A squeeze that just fired long, with RSI, waves and ADX read out in the header.

Chart pictures are illustrations of the software, not a performance record. Futures trading carries substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor, and hypothetical or simulated results have inherent limitations that may differ materially from live trading. Risk disclosures.

Why you need it

A squeeze indicator that only tells you a squeeze is on leaves the two harder questions unanswered: how good is the fire when it comes, and is a reversion trade even on the table right now. DS Squeeze reads compression as one continuous number instead of a binary dot, grades every fire against ADX and wave context the moment it happens, and only arms its reversion play when there genuinely is no squeeze and no run to fade.

What grades a fire

Compression reads as one continuous number, not a dot — COILING, SQUEEZE and DEEP are thresholds on top of it — and every fire is graded the moment it happens, not just flagged.

  1. 01ADX and two wave horizons produce PRIME down to BARE, or AGAINST FLOW
  2. 02EARLY marks the fastest wave hooking toward the others before the fire prints
  3. 03TTM momentum drawn as a line, normalized by ATR, over a tier-colored centerline
  4. 04A reversion setup arms — with a defined target and 1:1 risk — only when there is no squeeze and no running fire

Where it runs

Any market NinjaTrader charts

  • Futures — runs on it

  • Forex — runs on it

Reads price only. Compression is Bollinger width over ATR — a ratio, with nothing tied to one market's point size.

What it reads

Price only (closed bars). No volume, no tick data.

Good to know

Two playbooks that never compete for your attention on the same bar. The panel's Y-axis locks, so a chart drag can never distort the read.

Closed-bar decisions throughout — it does not repaint.

Test it on your own charts first.

Four screenshots and a paragraph are not enough to judge an indicator on. Watch it work in your own instrument, on your own timeframe, before it goes anywhere near a live account. Both ways of doing that are free.

  1. 01

    Replay a session you have already seen

    Market Replay runs a past session back tick by tick, at whatever speed you like. You get to watch DS Squeeze print in conditions you remember, and pause on the bars where it mattered.

  2. 02

    Then trade it forward, on the simulator

    Replay shows you the past with the ending already known. The simulator does not — it runs live, in real time, on real prices, with nothing at stake. That is where you find out whether you can actually act on what you are seeing.

A simulated fill is not a live fill. Replay and the simulator cannot reproduce real queue position, slippage, or what it feels like to hold a position with money on it, and results from either may differ materially from live trading. Test to learn how a tool behaves — not to estimate what it might return.

DS Squeeze, moment by moment

The conditions DS Squeeze is built for, drawn by its shipped rules. Scroll and scale it like a chart, replay it bar by bar, jump between its moments, or switch the chart to light.

DS Replay examples are illustrative: each scenario is composed for the example from recorded one-minute futures candles, to show the conditions a tool is built for, and is not a recording of a trading session. The tool drawing on it runs its shipped rules unchanged. They show how the software reads price; they are not a performance record, no trade is taken or shown, and live markets often behave differently. Futures trading carries substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor, and hypothetical or simulated results have inherent limitations that may differ materially from live trading.
