The squeeze takes advantage of quiet periods in the market when the volatility has decreased significantly and the market is building up energy for its next major move higher or lower. Period of low volatility are identified as the times when the bands "move closer together". How do we know that the current narrowness is really narrow enough to qualify as low volatility? By adding Keltner Channels and momentum index oscillator as per mentioned in John Carter's book Mastering the Trade.
While Bollinger Bands expand and contract as the markets alter between periods of high and low volatility, the Keltner Channels stay in more of a steady range. The momentum index oscillator is used to estimate the direction.
How does this Setup work?
The quite period is identified whent he Bollinger Bands narrow in width to the point that they are actually trading inside of the Keltner Channels. This marks a period of reduced volatility and signals that the market is taking a significant breather, building up steam for its next move. The trade signal occurs when the Bollinger Bands then move back outside the Keltner Channels. Use 12 period momentum index oscillator to determine whether to go long or short. If the oscillator is above 0 when this happens, GO LONG; if it id below 0 then GO SHORT.
Usually the moves are explosive when the BB Width is lowest over past 6 months which comes to across 126 days and hence we need more than 126 price data bars. Also choose BBWidth < 0.05 for better results in the strategy for daily data.
Strategy includes trailing stop and stop loss as variables so you can easily backtest as well as use optimizer.

This is an improved version of the drive indicator.
The indicator detects both volatility and momentum and shows the relationsship between bullish momentum or bearish momentum and volatility.
Volatility is measured via the absolute value of the indicator. You will notice, how it moves up during the day session and moves down during the night session.
Momentum is measured as the difference between the two lines. Positive momentum is shown as green and negative momentum is shown as red. The momentum is measured via the enhanced momentum indicator, which is included.
The lines are smoothed with a Hull moving average for display.
TicksPerTimeFrame was written by Mike Winfrey 3/15/2012
The intent of this indicator is to count the number of ticks in a non-tick based bar. So, placing this indicator on a 5 minute chart will count the number of ticks during that bar and display it as a histogram in it's own panel. There is also a plot representing the average number of ticks over a period that is specified in a parameter. You also have choice of how you count the ticks. The default is to count every tick but can be changed to count the number of times price actually changes.
This indicator works on historic as well as live data.
Again, this indicator can be used on any bartype.
Actually I have no idea if this information is useful at all. I think it might be to help identify areas where activity might indicate momentum.
Note: @TimeTrade mentioned that this indicator only gives wrong results. So, I did some research to figure out why he said that. I contacted him and got his point of view then I compared the tick count in his t4tBarCalc01 indicator with my TicksPerTimeFrame indicator and noticed a discrepancy on some bars by a few ticks. I physically counted the ticks on those bars where there was a discrepancy and found that my indicator counts correctly.

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.
The Traders Dynamic Index (TDI) 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 plots
- 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)
- Bollinger Bands around the SMA(34) using a standard deviation multiplier of 1.62
The following combinations may be considered as trade rules:
- 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 > upper Bollinger Band
- add to short, when Priceline < lower Bollinger Band

The True Strength Index was developed by William Blau and published in his book "Momentum, Direction and Divergence". This version of the TSI is an enhanced version of the NinjaTrader default indicator. It comes with the following improvements:
Momentum period: The original version of the indicator uses the price difference between the current and the prior close, which is the 1-period momentum. The updated version of the indicator also allows for selecting a momentum period greater than 1.
Triple Smoothing: The standard version of the indicator comes with double smoothing for momentum and absolute momentum. William Blau himself also used triple smoothing, This indicator lets you choose between double and triple smoothing. If you set the third smoothing period to 1, you will get double smoothing, and the indicator will display identical results with the NinjaTrader default indicator.
Smoothing with different moving averages: William Blau has suggested to use the EMA for double or triple smoothing. This indicator offers you a selection of more than 30 different moving averages for the smoothing. The default is set to EMA in line with the original indicator.
Signal Line: I have added a signal line for timing entries and exits. The signal line is obtained by smoothing the TSI with one of the selectable moving averages, similar to the signal line of the MACD. The default period for the signal line is 7.
Histogram: The indicator has an option to plot a histogram, which shows the difference between TSI and signal line.
Trend definition: The indicator exposes the current trend via an IntSeries. The trend can be determined based on the TSI (rising & not oversold, falling & not overbought, neutral), the signal line (rising & not oversold, falling & not overbought, neutral)) or the TSI / signal line crosses. All trend definitions are not straightforward, but require a higher close to switch to an uptrend, or a lower close to switch to a downtrend. Moreover the DSM / signal line cross will only show an uptrend, when not oversold and a downtrend when not overbought.
Paint bars: The paintbars can be used to plot the trend information. The trend states are uptrend, downtrend and neutral trend as explained above. It is possible to apply the indicator to the price panel and unselect the indicator plots. This allows to use the indicator as a "paintbar only" indicator.
Sound alerts: The indicator comes with sound alerts which are triggered when the trend changes. The sound files are included with the zip file and should be manually copied into the directory Documents -> program files (x86) -> NinajTrader 7 -> sounds.
Update March 13, 2014: Trend filter, paint bars, sound alerts and histogram added.
Update November 16, 2015: Momentum period added. Option added to select from different moving averages.
Note: The parameter structure of the indicator was changed. In case that you have used the prior version of the anaTSI as input series for other indicators or strategies, these indicators or strategies will only work, if you change the syntax of the indicator call to conform with the new parameter structure.
Took a few minutes to improve the function and performance of this "stock" NinjatraderŽ indicator. This should give the same results as the NinjatraderŽ version but is a lot more efficient and has multicolor plotting. Aside from that there is nothing new here.

October 31st, 2019 12:30 AM GwaiZaiTrader Thanks this indicator is great!!! I am trying to switch to NT8 and attempted to convert it with the methods outlined her
e and no errors were given. I imported it to NT8. No errors or logs were given during Ninjascript import, but the indica
tor cannot be found.

November 25th, 2014 07:14 AM CelticTiger Excellent!!
September 10th, 2018 01:19 AM marsel Hallo, do you have NT8 version for this TSI ?
Thank you
April 1st, 2016 09:56 PM usdivers I concur with Macguy, works great for confirming ES moves on the 5000 volume. Trued lower volume charts, however 5000 se
ems just about right, with lot less market noise.
February 25th, 2016 03:22 PM no3putts Thank you!
January 13th, 2016 03:36 PM macguy This is quite impressive on my $ES_F 5,000 volume charts. Can't thank you enough.
December 7th, 2015 04:06 PM gringa I just put this on a chart with DavesFibber, very clear signals ... thanks!
