Trading Psychology

You Must Know How To Think Like A Professional Trader.


Learning to trade at a high level goes beyond simply making money. It involves understanding which Nexgen indicator patterns can be executed confidently, which comes through trading both winning and losing trades.

Embrace the learning process and do not fear losses, as long as you share your trade outcomes in class to promote growth and prevent repeating mistakes. Keep your focus on consistency and achieving successful results through your efforts.

Nexgen emphasizes that new traders should complete their education using the simulator and market replay. Many traders make the mistake of testing their trading rules and emotional control skills too early with real money. Without a winning mindset, trading with an incomplete or poorly developed plan often leads to avoidable losses and frustration. Nexgen provides all the necessary tools to avoid these pitfalls. Everyone can win, but thinking and acting like a winner requires a conscious choice. Nexgen's technical patterns provide a statistical advantage, and your mindset and execution of those advantages will determine your success. John Novak, CEO and developer of Nexgen Fibonacci software, had valuable discussions with trading coach Mark Douglas, who focused on the psychology of traders in the early 2000s. The time spent with Mark Douglas greatly influenced Nexgen's study ideas. To understand Mark Douglas' methods, read his book "Trading in the Zone." Mark Douglas suggested tracking the performance of your trading rules based on a sample size of 20-25 trades. By focusing on high-probability trend trades after a Fibonacci-based solid top or bottom, you can master Nexgen's trading concepts with each sample size of trades. Active participation in class and educator feedback will help you avoid mistakes and enhance your learning. John Novak believes that a deep understanding of your technical analysis advantages and consistently executing the correct trades will positively influence your trading psychology. If you ever find yourself trading with fear, anger, frustration, or seeking revenge, it is crucial to stop trading and refocus on the highest probability trades and your management rules. There is no shame in returning to the simulator to rebuild confidence in your trading plan when necessary. Search for Mark Douglas training videos on YouTube, it will not be time wasted.

Market Conditions & Special Cases

  • Termination Area/Condition: A chart condition indicating a high probability of trend reversal.

  • Limit Order – Entry: Placing an order at a specific price before the market reaches it.

  • Gap – Big Gap – Gap to Synthetics: The market is at support/resistance while synthetic triggers are far away.

Adding or Changing Synthetic Triggers and Fibonacci Lines

this section will teach you the settings to turn on or off extra indicators

You may manually adjust Fibonacci levels in your software.

You can also control the reversal bar markers and synthetic mid bands from other timeframes in the T3 Fibs ProTrader Synth indicator.

To generate a T3 Trigger Line indicator from a different chart, you have two options:

Option 1: Plotting an Additional T3 Trigger Line Indicator- this option does not require Tick Replay to be enabled on the chart.

  • Add another T3 Trigger Line indicator to your chart.

  • Choose the "Use Different Time Frame" option and specify a specific bar size.

  • Select the checkboxes to display either the large or small triggers.

Option 2: Utilizing the T3 Trigger Line (Syn) Synthetic Indicator. This option DOES require tick replay to be enabled on your chart.

  • Use the T3 Trigger Line (Syn) Synthetic indicator.

  • Plot up to three individual trigger lines with various timeframe settings.

The following picture will teach you to add a reversal bar marker from another time frame chart using Ninja 7. Both platforms behave similarly.

The following picture will teach you how to add a 3rd trigger line from another time frame chart.

Chart Templates- Applying Nexgen Templates

this page walks you through applying Nexgen's premade templates to your existing chart

Sometimes, you may accidentally delete an indicator on a chart while trading. This happens when you click that little red x at the top right of your charts after a warning message. Or you have a chart built but wish to add synthetic Fibonacci levels to the chart.

First, we will build a 5-1 ES "no tick replay" no synthetic Fibonacci areas chart by applying the template when building a chart. See building chart directions-

The following chart using the above settings will look like this.

To add synthetic Fibs and enable tick replay, right-click on your chart, format data series, and enable the tick replay check box.

Ninja 8 will reload tick replay data for the existing chart. You will see this message.

When data loading is complete, and indicators repopulate, right-click the chart in a blank space, select templates, select load, select the template to load, and finally click LOAD to finish.

You will end up now with a chart with Synthetic Fibonacci levels from other timeframe charts that are superimposed on the one chart.

The following is a list of Nexgen templates that require "TICK RELAY" to be enabled to plot synthetic Fibonacci areas or triggers. If you load a GENERIC or NON-REPLAY template, it will still work; you just will not get all of the information without tick replay enabled in the data section.

Add Symbols- Roll Contracts - Market Analyzer

Making sure you are on the "front month with most volume is required when trading futures.

