Options for the Pivot indicators: Floor pivots, pivot range, midpivots, floor pivots wide, Jackson Zones, Fibonacci pivots, Camarilla pivots, VWAP of the prior session.
Chart settings: Please set the right side margin under chart properties to 200 to allow for correct display of the labels. The colors are better adapted to dark chart backgrounds.
Session templates: The indicators require the use of a correct session template for the instrument shown on the chart. With an ETH template only ETH pivots can be displayed. For displaying RTH pivots, it is recommend to use a multi-session template that divides the day into the night session, regular session and after-session.
Use of daily data on intraday charts: The 3 pivot indicators are designed to load daily data, if the option for Settlement/Close is set to “Daily Bars”. This the data used by the indicator:
"Calculate from session" = "DailyBars": Pivots are entirely calculated from daily data.
"Calculate from session" = "ETH" & "Settlement/Close" = "DailyBars": High and low are taken from the full intraday sessions. The close or settlement price is taken from daily data.
"Calculate from session" = "RTH" & "Settlement/Close" = "DailyBars": High and low are taken from the regular intraday sessions. The close or settlement price is taken from daily data.
"Calculate from session" = "ETH" & "Settlement/Close" = "Intraday Close": High and low are taken from the full intraday sessions. The close is the last price traded for the full session.
"Calculate from session" = "RTH" & "Settlement/Close" = "Intraday Close": High and low are taken from the regular intraday sessions. The close is the last price traded for the regular session.
Auto setting for the 3 pivot indicators: The Auto setting will preselect ETH for FOREX and all CME currency futures, but preselect RTH for all other instruments.
VWAP: The VWAP of the prior day is always calculated from intraday data. Depending on the chart resolution it can be a few ticks off the correct value.
GLOBEX holiday sessions with settlement next day: The indicator is preconfigured for Globex holiday sessions without settlement for trade date next day or later. These trade dates are President’s Day, Martin-Luther-King Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labour Day and Thanksgiving. The indicators will display double day sessions for these days for all GLOBEX and NYMEX traded instruments.
Update Jan 23 2011: Globex Holiday Calendar for 2011. Holiday sessions will only be applied to Globex instruments. Price markers - only available for zone width 0 - are now correctly formatted for US interest rate futures and FOREX.
Update June 5, 2011: New signature for GetNextBeginEnd() implemented.
Update June 21, 2011: The indicator now works with half-pip FOREX feeds. Indicator dialogue box improved.
Update July 20, 2011: Serialization of the plots changed.
Update September 13, 2011: Zones were not plotted correctly, when indicator was set to "UserDefinedValues".
Update December 12, 2011: Weekly and monthly pivots added. Levels R5, S5 added. Some labels changed. Label size is now adjustable. Globex Holiday Calendar for 2012 added.
Update July 26, 2012: Weekly and monthly pivot zones could be displayed for incomplete periods in DailyBars mode. Indicators now check whether the data for the prior week / prior month is complete.
Update December 13, 2013: Indicators entirely redesigned. Holiday calendar added for 2014.
Update December 28, 2014: Holiday calendar added for 2015. Price markers improved for US interest rate futures.

gbPriceActionSwing Ver 1.1, TraderGB, March 23, 2021
This is a modified version of PriceActionSwing indicator that includes the Keltner Minor Trend Rule.
The minor trend turns:
(1) UP when price moves above its most recent high and stays UP until price moves below its most recent low, when it is considered to have turned DOWN.
(2) DOWN when price moves below its most recent low and stays DOWN until price moves above its most recent high, when it is considered to have turned UP.
Keltner defines an upward trend by the failure to make lower lows and a downward trend by the failure to make higher highs.
General Usage:
1) When the trend is up (background=green), you'll want to trade long on the up swings of the up trend (the Trend is Up and the Swing of the up trend is Up).
2) When the trend is down (background=red), you'll want to trade short on the down swings of the down trend (the Trend is Down and the Swing of the down trend is Down)
Suggestion Application - have three charts:
(1) Long-Term Chart: Used to get an idea of the long term trend.
(2) Intermediate-Term Chart: Used to detect the swing points turning in the same direction as the trend.
(3) Short-Term Chart: Used for entry/exit and trade management in the same direction of the trend and swing.
The screenshot shows a 30-tick range bar chart with the indicator parameters: SwingType=Standard and SwingSize=20.
The large green arrow shows the trend direction being up. The smaller green arrows show the "up swings" within the "up trend".
There are seven up swings in the ES of roughly 59, 82, 85, 102, 47, 58 and 53 points.
Looking within the up swings, there are many opportunities to get long using a lower timeframe chart.
References:
How to Make Money in Commodities, Chester W. Keltner, Keltner Statistical Services, 1960 (pages 52-54, 61-64).
The line chart on the top of page 61 clearly illustrates this rule.
Updates: Ver 1.1, 3/23/2021
1) Added independed AddOn gbPriceActionSwingBaseMethods. Some users were having issues with an existing version of PriceActionSwingBaseMethods that was different from the version that this indicator is based on.

