TOW Validation

Validating and Setting the Indicator to a New Chart

Step 1 : Launch NinjaTrader Software / Application

Launch your NinjaTrader software / application. The first window it brings up is the Control Center.

Step 2 : Connect to Your Data Feed Provider

You will need to be successfully connected to your Data Feed provider so that your charts will populate with candles. Follow this path.

CONTROL CENTER >> FILE >> CONNECT >> (select your provider)​

Your Data Feed Provider

This is something that needs to be established when you have installed NinjaTrader's software / application. If you have not done this, please refer to the Activation Process >> Step 2.

Step 3 : Open a New Blank Chart

In the Control Center window, click on FILE >> NEW >> CHART

Step 4 : Data Series Window

The Data Series window will automatically open. You will need to select an instrument to put in the chart. You can select ANY instrument you want. Ideally, just to get the Validation and Setting done, pick: CL or ES or NQ.

Selecting an Instrument

From within the top left section of the Data Series window, click on the instrument of your choice, just once. Then down below click NEW. You will see the instrument you picked is now showing in the bottom left section of the Data Series window.​

Step 5 : Validating Your Indicator

You will need to validate your indicator in order to use it on a chart. With the DATA SERIES WINDOW still open, go to the top right section labeled: PERIOD, there you will modify the TYPE. To modify the TYPE, click on MINUTE (to the right of TYPE) to enable the drop down menu.

Selecting an Instrument

In the drop down menu scroll down to locate the indicator: TOMbars. Click on TOMbars.

Your Validation Code

For this next step you will need your The Oil Well 3 (TOW3) validation Code provided below.

IMPORTANT: If you have more than one machine ID activated, then pay close attention to which code is assigned to which machine ID.

Your Product Information

Name:
Email:

Machine ID 1:


TOW3 TOMbars Code:


Machine Type 1:

Machine ID 2:


TOW3 TOMbars Code 2:


Machine Type 2:

IMPORTANT!! Each computer must have it's machine ID activated to use our products.
If you have not been activated please do so now.

Entering Your Validation Code

You can enter the validation by copy & pasting.

Validation Code - Copying

Simply DOUBLE CLICK on the Code, to highlight. Once it is highlighted you may copy it one of two ways:

  • Right click on the hightlight to open the menu options and select COPY
  • Hotkeys: CTRL + C [to copy]; then release

Either way will copy whats highlighted.

Now to Enter the Validation Code

In the PERIOD section, look for the row labeled: BRICK SIZE. By default it is set to 5. You will enter the Code here. Remove the 5 and enter (paste) the Code - be careful to not add any blank spaces before or after the code, this will make the validation process not work correctly.

Pasting the Validation Code

You can paste the code one of 2 ways:

  • Hotkeys: CTRL + v [to paste]; then release, or
  • You can manually enter the numbers into the box
  • DO NOT TRY TO RIGHT CLICK IN THE BOX, it will not allow you to do it.

Completing the Validation Process

After you've entered the Code, on the bottom left of the DATA SERIES window is the OK button. Click OK to close the window. This will also trigger the chart to pull the data feed from your provider and populate the chart with candles.
