Special thanks to Saroj, there are no superlatives sufficient to describe how her genius, dedication, selflessness, and compassion for all BMT members have taken this indicator...at this point I must digress because I am not sure I feel comfortable using the word "indicator", as it somehow demeans this work of art in a manner analogous to stating the Mona Lisa is a mere "painting". Accordingly, I retract and rephrase...her genius, dedication, selflessness, and compassion for all BMT members have taken this work of art to levels heretofore unknown or even imagined by retail and institutional traders alike.
Multi-Time Range Background to color multiple sessions. Modification of the canned indicator. Was tired of having to add and setup 3 indicators on every chart to separately highlight the lunch, afternoon and overnight sessions. Zip file contains cpp and dll files.
Here is an interesting indicator for placing notes on a chart. Credit goes to Snaphook on Ninja Forum. It can be dropped on the main panel or a panel of its own. You can write up to 10 comments in various color and font sizes.
I find it very useful to list my rules as a reminder on my trading chart.
The attached example screenshot shows Roger Felton's entry and money management rules discussed in his last BMT webinar. Here I have used a Panel Left Edge offset of 530.
I am posting in BMT Elite Section to show Roger's trading rules, otherwise the indicator is public on Ninja Forum downloads.
FiveMinuteOdysseySignals_v2 is the indicator I refer to and describe in my thread, https://nexusfi.com/elite-trading-journals/8035-mwinfreys-5-minute-odyssey.html. This indicator encapsulates rules 1, 2, and 4 as described in the quick summary of that thread. There is accommodation for rule 3 stuff in the indicator but isn't implemented other that a simple filter. However, anyone knowing how to program can find that portion of the code and add some filters if you like.
The indicator can be used for backtesting and accounts for intrabar wiggle. I won't go into detail on how I did that. You can view the code and see for yourself. The main thing is that you understand that what you get in backtesting is what you get forward testing. Of course slippage in live trading exists but not accounted for with this indicator.
You can only use this indicator with COBC = true. Trying to use it set to false does not work. I coded a fail-safe so you can't set it to false.
Parameter Description:
1. You can set up to 4 different trading sessions.
2. Either show PNL or not.
3. Use a trailing stop if you want which triggers with one tick of profit and trails behind profit by the amount you have set for the stoploss.
Indicator colors CAN NOT be customized. Encourage you to use this indicator as-is to prove a concept before you start asking for customizable colors. I really don't intend to spend the time making it any prettier than it is. So, please adjust the colors on your chart so you can see the graphics that I use. Their colors are white, black, red, lime, and blue. However, if you have ideas for rules then please forward them to me and I'll take a look.
RSI with Volatility Bands formula by Manning Stoller

Note that one have to adjust the indicator for each market, since each market has a different momentum "mean". The indicator in the picture is adjusted for the CL where it has a pretty good fit. Only on very high momentum should the RSI have a clean breakout of the volatility bands. Otherwise it should as best as possible be fitted so that RSI is accurately "kissing" the bands on high momentum.
Since markets have a tendency to fall quicker than rising, the factor for the lower volatility band should be greater than the upper.

I found this indicator and it is a slightly different version than anything on the website. I find it really useful for entry and exit points while daytrading. Normal setting is 14, if your daytrading, set it to 7. it overlays over the price.
06/21/2011: (Ver 1.4) Added the option to show "repeat counter" on main chart beside price in the right margin (optional) and to only have the repeat counter pop up when the value goes over 1. (per request from members). NOTE: Will look at adding Minute based bars to the counter on next release...
None of the Ninja counters/timers will work with LineBreak or LineBreakWicked bars. For example, Bars.TickCount and Bars.PercentComplete return un-useable values for LineBreakWicked.
The standard Ninja supplied bar timers/bar counters also demand that a bar complete and then move on the next bar when total ticks/volume have been hit, but a LineBreakWicked chart can stay on the same bar for many ticks, until it completes by "breaking" the number of bars parameter.
This indicator works around these problems.
It works with either Tick or Volume based LineBreakWicked bar types.
Configurable.....
- Displays either either the ongoing "count" or the "count remaining" value
- Displays either actual count or the percentage
- Displays a graphics bar that visually shows the fill progress of the bar
Also
- Displays a second count (to the left) of how many times this LineBreakWicked bar has hit it's tick/volume "limit".
(Ex: how many times a 150tick LineBreakWicked actually went through 150 ticks before breaking a level and moving on)
Last but not least....
- The entire Bar Counter can be moved to TopLeft, TopRight, BottomLeft, BottomRight, or Center
- The entire Bar Counter can be 'shifted' up or down by xx pixels.
- Text Font and Plot colors are configurable
Original graphics code is based on the FancyBarTimer (by tobbe...2010)
This is a simple application of the GomRecorder framework that gets the exact size reported for every trade, then sorts the trades into two types, (at or above the ask and at or below the bid). Then within each type the trades are sorted into four groups based on the volume per trade.
Note that the way the CME reports trade sizes nowadays may be misleading - I think that many single trades are being reported as multiple smaller trades.
The cutoffs for the size groups are user selectable.
Can display either relative volume in the trade groups, or relative number of trades.
There is a user setting to adjust the widths of all the bars.
I have added error trapping and updated calls to the methods of the GomRecorder.
The problem on Volume based charts seems to be fixed now. If you downloaded this before about 11:15 AM ET on June 3 you will not have the latest version and should download again.
August 20th, 2013 09:19 AM Amsterdam Whale Winner, "2013 Amsterdam Whale Recognition of Achievement Award" for best indicator name, 2013. Bravo! Actually love the
work itself too. Use every day, just wanted to add a little something extra in the way of recognition. It's not often I
read an indicator name and have even the first clue what the bloody thing does! One helluva dot placer.
August 16th, 2012 04:03 PM Bob6307 another great job. thanks for the work you do.
December 27th, 2011 03:51 PM bobc635 Thanks, looks interesting, have been using GOMs excellent work for quite a while, this could be a nice addition...
December 27th, 2011 09:47 AM Bobi Thank you, great indicator.
October 25th, 2011 02:41 AM Aragorn Nicely done. Great work.
June 15th, 2012 08:34 PM bobc635 Thx, I have been using this for a while now, I have applied it to the RSI making it really easy to see RSI Slope change
