This is a slight modification to the original MACD BB Lines indicator.
The defaults are the same.
The changes I made were:
Increase the dot size
Swapped the upper band and lower band colors (upper is now blue & lower is red), Removed the white "background" dot that was displaying behind the MACDBBLine dot.
UPDATED APRIL 10, 2010 - ADDED A "MID-LINE" between the upper BBband and lower BBband
This works in NT6.5
This has not been tested in NT7.0
The MACDBBLines indicator is built from a standard MACD indicator with Bollinger Bands added to the signal line. The MACD values are shown as dots. This indicator is typically used to generate with-trend entries when the upper or lower Bollinger Band is violated.
Minor trend: The minorlower timeframe trend is up when the MACD is rising. It is down when the MACD is falling.
Major trend: The higher timeframe trend may be taken from the MACD itself. An major uptrend is signaled when MACD > 0, while MACD < 0 stands for a major downtrend.
Public Properties: The indicator comes with a few public Series<double> that can be accessed via other indicators or automated strategies. These will also be shown in the strategy builder. The series "Trend" may be used to detect the minor trend. "Trend" will show the value +2 when the MACD is rising and above the upper Bollinger Band, +1 when it is rising and below the upper Bollinger Band, -1 when it is falling and above the lower Bollinger Band, -2 when it is falling and below the lower Bollinger Band. You will further find two Series<double> "LongSignal" and "ShortSignal". "LongSignal" will return +2 for an upper band violation in a major uptrend (strong signal), +1 for an upper band violation in a major downtrend (weak signal) and 0 for no signal. Accordingly, "ShortSignal" will return +2 for a lower band violation in a major downtrend (strong signal), +1 for an lower band violation in a major uptrend (weak signal) and 0 for no signal.
Market Analyzer Column: The indicator comes with two separate market analyzer columns. The first column will simply indicate the trend and return values based on rising and falling MACD above or below the Bollinger Bands as described above. The second column will return entry signals, where +2 stand for a strong long signal, + 1 for a weak long signal, 0, for no signal, -1 for a weak short signal and - 2 for a strong short signal. For the market analyzer I have squeezed long and short signals into a single column, as there is little space on a market analyzer. For the Series<double> objects, I have separated the LongSignal and ShortSignal series, as they are designed to return positive values or 0 for no signal only. Please pay attention to the difference.
Paint Bars: The indicator comes with paint bars that reflect the minor trend. The colors are similar to the colors for the MACDBB dots, but you may differentiate between upcloses and downcloses.
Sound Alerts: The indicator comes with sound alerts that will be triggered when the upper or lower band is violated, or when the major trend changes.
This is the conversion of the NinjaTrader 7 "Momentum BB Lines" indicator to MultiCharts.
According to FatTails, the developer of the NinjaTrader indicator:
Quoting
The Momentum BB Lines is an indicator, which is similar to the MACD BB Lines. However, it is not based on the MACD, but on a smoothed, balanced momentum.
The balanced momentum is obtained, when the input value one period ago is replaced with a triangular momentum. This avoids that wide ranging bars which drop out of the momentum calculation have an impact on the momentum line.
The balanced momentum is exponentially smoothed with a selectable smoothing period. The BB Lines are Bollinger Bands, which use the same period for the standard deviation as is used for the balanced momentum before smoothing. The Bollinger Bands are applied to the smoothed momentum.
Different colors can be selected for a rising and falling smoothed momentum and for dots outside and inside the Bollinger Bands.
Since the Momentum BB Lines indicator uses multiple colors, I've chosen to hard code these in the indicator to prevent cluttering of the MultiCharts status line. Changing the code to different colors is quite easy, and here you can find a list of RGB colors to use.
This indicator also includes the Momentum Modified indicator that was included in the original NinjaTrader indicator.
If you like this indicator, please go over to this page and give the original author of this indicator (FatTails) a thanks.

The indicator has an option to plot paint bars showing whether the smoothed momentum is sloping up or down and whether it is outside or inside the Bollinger Bands.
I extended the base RSqueeze indicator with the addition of the TTMS squeeze style. All of the original squeeze styles (Bollinger, PBF, CounterTrend) are still available in the "SqueezeStyle" drop down menu.
Exported using NinjaTrader 7.0.1000.21
Change Log (2-16-2014): RSqueezeV2
Addressed issues / concerns raised by Zondor in his comment.
1. Fixed the existing bug in the histogram plot color when CalculateOnBarClose is set equal to FALSE.
2. Cleaned up the code to improve efficiency.
3. Replaced RGaussianFilter() with anaGaussianFilter() to address a rounding error issue in the PBF and CounterTrend squeeze types.
4. Replaced TTMS squeeze code with call to anaSqueeze().
Change Log 10-20-2015 - Added Sound Alerts for Squeeze Breakouts.
This version 2 requires NinjaTrader 7 or higher. It will not work with Ninja Trader 6.5.
Once imported into NinjaTrader, the New Indicator Name is RSqueezeV2
The Traders Dynamic Index is a trend following momentum indicator based on the RSI. It was developed and presented by Dean Malone. The Traders Dynamic Index comes with the following ingredients
- the Priceline, which is a SMA(2) of RSI(13)
- the Signalline, which is a SMA(7) of RSI (13)
- the Midband, which is a SMA(34) of RSI (13)
- BollingerBands around the SMA(34) using 1.62 StdDev
Combine some of the following rules to trade:
- go long, if Priceline > 50
- go short if Priceline < 50
- consider an exit, if Priceline is above 68 or below 32
- go long if Priceline > Signalline
- go short if Priceline < Signalline
- exit if Priceline crosses Signalline
- trendfilter long, when Priceline > Midband
- trendfilter short, when Priceline < Midband
- add to long, when Priceline > BollingerBand.Upper
- add to short, when Priceline < BollingerBand.Lower
Detailed rules how to use the Traders Dynamic Index have been published by Dean Malone within the framework of the E.A.S.Y. trading method.
Update March 22, 2014: Overbought and oversold lines added.

Nice Indicator - but the mathematics is a little bit tricky to understand!
