Congestion Box CustomV1 ( CBoxCustomV1 ) 5 *

Many thanks to the creator of the Congestion Box for Range Bars, jabeztrading, who posted his NT7 indie on FIO 10 years ago next month. Since that time a few traders, especially BobC, have continued to update and add functionality to the new NT8 version.

This customization:
  • adds selectable minimum number of bars for your CBox
  • adds selectable maximum tick differential between the Open and Close of your CBox bars
  • adds a diamond shape at double tops and double bottoms of your bars
  • adds a diamond shape at your choice of ticks above/below CBox to show a break up or break down to a specific level
  • adds selectable sound alerts (adaptation from BobC again) for
:
initial formation of your CBox
double tops and double bottoms
warning of a breakout 1 tick above or below CBox boundaries
  • double top and double bottom markers are done with purple and pink diamonds respectively
  • your break up and break down confirmation markers are done with green and blue
diamonds respectively.

Congestion boxes settings will vary from instrument to instrument. You will probably have experiment with the settings until you find what you want for your instrument. There will be some discussion at the thread above regarding how I use CBoxes in my trading.

Congestion Box For Range Bars 5 *
NinjaTrader Ver 7.0.1000.3

//UPDATED INDICATOR: You can now change opacity and color of the three types of boxes.

Just a simple code to show colored boxes when there seems to be tight congestion. The logic was designed for range bar charts but it can work on minute charts. The drawing of the box is delayed by two bars.
The green and red boxes might represent possible supply and demand zones based on simple logic of how prize moved away from the boxes. The coloring is also delayed.
I welcome improvements, changes, ideas, or maybe it's useless. You be the judge.

Congestion Counts 5 *
Congestion Counts help measure how many consecutive bars overlap each other. High counts can be a clue that the market is very range bound and building energy. There are two types of congestion counts to consider, the group method seemingly more useful. This was originally downloaded from here, which is sometimes a very slow link.

CongestionBox4RangeNT8 5 *
Updated: 9/10/2016
Fixed problem with dataseries which prevented the indicator from being saved with the workspace.

Converted from the NT7 version. Originally design for range bars to box in those congestion areas produced by up and down bars that resulted from the market not going anywhere (it's not perfect).
But some folks had success using the indicator on minute charts.
The box is delayed and the red and green colors are even more delay but this was not meant to be a real time indicator.
Added public series to hold values for upper levels, lower levels, and bar numbers, to be accessed from
strategies.
Note: Right now the indicator do not show draw objects when added to a strategy using AddChartIndicator therefore ist's not going to draw rectangles on charts. Ninjatrader trader is aware of the bug and said it is already fixed and we will see it in the next release. Using Beta Version 8.0.0.8 (Multi-Broker).

Special thanks to Sirkin01 and philm for their ideas to help improve the indicator.

CongestionBoxBC 5 *
Hello Traders. This indicator looks for a congestion of candles and then a break out. Once the breakout is confirmed, it paints the box up or down and indicates the POC of that congestion box. The indicator is working in real time, but does not paint the box until the breakout is confirmed (2bars). You can change the Box Color if you want to see all of the boxes forming. I find that distracting.

I downloaded the CongestionBox4RNT8 a few months ago and I like the indicator, but there were a few annoying problems. This version fixes the problems that I found in my use.

Fixes:
1. The colors did not stick from startup to startup in the original version...
2. The original consumed a lot of resources, so I set a timer so that it only calculated the boxes during times that matter to the user. This cuts down on the calculations and memory use. You can set the start/stop time to what you want.

R1: Trader Contrax was having problems with autoscaling in his setup. He found what needed to be changed (Thx). Most people will not notice a difference so I edited the indie, left the name the same and just updated the file.

Several traders are having 'freezing' problems. This indie is a resource hog. You want to run as little history as possible with Congestion Box. One trick that I use is to have a transparent chart on the same panel as my main chart. Let's say you have a 5min chart. Add a second 5min chart to the same panel, transparent candles, wicks, etc, with 1 day history. The Congestion Box uses the 1 day chart as its input. You can have several instances of charts on the same panel.. A great NT attribute.

R2: Member jabeztrading, the original developer of the indicator, fixed the issue with the button recurring. This fix also fixed the resource problem. Excellent work!!!

Please let me know if you find any other issues.
Thanks
Bob

CongestionBoxLite 5 *
Hello Traders, attached is the CongestionBox indie that has been put on a diet. The indie finds congestive candle patterns and then paints the box when there is a breakout (2 candles to confirm). The box has a line that represents the VPOC of the box. I find that this indie, in concert with an MA of your choice works very well to find and keep you in a trend.

A few years ago, I downloaded the CongestionBox indie as submitted by creator jabeztrading. The indie had memory building and slow response issues. The bandaids that I applied at the time were a help so I re-released it. I have learned a few things along the way, and made some dramatic improvements wrt memory and responsiveness. On my system, a refresh of the old indie took 13seconds. This one is about 1 second.

Note to users... I have started cutting down the system resource requirements on many of my indicators that do not need a lot of historical data. On these indies, they calculate only what is on the screen. If you want to scroll back, just hit f5 to re-populate the indicator. It's not a huge savings, but every tick counts

Trade Well...
Bob

CongestionBoxOne 5 *
A few traders have asked if the CongestionBox could be altered to trigger with a breakout of one candle. I did some work and here is a solution that I believe works well with one candle breakout. One candle means there may be some false breakouts depending on your candle size....

As always, trade well....
Bob

As with other recent indies, this only calculates and displays what is on the display. If you scroll left, hit f5 to repopulate

After suggestions from a few traders, I added some filtering to remove some of the 'counter trend' boxes. Included in this zip is an additional CongestionBox indie called CongestionBoxFilter. This one uses an EMA and HMA. A Bullish breakout candle will paint if the breakout candle is above both and slope of the HMA is up. The breakout candle can be painted for highlight and or an arrow below bull candle or above bear candle.

Have fun...
Bob

R2 (2/11/2021): I don't use Bloodhound or other automated tools, but one user found that calculations limited to what is on screen causes a problem with Bloodhound... I found the issue and it is an easy fix. In the zip are two indicators. CongestionBoxOne is the original that only calculates what is on the screen and CongestionBoxOneFull calculates the entire history and should work with Bloodhound. I will add a new version of all of the indicators that I have posted that have the calculation limiter in a similar manner.

Congress in Session
This Tradestation Show Me tells you days that Congress is in session. Contains data from Dec 1997 - Oct 26, 2012.

You may find this useful for the stock market, since there have been a few studies that show correlation between when Congress is in session and stock market performance (Congress in session tends to mean stocks go down).

Version 1.0

ConnectionMonitor for NT7 5 *
This Strategy does not trade, but instead does three things:
- Checks that your PC clock is accurate
- Alerts you if the delay in your receipt of exhange data exceeds a threshold
- Optionally ping a remote IP host and alert you or get flat if the host is unreachable.

This has been tested on Zen-Fire and IQFeed data.

Version 2.32. NT7b17 compile. Feedback welcome!

Connors RSI (amaConnorsRSI) 5 *
Version 1.0 March 6, 2017

Created by Larry Connors, this indicator is a composite of three separate components. Two of the three components utilize the Relative Strength Index (RSI) calculations developed by Welles Wilder in the 1970’s, and the third component ranks the most recent price change on a scale of 0 to 100.

In effect, the three components combine to form a momentum oscillator. The output value between 0 and 100 then identifies short-term overbought and oversold conditions.
