NinjaTrader 8 Research Tools

Research. Adapt. Validate.

Research tools for people who trust methodology over marketing hype. Curated and created by a retired academic data scientist.

The Z-Suite — a modular constellation

The Z-Suite is a modular constellation of NT8 research tools — a Bayesian regime scorer, a multi-regime research strategy, a trade copier, and an account observer. Four independent products. Any one stands alone; any combination multiplies value. There is no required progression — you assemble what fits your research workflow. No performance promises. Every result we publish comes with its receipts.

This is a constellation, not a ladder. You can start with any product below — the others are natural additions, not prerequisites.
Market Awareness

ZIdentifier

NT8 chart indicator

A Bayesian setting scorer, not a classifier. Reads a 15-session lookback on an affiliated pair and emits a posterior probability over the strategy's settings — a probabilistic starting bias, not a verdict. When the evidence can't distinguish between two settings, it says so.

Execution

ZCopier

Trade copier, v1.1.6

Copies orders from a master NT8 account to up to 6 follower accounts, across different instruments and brokers, and across live, sim or eval accounts. Catastrophe stops, reconnect watchdog, and stale-fire guards are built in.

Account Record

ZAccountant

Live account panel + daily log

A pure observer: shows live P&L, trade count, win rate, and drawdown on the chart, and can write a daily record to CSV. Places no orders, runs no strategy, reads no strategy state.

Core Trading Strategy

ZStrategy

Shipping instance: ZStrategyNQ

An instrument-agnostic trading engine for CME products, delivered as per-instrument calibrated instances. Today's shipping instance, ZStrategyNQ, trades NQ paired with ES. Ships pre-calibrated and locked by default. Currently in out-of-sample validation — see the Research page for the live status.

Natural combinations

  • ZIdentifier + ZStrategyNQ — read the probabilistic starting bias, then trade it.
  • ZStrategyNQ + ZCopier — run an NQ master, copy to MNQ/MES followers simultaneously.
  • ZIdentifier + ZCopier — assess bias across affiliated assets, transmit your trading signals to parallel accounts.
  • ZCopier + ZAccountant — watch the master and every follower's actual numbers side by side, not just the copied orders.
  • All four — the complete Z-Suite launch lineup.

Why credible evidence, not claims

Most vendors in this space assert performance. We publish the artifacts that let you check it yourself — before you take our word for anything.

Pre-registered criteria

Our out-of-sample validation criteria are set before the data exists — published in advance, not fitted after the fact.

Multi-run variance envelopes

Results are shown across multiple repeated test runs, not a single cherry-picked pass.

Honest ambiguity

ZIdentifier says "AMBIGUOUS" when the evidence can't distinguish between two possible settings, instead of forcing a confident call.

Disclosed either way

Out-of-sample results are published whether they pass or fail. A published miss is still evidence.

Calibration-window results are periods the strategy was tuned on — strong results there are expected and are evidence of fit, not predictive skill. The out-of-sample windows are the real test. All figures are historical simulation results only and do not predict future performance. Full methodology and proof artifacts →
