Unlike traditional bar types that use time and/or price as a basis to form a bar, the NinjaTrader Delta Bars utilize the Cumulative Delta. Similar to Renko bars, the NinjaTrader Delta bars contain trend and reversal parameters that allow you to modify how the bars are built. Because the Delta bars are formed based on supply and demand, they can provide much more valuable insight in to the markets.

Parameters

Trend Ticks

A new brick is created in the same direction of the current brick if the tick delta completes the trend ticks delta amount in the same direction. The Delta Renko bars grant the ability to specify the delta measurement to complete a bar in the direction of the current trend.  By having control over this parameter, it can be required to have more or less force in the current trend direction to continue the trend.  This parameters is in ticks. It can be seen through these images, that as the Trend Ticks decreases, the trend is more prominently dictated.  This is because as the threshold to complete a bar in the direction of the trend decreases, a bar is created in the direction of the trend more easily.

Reversal Ticks

A new brick is created in the opposite direction of the current brick if the tick delta completes the reversal ticks delta amount in the same direction. The Delta Renko bars grant the ability to specify the delta measurement to complete a bar in the opposite direction of the current trend.  By having control over this parameter, it can be required to have more or less force in the current trend direction to reverse the trend.  This parameters is in ticks. It can be seen through these images, that as the Reversal Ticks increases, the trend is more prominently dictated.  This is because as the threshold to complete a bar in the direction opposite of the trend increases, more pressure is required in the opposite direction to create a reversal bar.