Ninja Trader's upcoming events calendar will tell you when a particular futures market will roll over. Please check the dates for the contracts you trade and double-check that the trading volume is higher in the month you will trade.


Batch Rollover

The NinjaTrader Desktop platform allows batch rollover of the contract expiry of all instrument lists and windows on all open workspaces. To perform this batch rollover, please see the steps below:

Select Tools > Database Management from the Control Center window of NinjaTrader Desktop:

The grid under Rollover Futures Instruments will show each instrument that is eligible for rollover. A contract becomes eligible to be rolled over when today's date is greater than or equal to the rollover date defined for the instrument's next contract month:

Clicking Rollover will update each instrument with a checkmark next to it to the next contract month.

Please note:

  • Rolling over futures instruments will update the expiry of the instruments across all instrument lists and windows using the instruments on all open workspaces. These changes in workspaces will need to be saved, should you wish to preserve them. If there are areas on NinjaTrader Desktop where you wish to still use the old expiry, please be sure to switch them back to the old expiry or do not roll over at this time.

  • NinjaScript strategies are not rolled forward and must be manually rolled over.

"I can't see the new contract month on my Chart"

If you are trying to load a Chart in NinjaTrader Desktop and are not seeing the next contract month, you can simply type in the symbol for the next month and it will load the data series and populate the drop-down menu in your chart with the new month.

Manually rolling over the contract is done by typing in the next contract expiry in the window's instrument selector and hitting the Enter key. For example: ES 09-24 to ES 12-24.


To check the volume, you must build a market analyzer from within Ninja Trader. Select FILE> NEW > MARKET ANALYZER from the Ninja Trader Control Center. Then you will want to right-click on it and apply the Nexgen "default template". Add the current future month and the next expiration month.

The process is the same for Ninja 8 as well as Ninja 7. There is one difference, the future contract will not be readily available in your list of markets. To populate the "next" contract you will have to build a new chart manually, typing in the date of the next contract.

Build a blank new chart.

You can delete that chart, and when you right click on the market analyzer, the new contract will be available to add to your list.

Once you have created the window, you will right-click on the instrument column and add in the contracts you wish to track.

To add a new month or symbol in Ninja 7 - Select TOOLS INSTRUMENT MANAGER from the control panel.,

You will then use the NAME section to type the symbol, CLICK SEARCH, then HIGHLIGHT it and move it to the active list on the left.

Once the symbol is in your list, to "roll" your contract months, simply use the drop-down menu on your existing workspace charts and select the new month.

Increasing /Decreasing Trigger Line Size /changing colors

inputs for trigger line size and color

You may personalize the trigger lines to your liking. To do this, right-click on your chart, format indicators, and adjust the trigger line size, up down colors, as well as shadow size. The shadow plots the black lines behind the trigger lines to give them extra contrast.

Ninja Trader 8 Best Practices

Ninja Trader 8 daily clean out is recommended but not required.

NINJA 8 works with Windows 10 or 11 using 16-32 GB RAM. Nexgen recommends upgrading to at least 32 GB but prefers 64 GB RAM. NOTE: anything over 64 GB is overkill.

Ensure you enable tick replay for "synthetic Fibonacci levels" and for T3 Market Flow to plot.

Watch this short video or follow the written instructions below to clean NT8 data and prepare for the trading day. We have found that cleaning out data is best done once per week unless you have a specific need for doing so.

(ONCE PER WEEK) To delete cached tick data- BROWSE TO DOCUMENTS> NINJATRADER 8> DB folder or \Documents\NinjaTrader 8\db. Deletion of DB Tick Files: In addition to the tick and cached data removal, it is imperative to delete the DB tick files. These files store historical tick data and can accumulate over time, potentially leading to increased memory usage and performance degradation. Removing these files regularly ensures a clean and optimized database for the Ninja 8 platform.

(ONCE PER WEEK) Clearing Temporary Data: Clearing temporary data is essential to maintain a streamlined workspace. By removing temporary files generated during platform usage, any redundant or unnecessary data is eliminated. This process enhances system performance and prevents conflicts or errors arising from an overloaded temporary data cache. Browse to Documents\NinjaTrader 8\tmp and remove the files.

From the control center, click TOOLS>OPTIONS> GENERAL and check true the box for "confirm on window or tab close." This will prevent you from accidentally deleting charts or windows and stabilize your Ninja Trader 8 from drag-and-drop issues.

From the control center, click TOOLS>OPTIONS> MARKET DATA and ensure your futures data is set to "DO NOT MERGE".

