Hi James,

Maybe I could help, but I would need to understand this better:

× algorithm itself × do you want to have it in c++? Proprietary app?

I would prefer this in Ninjatrader script (C# base) and as a dll so it would remain proprietary.

I, also, wish to protect it so that it can be marketed after finalization.

I am a heart patient and would like to build a revenue stream for my wife, should I pass.

A proprietary app seems like a lot of work and would have to accommodate various data feeds and brokerage interfaces

This is already built in for Ninjatrader, and with Ninjatrader 8 being released soon (still beta) and the C# scripting ... can even be debugged in Visual Studio, it would allow for algorithm implementation without all the other features - so the development time should be much shorter.

Basically the algorithm is

Checking for squeeze ( coincident swing hi/lo of two separate indicators ) which will provide long or short permission switch. A threshold of (within n bars offset for the squeeze coincidence is desirable)

After the squeeze, then the entries and exits are crossovers, slopes and comparisons of the 2 indicator components.

In addition, Ninjatrader already has a market analyzer for which columns could be developed to show setup, unconfirmed and confirmed entries and exits, and it scans an instrument list that user adds.

James, although I am sure everyone appreciates your hustle, I'm not sure if this is the right forum to be looking for a Ninjatrader developer. Considering this forum is for Quantopian - a competing platform - it would seem to be very unloyal for someone to build/promote on a competitor's platform.

I think you should take this discussion elsewhere unless you wish to build on the Q platform.

@ James,

I would be happy to discuss building your strategy for the Quantopian platform if you are interested? My email is on my profile page.
