Market Indicator

The NNFX Algo Tester includes in the software an Market indicator, which can be used as an integral part of your algorithm. This indicator can be used to incorporate data from another instrument, different from the one you are trading, and apply that data to your trading strategy.
It is possible to use more than 10 thousand different instruments using the CUSTOM MARKET SYMBOL option. But the software includes 10 preconfigured options so you can easily download and use symbol data such as EVZ, VIX, the USD Index or S&P500, among others (see below).

If you prefer to use an indicator in this slot as an additional Volume or C2, you can do so using one of the Custom Indicators options.
The signal is created by the price of the instrument together with an SMA to indicate whether the indicator is in the trade zone (trades allowed) or in the no-trade zone (trades not allowed).

To use the CUSTOM MARKET SYMBOL you must go to the Yahoo Finance website and download the data for the instrument you wish to use. For the remaining options you can download the data directly from your Login Panel (Resources tab). You can also select automatic data updates. 

Note: The CUSTOM MARKET SYMBOL, VIX, USDX, BTC, GSCI, GOLD, OIL, SP500, EU100 and JP225 options are only available for Ultimate Users. The EVZ option (CBOE Euro currency volatility) is available to all NNFX Algo Tester users.
