Viper Sniper

NinjaTrader 8

Support or Resistance Indicator

Viper Sniper

  • Purpose: Displays the current aggressive and normal support and resistance levels.
  • Description:
    • There are many “Hidden Pivots” in the market, and I refer to them as “Squeeze Pivots”.
    • The Viper Sniper template is a tool that locates them with precision using the Emini wizard System guidelines.
    • For longs, they are considered as “Support Until Broken”. (More than a point or two in ES.) 
    • For shorts, they are considered as “Resistance Until Broken”. (More than a point or two in ES.)
  • NinjaTrader Use:
    • An easy way to plot them is with a labelled horizontal line.
    • Using the Native NinjaTrader Swing Indicator is also very effective for this purpose.
    • Displayed as a series of labelled lines, step by step.
    • Multiple key inflection points should be located and plotted.
    • One by one, these are evaluated for timing and context on retest/ failure? tests.
    • Gaps should be clearly identified on an RTH or Globex chart.
  • Practical Example:
    • On an ES chart for October 2025, we see a series of support pivots being established.
    • One by one each level needs to be seen as a “battle” until resolved.
    • Buying Pullbacks in an uptrend works, until exhaustion sets in.
    • When momentum reverses, then the short side resistance pivots need to be considered
    • Context and relative proportions are important, especially on undercut lows and failed breakdowns that recapture a previous pivot level.
