I've just released Direction Momentum v1.0.1 which addresses a safety issue related to emergency stop order detection. This is a preventive update to ensure the strategy has time to confirm stop orders are working before triggering any emergency exits.


📋 WHAT'S FIXED IN v1.0.1:

✅ Emergency Stop Protection

The strategy now waits 2 bars after entry before checking for missing stop orders. This prevents false alarms where the emergency "no stop order" check could trigger while stop orders were still being submitted and confirmed by NinjaTrader. This ensures your positions are always properly protected without premature emergency exits.


🔄 HOW TO UPDATE:

If you're upgrading from v1.0.0:

  1. Close all charts using the Direction Momentum strategy
  2. In NinjaTrader Control Panel, go to Tools > Remove NinjaScript Assembly
  3. Find and select "Direction Momentum v1.0.0"
  4. Click Remove
  5. Completely exit and restart NinjaTrader
  6. Download the new v1.0.1 ZIP file from your customer portal at futures.aeromir.com
  7. Go to Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-on...
  8. Select the downloaded v1.0.1 file
  9. Click Import (click Yes to overwrite if prompted)
  10. Restart NinjaTrader again
  11. The strategy will now show "Direction Momentum v1.0.1" in the chart label

First time installation:

  1. Download the v1.0.1 ZIP file from your customer portal at futures.aeromir.com
  2. Open the NinjaTrader Control Panel
  3. Select Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-on...
  4. Select the downloaded strategy file
  5. Click Import (Yes to overwrite if prompted)
  6. Restart NinjaTrader
  7. Ready to use!

⚙️ DO YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR SETTINGS?

No! All your existing settings will continue to work. This is an internal safety improvement that doesn't require any configuration changes.


📊 IMPACT ON TRADING:

Since Direction Momentum uses OnBarClose calculation mode, this issue was already very unlikely to occur. However, this update adds an extra layer of protection to ensure stop orders are always properly confirmed before any emergency checks activate. Your trading should continue exactly as before, just with enhanced safety.


🤝 PROP FIRM COMPLIANCE:

The manual control buttons (Longs ON/OFF, Shorts ON/OFF) continue to work exactly as before for prop firm compliance.


💬 QUESTIONS OR ISSUES?

If you experience any problems with v1.0.1, please post here or email [email protected] with:

  • Your NinjaTrader version
  • The instrument you're trading (CL, etc.)
  • Screenshot of your strategy settings
  • Description of what's happening

This update ensures Direction Momentum has the same safety enhancements as our other strategies, providing consistent protection across all Aeromir trading systems.

Hmmm, there was a LOSING trade today in CL, but I don't see that reflected in the backtesting logs, unlike the other strategies. Wondering if we have the same problem that we had in Breakout Guardian

Gerd, I will say that it DOES show in Ninjatrader when you run there backtest, just NOT on the Aeromir website.

I suppose the only real issue is that this could affect the decision to run a strategy or not, using the SMA filter

Hi Terence, I agree with you. I'll test the SMA filter for 30 days and see what the results are. I'll follow Tom's suggestion and test the SMA 25.