When operating the Ninja 8 platform, it is crucial to refrain from utilizing Microsoft's OneDrive due to potential adverse consequences. OneDrive's functionality of saving data to a cloud server can lead to delayed updates and, ultimately, system crashes. In light of this, Nexgen strongly advises users to remove OneDrive entirely from their machines as a precautionary measure.

For users equipped with a capable video card, optimizing graphics settings for high performance using the provided image as a reference is advised. To accomplish this, follow the instructions below:

  1. Open the search bar and enter "GRAPHICS."

  2. Right-click on the NINJA 8 icon and select "Properties."

  3. Copy the path specified in the properties menu.

  4. Navigate to the settings section related to graphics and paste the copied path.

  5. Enable the high-performance option instead of relying on Windows to determine the settings.

  6. By implementing these adjustments, your GPU will be better utilized to render NINJA 8 graphics efficiently.

By adhering to these instructions, users can enhance their graphics' performance and maximize their video cards' capabilities while utilizing the NINJA 8 platform.

To ensure optimal performance, it is crucial to consistently operate your computer on a high-power plan that maximizes CPU utilization throughout the day. It is worth noting that certain laptops may default to a power-saver mode, which can adversely affect the stability of Ninja 8. To address this issue, follow the instructions provided below:

  1. Access the search bar and input "EDIT POWER" as the search query.

  2. From the search results, select the option labeled "Edit power plan."

  3. This action will open the power plan settings, enabling you to modify and customize the power plan to your requirements.

  4. Ensure you select a high-performance power plan that prioritizes CPU usage rather than a power-saving mode.

You may use any higher power plan your computer system offers from here.

To access and modify the advanced power settings necessary to optimize your computer's behavior, follow the steps outlined below:

  1. Initiate a search by entering "EDIT POWER PLAN" into the search bar.

  2. Click "Change advanced power settings" from the search results within the power plan window.

  3. This action will open a window where you can customize the advanced power settings.

  4. It is crucial to ensure that your computer and hard drives are configured never to idle, hibernate, or turn off.

  5. Take note that the option to access the advanced power settings is available only through the "power plan" page and not the "battery-savings" page if you use a laptop.

  6. The example provided illustrates how the advanced power settings screen should appear.

Following these steps, you can access the advanced power settings and make the necessary adjustments to prevent idling, hibernation, or power-off events for your computer and hard drives.

It is highly recommended to synchronize the time on your Windows operating system regularly. You can mitigate the risk of time discrepancies by performing this synchronization frequently, preferably daily. Windows tends to lose or gain time, which can impact the accuracy of data feeds, including Ninja Trader 8's precise data feed that operates at a hundredth of a second level.

To synchronize your Windows time, follow the steps provided below:

  1. Access the search bar and enter "clock" or "time" as the search query.

  2. From the search results, locate and select the option to "Sync Windows Time" or a similar reference.

  3. This action will synchronize your computer's clock with a reliable time source.

By adhering to this practice and ensuring regular time synchronization, you can maintain the accuracy of your system clock, which is crucial for precise data feeds in platforms like Ninja 8. T

If you have a live account with Ninja Trader and you wish to trade APEX or some other services, it is recommended that you clean NT8 up. Then connect to ONE OF THE TWO DATA FEEDS. Let your charts populate and then connect to your second source of data.

When you get an order that is "STUCK PENDING" on Ninja 8 in orange. You will see a PENDING ORDER that you cannot get rid of, log out of Ninja Trader 8 and go through the clean-up process for data and also clean out LOG and TRACE FILES. GO TO TOOLS DATABASE MANAGEMENT AND RESET IT.

When using Ninja 7, if you do, you only have to delete the data files.

When utilizing Ninja Trader 7, it is strongly advised to double-check the merge policy for your data to ensure accurate historical prices. Specifically, the merge policy should be set to "DO NOT MERGE." Failure to adhere to this recommendation may result in the platform stitching together past contract prices and making adjustments that deviate from the actual price movements.

These adjustments can introduce discrepancies in the historical prices displayed on the charts, complicating the analysis of Fibonacci levels. To rectify this issue, if you need to change your merge policy, you must re-clean your data to remove the historical data affected by these price offsets.

To illustrate this matter visually, refer to the accompanying picture.

See deleting old charts and templates if you want to start over in a clean environment when using Ninja Trader.

Daily computer cleanout- not required but we like it!

This routine is followed daily by John Novak, the CEO, to ensure he has a clean computer for the upcoming trading session. Using will clean the computer, and unused RAM will be released. The computer is also set to run at maximum performance.

From the main dashboard, click "Re-analyze."

Then click repair all and turn off all start-up programs that may slow your computer.
