The indicator displays the Volume Weighted Average Price of the selected session. It can be used on all types of charts.
You can apply the indicators to charts with several intraday sessions. You can then select via indicator panel, for which session the VWAP shall be shown.
ETH session: The VWAP will be calculated for the full session, if ETH is selected via indicator dialogue.
RTH session: It is possible to display the VWAP for the RTH session or the night session. Set indicator to RTH and select the number of the session, for example "First" for the night session and "Second" for the RTH session.
RTH multi: The VWAP will be displayed starting from the open of the RTH session as specified and then continue through the after session.
Volatility Bands: The indicators has three different modes to calculate volatility bands. For each of the modes multipliers can be selected.
Variance_Price: The variance is calculated from the selected input values of the price bars and the last known value for the VWAP within the current session. This way of calculating the bands is similar to calculating Bollinger Bands with a variable period starting with the first bar of the session.
Variance_Distance: The variance is calculated from the selected input values of the price bars and the value for the VWAP corresponding to price. It is a variance of the vertical distance of price from VWAP. This method corrects for a trend and produces slightly narrower bands on a trending day.
Session_Range: The quarter range of the current session is used as a measure of volatility instead of the standard deviation.
Public Holidays: For Globex instruments the indicator will display the ETH VWAP for the two-day-session including a public holiday. The indicator is preconfigured for the Globex holiday calendar.
Colors: Different colors can be selected for rising and falling VWAP. Also colors and opacities can be selected for the areas between the inner bands, middle bands and outer bands.

Current version is V7
This indicator tries to detect price/indicator divergence.
Any indicator in Ninja can be used and detection is possible on historical and real time charts.
To set the user indicator : goto ECIDiv parameters / Data / Input Series and choose your indicator.
When the user indicator data uses multiple periods, the Plot input is used.
ECIDiv was designed for standard Ninja period types. Usage of other period types is not guaranteed nor supported.
The divergence computation uses local turning points (called pivots) calculated on the price and the user indicator input.
When price and indicator diverge (regular or hidden divergences) an audio and visual signal is given.
Size of pivot (number of bars to the left and right) is adjustable (default size is 1).
Reminder :
Regular Divergence occurs when :
* Long signal : price makes LL and indicator HL.
* Short signal: price makes HH and indicator LH.
Hidden Divergence occurs when :
* Long signal: price makes HL and indicator LL.
* Short signal : price makes LH and indicator HH.
(LL = Lower Low, HL = Higher Low, HH = Higher High, LH = Lower High).
ECIDiv draws the input indicator. If you don't want it to be drawn, simply set it to transparent.
The input method introduced in the V7 is based on the one used by the indicator DivergenceInputSeries (that you can also find in Big Mike Forum).
TODO :
* Continue watching Big Mike Trading users feedback.
