Channel Trend Chart Description

.

Available only on the Ninja Trader platform, Although this chart type was built specifically for both automated trading, and discretionary trading.

.

What makes this chart type so interesting is that the data stream price data, is processed prior to being plotted on the price chart.

Through this processing technique,

Virtually all “undesirable” price movement is masked  and does not display on the price chart.

This is very helpful for automated trading where the less variables to manage, the better.

.

Now, for the bars themselves, … there are two kinds of bars on this chart type, Trend bars and Reversal bars.

There are also two effective channels plotted with the bars on the chart, an up channel, and a down channel.

These price channels are fully dynamic and self adjust with each new bar.

By setting, the, “value” variable, in the chart type series window, you select the channel width.

To utilize this chart type effectively, you need to have a sense as to whether the market is trending or in a trading range.

Once you determine that, simply activate an appropriate automated strategy.

Because the chart is so clean, using indicators is optional.

(There are a number of indicators out there that actually need noise to function properly. These indicators are not compatable with this chart type.)

I have found that building strategies from the bars series themselves instead of from indicators, allows me to buy and sell multiple times in the same bar.

If you are using a strategy that needs a new bar open to execute, the trend bars on this chart type allow the earliest entry possible.

I hope you will consider this chart type, for your automated trading or discretionary trading systems.
