UPDATE 04/20/21:
I've received version 1.4.0 and have also updated Ninja to their new 8.0.24.2. I would recommend updating NT first then updating the ATR Trader (a close/relaunch of NT will be required). UPDATE 03/23/21:
I'm assigning settings test assignments to all beta tester. If there is a setting you’d like to test or would like to understand better this would be your opportunity to learn more about it. Otherwise, I can will assign some testing homework.
I encourage you to share a template that you feel works well. Lloyd has done that and has a template floating around but unsure how recent it is as I know he’s changed it a little. Maybe we’ll have a contest, lol.
Once we have a template that is working well, we can start collecting a detailed SIM dataset for comparison with Ninja’s Strategy Analyzer. We will then evaluate during our group Social Hour.
The settings “Label” is used for this purpose. When data is exported to the Excel spreadsheet the format must be “Chart Number” (everybody starts with chart 200), (period) “Market”, (period) “Your Email”.
This creates a unique code specific to the individual chart and market specs along with the user of the data.
Examples: 200.MGC.Info@TREMPER.com, 201.MYM.Info@TREMPER.com, 202.MES.Info@TREMPER.com
It goes without saying you will need to record the data settings used with that chart. I save the template using my unique identifier as the index representing the data. This is what you’re familiar with when I refer to the spreadsheet Index.
However, before collection data, we need to be sure all the settings are working correctly. Below is an Assignment List of items that are or need testing. If you find an issue or have a question regarding a particular settings, please reach out to the Beta Tester assigned to that setting for questions or issues you find. (Sorry, but I just need to delegate tasks because I'm getting too bogged down with individual issues.)
UPDATE 03/23/21:
I've moved a bunch of settings with the 5/1 CL template. I’ve spent a lot of time in Market Playback looking at the patterns and now I’m concentrating on CL only since it's behaving the best. I am forced to accept that each market will need its own template with minor tweaks based on that market's behavior and movement (templates to follow).
I’m still waiting on some trade management settings before this will be fine tuned in order to filter out only the best trades. In the meantime, it will still need discretionary trade management using the Barrier Bars or paused at areas it should not take.
Until it’s truly automatic and no discretionary input, I am not going to capture trade data for the spreadsheet because the lack of uniformity. Once we have more trade management and it becomes less dependent on manual manipulation, we can start collecting true data. I will advise as information becomes available to me.
