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.
Some of you may be using the Adaptive_CCI that I shared some time ago on this forum. This version of the CCI is a simpler version and optimized a bit.
Separate definable colors are available to distinguish between the above the zero line CCI and below the zero line CCI.
This version maintains the ability to select an adaptive period by placing a "0" in the period field.
Changelog:
March 20 2013: Reposted because thanks to @Taggart for noticing a serialization problem where the colors would not repaint after a chart was saved.

CCL is abbreviation for 'Confirmed CLose'. Years ago I rejected indicators - which I now I have a more friendly relationship with btw- and went into bars. The only trading seminar I went to was by Kent Calhoun who developed his 5 vertical bar trading pattern, essentially a 3 bar swing with some rules, but from which he designed some very effective strategies.
I modified his pattern to feature a 'confirmed close' meaning that only if the close takes out the low of the #4 bar (in a forming high swing) is the pattern verified. Very simple. But not so easy to code. Once that was done, you have the ShowMe included which plots confirmed by close (ccl) swing highs and lows color coded such that higher highs and higher lows are bullish color (for me yellow), LL and LH bearish and a swing whose high or low penetrates a previous one but whose close does not confirm is red, i.e. neither bullish nor bearish and often indicative of trend exhaustion, new trend change etc.
Then there are some Fib levels from those swings.
Also a set that project targets.
There's another one somewhere that determines long term trends by keep track of 'Active Highs' and 'Active Lows', i.e. a low whose developing swing made a higher high is Active until it is penetrated or a higher active low is formed. The trend is up until an active low is penetrated. In this way a bull market is defined as higher highs, and a bear market is defined as lower lows in that a bear market only starts if an active low is penetrated and a bull if an active high is penetrated. If/when I find it I will post it here without further explanation.
Picture shows the attached files in action. Colors are garish by TS8 and Ninja standards but some might find the swing patterns of interest. TS8 users will find they can be made to look quite elegant.
Also, they can be helpful for developing wave and other calculations because the swing points can be referenced. That said, Ninja has a very good swing high/low function, although I must say that the confirmed close business does filter out many bad swings, but doesn't always need multiples of ATR's (and 5-10 bars) to determine them.
This is the final version of the older CCLFibBands. I took Fib out of the title because it is much more than Fibs and indeed Fibs are not necessarily a core component. Users can input Fib ratios for the band widths but apart from that it's really a multi-band-type tool which can be used in a wide variety of ways.
1. Mean price based on various types of MA including BMT collective and other collectives, vwap (24 hr).
2. Mean based on day-range midprice or manually input price such as the Open, Yesterday Close or whatever you like.
3. Several types of band: ATR-based, StD based or custom default which is combination of ATR and percentage of price; also can be more or less responsive to short-term volatility; also can be based on looking back to see average maximum ranges over time to fix the outer bands and work the inner ones back from there.
4. One more minor wrinkle: can average any midline with the vwap. Also dynamic PVP is available as a mean.
5. Has target printing capability as DataSeries onetime plot dots or more extended text prints (which cannot be autoscale = falsed unfortunately), based on instant crossover of a band or later confirmed swing points (in Calc Bar Close mode only for swing option).
As far as I can tell, the indicator works well with no errors. When choosing any option involving the targets based on swing, have to keep indy in CalconBarClose = true; that confused me for a while. This because the Swing Indicator used to determine swing prices is calconbarclose only.
The attached picture shows Jan 6 am action in Gold with the mean price based on the POC/PVP price from yesterday afternoon. This is using the Manual MAtype and having a price typed into the ManualOverridePrice input. Also in this case I had the Lookback option on the band calculations. The Std bands probably would have contained price better but the purpose of this setup was to gauge whether or not the morning was looking like a rangebound day or a trend day. The price charging way above the old PVP and the outer bands clearly indicated a trend day. So in this case not used for trading signals per se, simply perspective on market situation.
There are many ways this indicator can be used. Hopefully the comments are helpful given how many options there are, but hopefully also anyone who finds bands helpful will take the time to simply experiment with different options.
Lifted from the BetterVolume2 Indicator available on the Ninja Forum and originally written by Barry Taylor and available for free, this one features a few additions including:
some of Cory's volume stop work;
some additional patterns (many of them experimental) which track various combination such as down bar, then churn, then up bar. Small-size wingdings are used to highlight such signals which can easily be turned off once they are learned and/or different ones added.
This is not nearly as sophisticated as many of the live-updating buysell/delta indies out there. The Tradestation version of BetterVolume does a good job of reading up and down ticks but this is much tricker in Ninja and this indicator was not programmed that way (though at this point I think it could/should be) with less difficulty than a year or so ago since more independent programmers out there have shared so much stuff.
To activate the volume signals, change the MA Period from 20 to 21. Then read through the Descriptions for the other options. It's fairly straightforward.
The attached pic shows two version of BetterVolume2 which I had up to ensure this latest version with a different name (so as not to over-write the original BetterVolume2 on others computers) was working correctly.
This is the CCT Keltner indicator for MultiCharts, converted from NinjaTrader.
Instead of just plotting the oscillating CCT Ketlner, the indicator also highlights divergences where red is a confirmed negative divergence, green a confirmed positive divergence, and orange a potential divergence.
Overextended CCT Keltner values often signal the end of a trend, but since the CCT Keltner isn't restricted to a range of 0 to 100 (like the RSI and Stochastics), you'll need to add other indicators or price action to determine how 'overextended' overextended is.
This indicator includes the CCTKeltner function for easy use in backtesting.
This is the Belkhayate COG (Center of Gravity) indicator. Also known as a polynomial regression channel with 3 std deviations and many other names. I transported this code directly from here.
If anybody has any useful information regarding the usability of the indicator I'd appreciate the feedback. The fact that it repaints takes a lot away from it, but here it is in case someone has use for it!
June 27th, 2013 02:03 PM yiman Thanks very much, ilike this set of indicators and i find them very useful.I was wondering if you ever found the set tha
t projects targets.
Is there some info somewhere that will help me make better use of these indicators please.
Thanks again

March 30th, 2013 03:16 AM jpstyles2002 Very nice work on this! Works great and really enjoying it. Is there any possibiltiy to have audio programmed into it fo
r the zero line cross by chance?

August 3rd, 2018 05:09 PM Zephyr I'm a HUGE believer in the Polynomial Regression Channel. If it's coded correctly, it's highly predictive for support a
nd resistance. I use 2 of them on my charts. One is longer term (150 - 200 bars for daytrading), and one is short-term
(50 bars). I only use upper and lower lines. I use one at full range for the multiple time frames of swing trading.
The only one I've ever seen coded perfectly and correctly is the one made by Robert Payne at www.funwiththinkscript.com
- made for Thinkorswim.
Thank you very much for this. I will test it shortly.

May 27th, 2017 01:55 AM romus I am keen to see live results from trading it (about to test on some strategies in NT7) - even though it repaints, but a
s long as highs and lows stay within extremes the results should be as per backtesting.
It certainly is difficult to follow visually.
I am not into NT8 yet - but glad to see this indi is already converted
