TRACKER: SIGNAL

Heikin Tracker: Signal combines multi-timeframe analysis with hands-on trade management in a single interface. It identifies structural shifts in the market and gives you the tools to act on them – all from your chart.

The Complete Trading Tool

This isn’t just an indicator – it’s a trading workspace. Signal detection, visual structure, position tracking, order management, and execution controls all live in one place. See the setup, take the trade, manage the position.

Signal Detection

Multi-Timeframe Analysis

The system monitors multiple timeframes simultaneously, looking for alignment. When structure shifts across timeframes, that’s your signal. The visual feedback is immediate – you see structure changes as they happen.

Adaptive Bars or Heikin Ashi

Choose your foundation: AdaptBars for dynamic volatility-adjusted structure, or Heikin Ashi for smoothed price action. Both modes provide the same signal detection logic, just with different underlying price representations.

Paint Bar Visualization

Bars color based on structural position:

• Green: Bullish structure
• Red: Bearish structure
• Yellow: Neutral or transitional

The coloring changes in real-time as structure evolves, giving you instant visual feedback on market state.

Visual Structure Lines

RTX Levels (Reversal Transition eXecution)

Dynamic support and resistance zones calculated from multi-timeframe structure. These levels adapt as market conditions change, showing you where structure is likely to hold or break.

Target Levels

Projected price objectives based on structural momentum. When structure aligns strongly, target levels indicate where the move might extend to. Useful for profit-taking decisions.

Display Modes

Choose how levels appear on your chart:

• Buy/Sell Lines: Separate levels for both directions
• Mids Only: Calculated midpoints between buy and sell levels
• Combo: Dynamically shows buy or sell levels based on price position

Visual System Progression

Watch how the system builds from basic levels to a complete multi-timeframe trading setup with position management.

Step 1: Basic TX Levels

BuyTX (green), SellTX (red), Mid (blue), and Target lines (white). Yellow bars indicate caution/transition zones. (click to enlarge)

The foundation: TX levels from 6 longer-term timeframes and 4 AdaptBar timeframes (10 total). Buy and Sell levels provide directional zones, Mid shows the calculated midpoint, and white Target lines project potential moves.

Step 2: Mid-Only Display Mode

Simplified view showing only MidTX line and target levels for cleaner chart display (click to enlarge)

For traders who prefer less visual clutter, Mid-Only mode displays just the calculated midpoint between buy/sell levels and the target projections. Same structural information, cleaner presentation.

Step 3: Combo Mode with MultiAdapt

Combo mode dynamically shows MidTX, targets, plus MultiAdapt Pro line for multi-system confirmation (click to enlarge)

Combo mode intelligently displays the relevant directional level based on price position. Here we’ve added a MultiAdapt Pro line (reading external data) for additional timeframe confirmation.

Step 4: Complete Multi-Timeframe System

Full system: MultiAdapt PRO (4 buttons at top) + Tracker Signal (TX button). 26 timeframes on one chart. (click to enlarge)

The complete analytical framework: MultiAdapt PRO monitors 16 timeframes (4 systems × 4 timeframes each), Tracker TX adds 10 timeframes (6 longer-term + 4 AdaptBars). That’s 26 different timeframes consolidated into actionable signals on a single chart. The buttons at top show real-time status of each system. File reading enabled displays all system states simultaneously – easy to follow, easy to trade.

Step 5: Adding Order Management (OMS)

Complete system + OMS: Short position entered, Auto Stop and Auto TGT enabled and working (click to enlarge)

Now we add execution: the OMS widget (TrackerV5) shows an active short position with initial stop protection and target orders placed. Auto Stop and Auto TGT features are enabled – the system will manage risk automatically as targets fill. All 26 timeframes still visible, position management integrated directly on the chart.

Step 6: First Targets Hit – BreakEven Protection

Automated risk management: Initial targets filled, stops automatically moved to breakeven – trade now risk-free (click to enlarge)

Professional trade management in action: As the first profit targets fill, the Auto Stop feature automatically moves the stop to breakeven (entry price). The trade can no longer lose money. This is how professionals protect capital – let the system handle the mechanics while you focus on market structure.

