Details about what the indicator is and does can be found at the above link. This version is a minor update, and the script was updated by @Zondor. Thanks to him for that!
He made some changes to the original for optimization, and cleaned the script up a bit. There is still plenty that could be done to make the indicator better which I have not done yet.
Note: This indie still uses the old version of FT's VWAP(version33).
ThatManFromTexas (I lived in Texas for four years, too!) created this useful indicator that colors the region between two moving averages.
I applied extremely aggressive optimization techniques that should reduce the CPU cycles on COBC false by 90% or more compared to the original version. I used every trick I could think of: moving code that was executing on every tick to OnStartUp(), using predefined instances of the external indicators, and redundant tick rejection. If you select EMA's, they will be calculated within the indicator, without any need to use an instance of the EMA class.

Why do this? Optimally coded indicators load faster, and use less computer resources while running. CPU cycles are not free. Using less of them makes Ninjatrader more responsive and reliable. Charts load faster, and lag less in fast markets. Crashes and freezes become less frequent.
Have you noticed how quickly this indicator loads, and how responsive it is? Please leave comments regarding your experience with this version. Maybe some day ALL of your indicators can be coded like this.....
A very basic version of the Ichimoku from the Ninjatrader® forum, with only the essentials. Nothing special except for the code optimization which makes it want to run with CalculateOnBarClose = FALSE. Seems to work okay in replay... at 500x actual market speed.
This is good enough for now, but further optimization is possible. The MIN and MAX functions are being called more often than actually necessary, and redundant intrabar ticks are being processed.

I wrote this indicator based on an article in December 2011 Active Trader magazine on Lentz Volatility Indicator used for non-directional premium selling strategies.
The indicator is basically a measure of volatility where positive values suggest favorable conditions for non-directional premium selling. Negative values provide a warning against non-directional premium selling.
The indicator can also be used to determine whether the market is trending, ranging, or undecided.
