Every Quad Rotation setup, marked on your chart the moment it forms. Divergences with both stages joined, flags boxed, running legs outlined, and a recommended stop printed on each one. No hunting, no second-guessing — you see what the method sees.
The Quad Rotation method is built on four stacked stochastics and the setups that form between them. Finding those setups by eye, across every bar of every session, is the part that wears people down.
The Pattern Scanner does that watching for you. It marks each setup as it completes, shows you the two stages it was built from, and prints where the stop belongs. What you do with it is still your call — it identifies, it doesn't trade.
Price makes a low. The oscillator makes a low with it. Later price makes a lower low — and the oscillator refuses to follow. That gap between them is the setup.
Price makes a new low while the oscillator is below 20. That anchors the setup.
The oscillator crosses back above 20. The setup is now armed and watching.
Price makes a lower low — but the oscillator holds above 20 and never dips back under. If it does dip, the setup is void and starts over.
The oscillator turns up. Only now is the divergence marked, with its recommended stop.
Sell divergences are the exact mirror at the 80 line. Nothing is drawn until a setup completes every stage, which is why you will not see markers appearing and disappearing as bars form.
Every one can be switched on or off independently, so your chart shows only what you actually trade.
The core setup. Two stages on the fast band, drawn as a line joining the stage that anchored it to the stage that confirmed it, with the full span highlighted.
The same two-stage rule read from the slower 40-4 band. Because it moves far more slowly, these span many more bars and carry more weight when they complete. Drawn in blue so it is never confused with a 9-3.
After a divergence completes, price often pushes to one more extreme while the oscillator flatly refuses to follow — and has to hold its line the entire leg. Outlined as its own box, on both the 9-3 and the 40-4.
A regime pinned at its extreme while the fast band rotates the opposite way on that same bar. One rotation, one signal, boxed where it formed.
When a flag and a divergence land together, that is the strongest confluence the method produces. Called out in its own colour so you cannot miss it in a busy session.
Background shading for the periods when the rotation bands sit at their extremes — the conditions in which the other setups carry the most weight.
The box on its own doesn't explain why that pullback qualified, so both bands are shown underneath it.
Price keeps making lower lows while the 9-3 makes higher ones and refuses to drop back under its line. The first two lows are the divergence itself; the third is the running leg.
Two independent setups agreeing on the same few bars. Marked in its own colour because it is the one you least want to miss.
The 9-3, 14-3, 40-4 and 60-10 each read a different slice of momentum. Most of the time they disagree. When they don't, that's worth knowing about.
Each divergence is marked with a recommended stop, placed a set number of ticks beyond the extreme that formed it — the same reference the Nexus strategy stops against. You can change the distance, the font size, or switch it off entirely.
Every completed setup can be reported to the DTR scanner dashboard as it happens, so you can watch several instruments without a chart open for each one. Optional, and off for running divergences by default.
Every threshold that decides whether a setup counts is a parameter you set from NinjaTrader's own properties panel. No code, no recompiling.
Every setting, with what it does and when to change it, is covered in the manual.
Windows only. The free version is enough — you do not need a funded account to run the indicator on live or simulated data.
Futures, stocks, forex, crypto. It reads the bands on whatever chart you put it on. Built and tuned on index futures.
Delivered by email after purchase. Paste it into the indicator's License Key field once and it is remembered.
In NinjaTrader's Control Center: Tools → Import → NinjaScript Add-On, and choose the .zip exactly as you downloaded it. Do not unzip it first.
An add-on that is already loaded keeps running the old code until you restart. This is the step people skip.
Right-click your chart → Indicators → DTR Pattern Scanner.
Into the License Key field at the top of the settings. That's it.
Every setup explained stage by stage, all 40 settings with what they do and when to change them, recommended starting configurations, and a troubleshooting section built from real support questions.
No. The Pattern Scanner identifies setups and draws them — nothing more. If you want the setups traded automatically, that's RockBot Nexus, which uses the same detection code.
No. The indicator works on its own, and plenty of traders use it to take these setups by hand. If you already own Nexus, the indicator is included in that bundle and unlocks with the same key.
No marker is drawn until its setup has completed every stage on a closed bar. You will not see signals appear and then vanish.
Anything NinjaTrader charts. The thresholds were tuned on index futures, and you may want to adjust them for a very different instrument — every one is a setting.
By default it only marks signals between midnight and 3:30 PM Eastern. If you trade the evening session, untick Use Signal Time Filter in the settings.
No — see the disclosure below. It is an identification tool. A setup is a shift in the odds, not a certainty, and what you do with one is still a trading decision.
