HunterFlare — Multi-Confirmation Trend Strategy for NinjaTrader 8
Automated multi-EMA trend strategy for NinjaTrader 8. Combines Profit Wave EMAs, Supertrend direction, and Money Flow confirmation across any liquid futures contract.
By HunterOverview
HunterFlare is an automated multi-confirmation trend strategy for NinjaTrader 8. It combines a Fibonacci-spaced Profit Wave EMA stack (8, 13, 21), a Supertrend-style ATR direction filter, and a Money Flow Index volume filter to qualify entries before any trade fires. The signal stack is contract-agnostic — the same logic runs on any liquid futures market.
How It Works
The strategy waits for three things to align: the Profit Wave EMAs in trend order, the ATR-based Supertrend confirming the same direction, and Money Flow above or below its threshold to confirm participation. When all three agree, HunterFlare enters in the trend direction.
A re-entry mode tracks whether a setup has already triggered in the current move and prevents duplicate entries on the same wave. The strategy maintains a session-resetting manual VWAP for additional context. Optional RSI filtering and a configurable secondary moving average filter (EMA, SMA, VWMA, HMA, or WMA) let the entry conditions be tightened or relaxed per market.
Why Multi-Confirmation
A single moving average crossover produces too many false signals in choppy conditions. HunterFlare requires multiple independent confirmations from different signal families — trend (EMA stack), volatility direction (ATR Supertrend), and flow (MFI) — before committing capital. The trade-off is fewer entries per session in exchange for higher per-trade quality.
Risk Management
Every entry uses a fixed stop loss and profit target with optional break-even, trailing, partial take-profit, and a runner. Because volatility-relative inputs (ATR, Money Flow) drive the signal, the same parameters adapt naturally across instruments with different tick sizes and daily ranges. Session windows, blackout periods, daily trade caps, P&L limits, and end-of-session force close all keep exposure bounded. Long and short directions can be toggled independently.
