Description
Most pullback strategies enter too early — on the first moving average cross — or too late, when price is already extended. TickEdge waits for the exact moment: it detects the macro trend when EMA(20) crosses EMA(26) with a confirmed minimum gap of 16 ticks (flat/indecisive crosses are filtered out). Then it counts candles against the trend bar by bar and only fires when two consecutive candles appear in the trend direction — double confirmation eliminates single-bar false bounces. The stop is not a fixed ATR distance: it anchors to the pullback's real extreme with a 2.5× ATR cap. Take profit targets the next daily pivot (PP/R1/R2 for longs, PP/S1/S2 for shorts). An optional trailing stop follows price from the moment the trade turns profitable. Compatible with 2-minute and 15-minute NQ charts — the trader chooses the timeframe they prefer.
Why TickEdge?
Everything included
- Macro trend via EMA(20)/EMA(26) crossover with confirmed minimum separation (16 ticks default)
- Bar-by-bar pullback candle counting — more sensitive than waiting for a moving average cross
- Double confirmation: 2 consecutive candles in trend direction before executing
- Structural stop loss anchored to the pullback's real extreme + 4-tick buffer
- Maximum stop cap: 2.5× ATR (prevents oversized stops on deep pullbacks)
- Take profit at the next daily pivot PP/R1/R2 (longs) or PP/S1/S2 (shorts)
- Optional trailing stop: activates at 1× ATR profit, follows at 1.2× ATR distance
- ADX filter 22–45 backtest-validated — the 40–50 range was the only negative on average
- Overextension filter: avoids buying near 20-bar highs or selling near 20-bar lows
- Session hour filter: only trades historically profitable hours (0,1,2,7,10,11,12,17,18,20,22,23)
- 5-bar cooldown after closing a trade — avoids re-entering on the same noise
- SL/TP as one-time orders — draggable in chart and DOM without strategy interference
- Real-time stats AddOn panel: cumulative P&L, win rate, long/short breakdown
- Visual chart markers: macro cross (green arrow), candidates (orange), real entries (blue)
- 25+ parameters configurable from NinjaTrader — no coding required
- Annual license via NinjaTrader · direct support from the author