Step 7: Trailing Stops Lock In Profit

Advanced automation: More targets filled, stops trail down into profit territory, locking in gains (click to enlarge)

The final stage: Additional targets continue to fill, and the stop trails aggressively to protect accumulated profit. Position size scales down with each target hit. The trader set it up once at entry – Auto Stop and Auto TGT handled everything from there. This is the complete system: 26-timeframe analysis feeding into automated position management.

MultiAdapt Integration

External Data Reading

Heikin Tracker can read data from MultiAdapt Pro indicator running on separate charts. This lets you combine multiple analysis systems – different timeframes, different instruments, different calculation methods – all feeding into one decision framework.

Confirmation Logic

When Heikin Tracker’s internal signal aligns with external data from MultiAdapt, you have multi-system confirmation. Use this for higher-confidence setups or to filter out weaker signals.

File-Based Communication

The systems communicate via file read/write – lightweight, reliable, and doesn’t impact chart performance. Set up once, works continuously.

Position Management Panel

Live Position Tracking

The on-chart panel shows your current position in real-time: direction (Long/Short/Flat), quantity, and average entry price. You know exactly where you stand at a glance.

Quick Action Buttons

One-click order placement directly from the chart:

• BUY/SELL: Enter positions at market
• Flatten: Close entire position instantly
• Reverse: Close and flip direction in one action
• Stop/Target Controls: Place and adjust protective orders

Order Quantity Management

Set your position size directly in the panel. Adjust on the fly without digging through menus. The system remembers your last setting for consistent sizing.

Hotkey System

Keyboard Control

Every panel function has a configurable hotkey. Trade without touching the mouse. Speed matters when structure is shifting.

Common Hotkey Setup Examples

• B: Buy Market
• S: Sell Market
• F: Flatten Position
• R: Reverse Position
• Q/W: Adjust Stop Levels

You define what works for your muscle memory and trading style.

Speed Display

The system includes a Speed Display that shows the current speed of the market. Compare this with the Execution Timeframe to ensure orders hit the market quickly. When market speed is too fast relative to execution timeframe, you’ll see this in the display – helping you avoid entries when order slippage risk is high. This is critical for maintaining consistent execution quality, especially in volatile conditions.

SuperDOM Output

Send Levels to DOM

Enable data output to send your structural levels to a SuperDOM column. This gives you level visualization directly in the order ladder, making it easier to place orders at structural prices.

Real-Time Sync

As levels update on your chart, they update in the DOM. File-based communication keeps everything synchronized with minimal performance impact.

Configuration Approach

Start Simple

Default settings work for most traders. Enable paint bars, position panel, and one set of target levels. Trade with that setup before adding complexity.

Layer Gradually

Once comfortable with basic operation:

• Add MultiAdapt data reading for multi-system confirmation
• Enable hotkeys for your most-used actions
• Experiment with different paint bar modes
• Adjust multiplier settings for timeframe separation

Customize Your Workspace

Position the control panel where it makes sense for your screen layout. Hide elements you don’t use. Set up hotkeys that match your muscle memory from other platforms.

What This Tool Is (and Isn’t)

It Is:

• A visual representation of market structure
• A position management interface
• An order execution tool with hotkey control
• A framework for combining multiple analysis systems

It Isn’t:

• A fully automated trading system
• A guaranteed profit generator
• A replacement for trading skill and judgment
• Magic – you still need to understand markets

TRACKER: EXECUTE (TrackerV5 OMS)

TrackerV5 is a professional-grade Order Management System (OMS) widget designed for active traders who need precise control over their positions. Built directly into NinjaTrader charts, it provides instant access to advanced order management tools without cluttering your trading interface.

TrackerV5 in Action: Live Trade Example

Watch how TrackerV5 manages a real trade from entry to exit. This sequence demonstrates automated stop management, profit-taking, and position scaling in a live market environment.

Step 1: Initial Entry and Stop Placement

Trade initiated with position entry and initial stop loss placement (click to enlarge)

The trade begins with position entry and initial stop protection. Notice the widget shows active position size and stop orders working. The system is monitoring for the first profit target to be hit.

