libor and bonds are saying.

Market is deeply oversold.

News are lagging indicators do not watch the news!!

If you already hold stocks since 1 year do not sell your stocks. You will be selling them at the bottom!

RSI Index versus macd lines

RSI index and MAD FAst line is highly correlated. Therefore, it do not add any value to use both at the same time! Simple methods work better!.
