A selective, long-only ES futures strategy using proprietary market-regime and directional-confirmation logic.
Strategy overview
Kijun Sentinel is a fully automated, long-only NinjaTrader 8 strategy for E-mini S&P 500 futures. It is designed specifically for ES on the 60-minute timeframe and follows a defined set of rules from market evaluation through position exit.
The strategy uses a proprietary rule set to evaluate market conditions, price around a Kijun-style equilibrium level and broader directional structure before allowing an entry.
Selective market and trend filtering
Kijun Sentinel combines market-regime assessment with multi-factor directional confirmation. A position is considered only when its internal conditions align.
This selective approach means the strategy can remain inactive when its required market conditions are not present, rather than reacting to every short-term price movement.
Automated position management
Kijun Sentinel manages one long position at a time and does not use pyramiding. Positions can be closed when internal conditions no longer support the trade, when the maximum holding period is reached, or through the configured protective stop and profit target.
Order quantity, risk parameters and the visible strategy periods can be adjusted directly in NinjaTrader 8.