Step 2: First Target Hit – Automatic BreakEven

After initial target is hit, stops automatically move to breakeven – risk eliminated (click to enlarge)

Key Moment: Once the first profit target fills, TrackerV5’s Auto Stop feature automatically moves the stop to breakeven (entry price). The trade is now risk-free. This is professional-grade risk management executing without manual intervention.

Step 3: Continued Targets – Trailing Stop Activation

As additional targets are hit, stop trails down to lock in profits (click to enlarge)

As more profit targets fill, the stop continues to trail. Notice how the stop has moved down (for this short position) to lock in gains. The system is protecting accumulated profits while letting the winner run. Position size decreases as each target fills.

Step 4: Final Contract – Maximum Profit Protection

Down to 1 contract remaining with stop protecting substantial profit (click to enlarge)

The final stage: only 1 contract remains. The stop has trailed aggressively to protect the significant profit already captured. The widget shows “Position: Short 1” with the stop firmly in profit territory. This is how professional traders scale out of positions – taking profit along the way while giving the final piece room to capture extended moves.

The Professional Advantage

This type of trade management separates professional traders from amateurs:

• Amateurs: Hold full position hoping for best case, get stopped out on reversal, give back all gains
• Professionals: Scale out systematically, move to breakeven early, trail stops, protect profits, let final piece run

TrackerV5 automates the professional approach. You don’t need to watch every tick, manually adjust every stop, or make emotional decisions about when to take profit. Set your parameters, enable Auto Stop and Auto TGT, and let the system execute your strategy with discipline.

Core Features

One-Click Blast Orders

Send multiple orders to the market simultaneously. Instead of clicking through order entry windows, a single button can:

• Enter position at market price
• Place protective stop orders
• Set multiple profit targets
• Configure all parameters in advance

Everything fires with one click. This is critical for fast-moving markets where delay means worse fills.

Automated Stop Management (Auto Stop)

Once enabled, the system monitors your position and adjusts stops automatically based on profit targets hit:

• Initial Protection: Places stop at your defined risk level
• BreakEven Move: After first target fills, moves stop to entry price (no-risk position)
• Trailing Action: As additional targets fill, trails stop to lock in accumulated profit
• Scaling Logic: Adjusts stop placement based on remaining position size

Automated Target Management (Auto TGT)

Companion feature to Auto Stop – places and manages profit targets:

• Multiple target levels based on your strategy
• Automatic contract distribution across targets
• Target cancellation as they fill (no orphaned orders)
• Synchronized with stop management

Order Stacking & Distribution

The new TGT: Stack X button revolutionizes exit management:

• Creates ladder of limit orders at configurable intervals
• Distributes contracts evenly across price levels
• Lets you scale out systematically as price moves in your favor
• One click to deploy entire exit strategy

Example: 10 contracts, Stack 5 targets = 2 contracts per target level, spaced at your defined interval.

Widget Interface

Position Display Section

Always visible at the top of the widget:

• Direction: Long, Short, or Flat
• Quantity: Current position size
• Average Price: Your entry price (important for P&L calculation)

Entry Buttons (Top Row)

Stop Management Section

Target Management Section

Quantity & Settings Section

Configure your order sizes, intervals, and behavior preferences. The widget remembers your settings across sessions.

Advanced Features

50/50 Position Split

Specialized buttons for traders who like to manage half their position differently:

• Place stops on 50% of position while leaving other half unprotected
• Take profit on half while letting remainder run
• Different risk/reward approach on each half

Hotkey Integration

Every button has a configurable hotkey. Trade without touching the widget. Keyboard-only workflows for maximum speed.

Visual Feedback

Buttons change color based on state:

• Green: Function active (Auto Stop enabled, orders working)
• Gray: Function inactive
• Red/Orange: Destructive actions (Flatten, Reverse)

Sound Alerts

Configurable audio notifications for:

• Order fills
• Stop adjustments
• Target hits
• Position changes

Workflow Examples

Basic Market Entry with Protection

Scenario: You see a setup, want to enter 5 contracts long with 10-tick stop and 20-tick target.

1. Set quantity to 5
2. Click BUY (position entered at market)
3. Click STP: -10 (stop placed 10 ticks below entry)
