Every strategy here is a NinjaTrader 8 automated strategy written in C#, built on a shared framework rather than as a one-off script. The trading idea is the part that changes from one strategy to the next; the order handling, risk limits and bookkeeping around it are written once and reused, so they behave the same way everywhere.
Styles
- Trend following. Adaptive moving averages (KAMA, MAMA, DEMA), channel and level breakouts, and always-in-the-market stop-and-reverse systems that ride a move until the trend flips.
- Mean reversion. Fades of stretched prices back toward a mean — Bollinger and RSI extremes, with filters that keep them out of strongly trending sessions.
- Order flow. Cumulative delta, absorption, VWAP bands, initial-balance and value-area failures — setups read from volume at price rather than price alone.
- Scalping. Short-horizon momentum and volatility-spike entries with tight, pre-defined exits.
- Renko and custom bars. Strategies designed around custom Renko bar types, where noise filtering happens in the bars before any signal is computed.
- Session and opening-range. Opening-range breakouts, gap fills and time-of-day setups tied to the trading session.
What every strategy shares
- Risk budget. A daily loss limit and a per-trade risk cap, both measured from the account’s start-of-day balance, with position size worked out from the stop distance rather than fixed.
- Trade management. Stop loss and profit target on every entry, optional break-even moves, and targets that can scale with current volatility.
- One strategy per symbol. When several strategies run on the same account, an entry is refused while another strategy — or a manual trade — is already using the instrument, so their positions never net against each other.
- Consistent structure. Each strategy fills in the same set of steps — update indicators, check filters, look for a signal, size and enter, manage the trade — which makes any two of them easy to read side by side.

Strategies are software, not advice. Backtest results describe the past under stated assumptions and are not a forecast; trading leveraged instruments carries substantial risk of loss.
