Quantum Tick Speedometer for NinjaTrader (7/8)

An introduction to the Tickspeedometer indicator for Ninjatrader

Whether you’re currently trading using tick charts, or perhaps considering them as an alternative to time based charts, here are three questions that I guarantee you will ask yourself now, or at some point in the future. How do I convert my time based chart to a tick based chart? How do I know what tick speed to use for a particular instrument? If I only use one tick speed, how do I know if this has changed during the session?

The Quantum TickSpeedometer answers all these questions and more, putting the power of tick chart trading at your fingertips. You will be amazed and shocked at the variation in tick speeds from one market and instrument to another, which is why it is so powerful. As an example, the average tick speed for gold on a 5 minute chart might be a few hundred ticks, on the ES E-mini, this could be a few thousand.

The Tickspeedometer is precisely that – your speedometer on the market, allowing you to match risk to the market conditions and take advantage accordingly.

Here we show you using eight different markets, all set to the same timeframe, the huge differences between one market and another, often ranging in thousands of ticks for the same timeframe.

To succeed in these markets it’s essential to match the correct tick chart to the market, and this is once again where the tick speedometer steps in, automatically displaying the correct tick speed for each market and instrument.
