Colors the bars of the price series based on a request in the "Want Your Indicators Created Free" thread. The version posted there was improved.
The coloring is based on whether the underlying MACD is rising or falling. The MACD is the difference between two EMA's.
This version allows user selection of the MACD fast and slow periods and is optimally coded for minimal CPU usage. The calculation of the EMA's and the MACD is done within the indicator, eliminating any dependence on external indicators. Error trapping has been added.
I copyrighted it with a prohibition of commercial distribution. Please let me know if you find it turning up for sale anywhere.

This version has problems with error handling for missing tick values on different trading session times!
! Please NOT longer use/download this version !
=> download 2 items upper now the new version12 from 17.3. and confirm the overwrite/replace question by the import dialog, hopefully now without raise unhandled exceptions
A alternate method calculation the TRUE tickcount and other stats of any bartypes.
(use a MultTickChart and you can simple compare the true result values with the fixed count)
Sorry, the @MWinfrey version has WRONG results, its missing the needed 1Tick based sync logic !?...
The multiple public results of my version can external use as DataSeries with any strategy rules or as internal input for other indicators... (only limited by the high cpu load)
For visualize different values i use a little trick to "normalize"... i add 90000..50000 steped by 10000... this give 5 separate result lines. Over the databox you can check this. For "using" the value you need only a Modulo 10000... for example: 70168 % 10000 = 168 and this is the right tick count. Equal way for bar time and tick volume and bar power ("OC+HL tick movement")
The state value is only for check the sync state (blue or cyan say "InSync")
If needed, i can add a selectable normal ResultValue for simple drawing a tickcount histogram

TicksPerTimeFrame was written by Mike Winfrey 3/15/2012
The intent of this indicator is to count the number of ticks in a non-tick based bar. So, placing this indicator on a 5 minute chart will count the number of ticks during that bar and display it as a histogram in it's own panel. There is also a plot representing the average number of ticks over a period that is specified in a parameter. You also have choice of how you count the ticks. The default is to count every tick but can be changed to count the number of times price actually changes.
This indicator works on historic as well as live data.
Again, this indicator can be used on any bartype.
Actually I have no idea if this information is useful at all. I think it might be to help identify areas where activity might indicate momentum.
Note: @TimeTrade mentioned that this indicator only gives wrong results. So, I did some research to figure out why he said that. I contacted him and got his point of view then I compared the tick count in his t4tBarCalc01 indicator with my TicksPerTimeFrame indicator and noticed a discrepancy on some bars by a few ticks. I physically counted the ticks on those bars where there was a discrepancy and found that my indicator counts correctly.
A alternate method for a simple way to use the volume(or tick count) as colored trade size histogram (per direction or cumulative).
Based only on 1Tick data with compare the ticks with price movement.
The group trades into size categories based on user controlled cutoff points that define small, medium, large and extra large trades. (comperable to Zondor's GomCD based logic)
Gomi use OnBid/OnAsk and has more informations for ticks without price movement (hold ticks). I think, for the ticks with real price moves, my "simple" version work nerly comperable/equal
The advantage is: i no need any recorded database, i use the NT7 tickhistory with a additional 1Tick DataSeries inside the indicator for working with any bartypes.
(As internal special feature i use my own sync method for use the correct real count of tick/volume per bar)
The indicator and the logic can work with any bartypes and intraday timeframes, not only with my t4tReversal bars.
The public results can external use as DataSeries with any strategy rules or as internal input for with any other indicators... (only limited by the high cpu load)

(This update version use the same 'v12' file names for simple replace... please redownload and confirm the overwrite, if loaded before 25.3.2012)
changelog:
2012 Mar 25. -> update "CumCDv13" on chart/dialog of NT7
2012 Mar 11. -> initial "CumCDv12" on chart/dialog of NT7
A alternate method for a simple way to use the volume(or tick count) of cumulative trades per direction. Based on 1Tick data with compare the ticks with price movement.
Gomi use OnBid/OnAsk and has more informations for ticks without price movement (hold ticks). I think, for the ticks with real price moves, my "simple" version work comperable/equal For right results on time based chart (sec/min) please use a full tickbased bar type (free t4tBetterBars or full t4tMagicBars or any other types without future timestamps...)
The advantage is: i no need any recorded database, i use the NT7 tickhistory with a additional 1Tick DataSeries inside the indicator for working with any bartypes.
(As internal special feature i use my own sync method for use the correct real count of tick/volume per bar)
The public result plot value can be used as Input for any other indicators... (only limited by the high cpu load)
new V13: The screenshot view two t4tCumUD with the new modes of added lines... if reinit per session = true, then all session starts with "0", if "false" then one line draw the open value per session and one as zeroline.
(Lines can be disabled with setting the line color as "transparent")
For any problems give a response over the t4tCum thread.

Here is the most recent version of the Trade Size Analyzer, which groups trades into size categories based on user controlled cutoff points that define small, medium, large and extra large trades. (Sorry, no Jumbo® or Colossal® categories.)
I uploaded the .cs file to avoid making an installation package that would have needed to include the entire Gom Framework.
Do not install this indicator without having first installed the complete Gom Framework consisting of the GomRecorderIndicator and related classes.
