Mastering Roadmap Signals for Successful Trading
Navigating the trading world requires effective tools and strategies. Today, we’ll explore roadmap signals on two popular charting platforms: TradingView and NinjaTrader. By comparing these platforms, you can decide which one suits your trading style best.
Platform Overview
On the left, we have TradingView charts, and on the right, NinjaTrader charts. Both platforms are favored by traders worldwide, and understanding their signals is key to making informed trading decisions.
Roadmap Signals Explained
TradingView Chart Roadmap Signals
The principles for interpreting roadmap signals remain consistent across both platforms, as discussed in our live trading room sessions. The roadmap zone indicates potential market movements, presenting two possible scenarios:
- Reversal: If price candles land in the roadmap zone and then reverse, a signal is generated. This applies to various time frames, whether it’s a 1-minute, 5-minute, or 30-second chart.
- Continuation: If the price continues through the roadmap zone, a different signal appears.
For instance, if the price bounces off the roadmap zone and reverses, we set a target using one times the Average True Range (ATR). On the TradingView chart, a purple line indicates the entry point if the price continues through the zone. This target calculation is customizable, allowing users to adjust styles, colors, and alerts.
NinjaTrader Chart Roadmap Signals
NinjaTrader charts operate on similar principles. The roadmap zone highlights potential reversals or trend continuations. Despite minor data feed differences, the signals on NinjaTrader closely align with those on TradingView.
For example, if the market hits the roadmap zone and reverses, a signal is generated, similar to TradingView. In sideways markets, it’s advisable not to hold trades for too long. A 10-15 minute window is recommended for exit decisions in such scenarios.
Comparing Signals
Both platforms provide consistent signals, but entering trades closer to the roadmap zone increases accuracy. Avoid chasing trades if you miss the initial entry point; it’s better to wait for the next signal.
On TradingView, when the price breaks through the roadmap zone, a yellow candle signals a potential short trade. The same logic applies to NinjaTrader, where a line shows the entry point for short trades.
