The indicator has numerous options to customize the layout, including the option to extend the openings range untill the price close outside it. The source code is commented to make clear what's happening where, in case you want to change it.
Note: for better MultiChars performance, you might want to uncheck the option "Update on every tick", since that isn't needed here.

This is just a handy tool i made for myself and thought that maybe other traders will find it useful. As i am usually trading from charts but like to keep an eye on the orderflow, specially on areas of interest for entries or exits.
The indicator is just kind of a simple Footprint SnapShot, which can be toggled by double clicking on the chart. By holding the Control-Key while double clicking, the SnapShot will be reset.
Happy Trading,
Mike
(i am not planning to add anything else to this indicator but everybody is free to use and edit the provided code)
This is the original code for Amibroker by Karthik. If you are interested you can program something for NT7 or make improvements for NT 6.5 code, which you can download here in the forum. I have noticed the VSA Indicator for NT 6.5 has often times false signals/ alerts. For example it tells you sometimes that there is a test bar, but there should be by definition not or vice versa. And many more little definition mistakes.

Coded to my interests at the time, MultiTimeFrame Strategy: also has some interesting code for Profit Targets and Trailing Stops. One interesting thing (at least for me lol) I had included was an option that if the bar closed over a trigger for moving the trailing loss, not just if it hit the trigger value. Audio and Visual Alerts. Works on historical data.
I had this built to help ultilize the information that was locked up in the Ninjatrader oscillator list. Now you can specify what oscillator you want to monitor, and look for reversals inside of a threshold to see where that oscillator has formed a reverse delta.
I would deploy it in one of two configurations depending on the trading strategy. I had it made to see the entries with trend, to be accompanied with an EMA_Slope indicator. In this case, I would set the "Level_OB = -100" and "Level_OS = 100" to see every possible turn, but filter visually with trend.
When deployed with a volatility filter (keltner/bollinger,etc) set the "Level_OB" and "Level_OS" just shy of the average max min to see deviations near the extreme highs and lows.
Notes:
Datafeed Config Parameters: Experiment with non-time bars such as range or tick. These will show pivots cleaner many times sans the issues associated with choppy wicks. Be sure to make sure the bar type you're using is chosen under "Base Data Type" and "Base Data Value".
Data/Input Series: Here is where you choose the oscillator you wish to monitor from the list of indicators on your machine, and the value of that oscillator.
A simple and classic momentum oscillator from Dr. Alexander Elder. This optimized version has the same features as the one that was posted on the Ninjatrader forum, with the added option of using the WMA.
However, the version on the Ninjatrader forum, aside from the usual inefficient method of making calls to external classes (that people everywhere, including here are so fond of) also had a crude and primitive method for selecting the types of MA's to be used, which I replaced with Enums. This was one of the worst programmed indicators that I have found so far.

"The Moving Average of Oscillator (OsMA), is an indicator that is calculated by taking the difference between a shorter-term moving average and a longer-term moving average. The two most common are the 12 period moving average and the 26 period moving averages. Because of this fact, it is best described as a modification of the classic MACD Indicator. A cross through the zero or center line can be a very simple way to decide if momentum is gaining to the bullish side, or if it is falling to the bearish side. Many traders will use the side of the line that the histogram is on to help them decide which direction they want to be in a particular market.
This indicator can be used to spot divergences as well. A divergence is simply when price isn’t in tune with actual underlying momentum. During divergence, you may have a new high on the price chart, but the OsMa is failing to make new highs." -fxstrategy.com
Converted from the old OsMA in NT6.5/7 which itself is derived from the MACD indicator. For me it is the Diff line from the MACD, but with more energy and better divergences.

Overview:
Built in 892, but should work in some earlier versions.
This spreadsheet calculates your profit/loss after commissions, based on 3 data:
Daily PL
Net PL
OpenPL
-The calculation subtracts the full round trip commission per contract, even if you still have a position open.
-This is a standalone study that does not require any other studies for its calculations, but it is intended to be used with the Text (Large) Display for Study study, so that you can display any/all of the 3 values anywhere in the chart region. The chart in the pic is only an example.
Instructions:
-Unzip the attached file, put the contents in your Sierra Chart \data folder.
-Focus your chart, click on Analysis >> PL After Comm-
-When asked 'Clear existing studies on chart?' , choose No.
-Enter your round trip commissions in cell J2.
-It is recommended that you use the PL After Comm-.StdyCollct file because it loads the correct spreadsheet study and contains the correct settings.
-This spreadsheet study uses the Spreadsheet System for Trading study because it the only study that has the required outputs. To assure that it does not cause erroneous entries, autotrading has been disabled in cell J28. Furthermore, do not put any formulas in columns K,L,M,N.
Update: You may instead want to consider using the Trading: Profit/Loss Text study now that it has the option to deduct commissions from the DPL, NPL, and OpenPL. However, it does not subtract the full round trip commission per contract when you still have a position open.
December 12th, 2016 08:14 PM whiterhino Thanks for your feedback Z, This coding is the standard MACD coding format. Divergences are predictive btw. Many trade
rs use them to predict tops and bottoms before the turn.
May 5th, 2016 01:21 AM Zondor Not recommended. Inefficiently coded, but that's beside the point. Lagging, price dependent indicators like this do not
confer an edge. They simply reflect a foggy view of what has already occurred on the price chart.

January 15th, 2023 12:23 AM Davydh This is a useful tool except it doesn't let you do midnight.
June 4th, 2022 12:40 PM rjoerosso I am trying to mark the midnight NY time opening bar. My inputs are EventHour = 0 And EventMinute = 0. And nothing s
hows up. Can you help?
September 5th, 2021 02:08 PM bobc635 @BKOp... Hi and thanks for the feedback.... I dont use Bloodhound so I dont know what they are looking for. The line
is drawn from a Draw.Line statement, whose parameters are defined by the AddPlot statement in the State.Configure... P
erhaps in your BH documentation they define what is needed. You can either have a codie that uses BH do the mod for you
, or send me the documentation and I will re-configure the indie to do what they prescribe. Since I dont have BH, you w
ill have to check it out and we will go back and forth to debug it.
Thanks and Trade Well...
