There was something wrong with the export I did 6 January 2011. If you downloaded before 8 January 2011 the version you downloaded probably will not import. Sorry for any inconvenience.
The original version colors the background depending on the user set threshold but does not change the lines on the Histograph. This version sets the lines according to the threshold as well as changes the background color.
Here's a ADXVMA indicator with bands (similar to Keltner Channel). I've put this together in NT 6.5, but I've checked and it imports into NT 7 without any problems, and as far as I can tell it does not repaint. Please let me know if you have any comments.
The BB's are based on a 20 SMA and 3x multiples thereof: 20 (green), 60 (blue), 180 (red), 540 (White or Black). They create natural SR levels since they are based on the statistical distance from the SMA.
A BB Cluster is when two or more outer BBs are synchronous... the more the stronger; the higher the TF, the stronger; the longer the chart TF, the stronger.
Good for seeing trend (or not); good for seeing possible SR (support/resistance); good for deciding when to exit (hint... HVS - high volume spike - on a 30 sec chart and price goes outside the bands on whatever TF you are watching... drop all but one and wait for the PB).
Attached is version 2.03. It does NOT work in NT 6.5 but does work in NT 7 with beta 22 or later.
Again, this is a major rewrite. Backup your old copy first, this one will overwrite it. If you don't like the new one you can go back to the old one this way.
There are two parameter options.
Multiplier - 1.0 is normal. If you feel the bands are too tight, you can raise this value, but it will no longer represent the real retracement levels of the daily ATR.
ATR Length - 7 is default. Lower will adapt more quickly to a changing market (like the recent huge fluctuations on CL). Higher will adapt slower.
I've added two extra bands to show the 100% and 161.8% levels. I've set the default colors the way I like them, which is different than the last version so take note. I also like the bands to blend into the chart, so the Alpha opacity is set for each plot.
You'll need to redo your template as the Plot names and settings have changed.
The histogram has been removed.
As far as I can tell, I've solved the math bugs. Please report any problems.

May 21st, 2016 08:36 PM Randy Dotson I know nothing about programming NT7. But I would really like a buy stop limit and a sell stop limit button that would p
ut the order at the price that would complete the bar. In other words, a bar is building. I have the quantity and strate
gy set up on the chart trader. As the current bar is building, I push the buy or sell button and it places the order at
one tick above or below what will be the top or bottom of the range bar. That is the price that will have to be hit for
the bar to complete. Can anyone help with this. It would be dependent on the range in use on the chart it was being used
on.

July 14th, 2011 11:41 AM tony2604 This looks great. But I have problems with understanding how to use. Eg what or where do I have to code for having the c
lose button working? Thank you!