The below study plots user defined, manual input price levels. Typical use is with /CL or /6E. However it can be modified for any product/ price.
Other than typical price levels (example /CL) of 00.00, 00.25, 00.50, 00.75 it won't need much day to day modification (or load several copies of the study and comment out (# hashtag) lines you don't need.) Keep in mind when using several copies of this study each will need a unique name.
The closing price (settlement), yesterday high and low will need to be manually entered each day. Personally I like this feature because it should be done at the beginning of each trading day (get your head in it) regardless, at least if not on paper/ trading journal.

Note: If you find bugs, have feature requests, or anything else, post in THIS thread.
This is a simple indicator, that plots the prior day's HIGH/LOW, and shows lines that have not yet been broken. Highs/Lows are based on your session template.
The lines are PERSISTENT, and will remain on-chart until they are broken.
You can either remove broken lines completely, or show WHERE the line was broken with the use of the User Input called "Remove Touched Lines Completely." The image shows this.
This indicator will function OnEachTic if desired, or OnBarClose.
Other inputs should be self-explanatory.
NOTE: Installing this indicator will create a folder called "BTMM," that's where the indicator will be.
Updated to RC1 Sep 2016: Do not delete or comment out !BarsArray[0].IsIntraday since this is a safety check to make sure you do not use on a >= Daily chart.
Rather, change to !BarsArray[0].BarsType.IsIntraday or download this new update.
Will work on Renko bars
* Plots prior Open, High, Low & Close.
* Daily, Weekly & Monthly all in one (AIO).
* Uses minute data behind Renko charts to plot accurate levels.
* Has a button you can use to show/hide the plot.
So you can plot several indicators per chart and hide them when not needed
* Can use solid lines.
Update April 2016:
Minor code update to prevent plotting/rendering issues.
Remember this is for Beta, so please PM me for bugs or fixes.

Being able to see large orders on the chart helps me enormously and can also be used to give bias.
My indicator looks for three types of events:
Large individual buys or sells (Pro orders)
Large groups of orders at any price (Block orders)
Bars with a high proportion of low size orders (Amateur orders)
In order to create a threshold above which to print the markers I use some stats functions from the Math.NET library so if you want to use my indicator you will need to add the DLL and a reference to it of course. I'm not a stats guy so I guessed at a mix of standard deviations and percentile for the thresholds and I've left these internal to the code. Different instruments respond very differently to these settings. Personally I just looked for settings that didn't flood the screen with markers yet gave enough to be of use - very subjective.
[For minute bar users (I use BetterRenko) this does NOT print the markers at the actual price level - it prints in the middle of the bar (OnBarClose) - not something relevant to me so I probably wouldn't be that keen to change it.]
[Apologies to the expert coders here - I have used the Draw function for these markers - in most of my other stuff I use plots, but I just couldn't get a good look with the standard plots.]
My own experience is I couldn't make any sense of the Amateur orders and so I switch them off. The Pro orders really work for me and I add in the Block orders for good measure.
I use these in various ways which I intend to expand on, but generally use them to establish levels that the pros are working at. Bottom line - when you see a load of these markers together - something is brewing!
Oh and I have exposed series for both Pro bars (0, 1, 2, 3 [+/-] for various types) and an overall bias (+1/-1) which is based either off the sign of the order or the price movement - for me I use the price movement e.g. a large sell that causes price to go up is often a better clue than a buy that does the same.

This is the default thinkorswim VolumeProfile & TPOProfile studies combined and modified so that the profile lines (high/low, value area) are projected on the following day instead of the current day. There are also additional options to paint bars below and above the value area, fib extensions from the value area and a label with the current price.
*By default the number of profiles is set to 2, so only the previous profile will show. Change this to show more days.
*V2: Added a "On Expansion Value Area" option to plot the lines (POC, VA, etc.) just on the right expansion area.

This indicator plots the maximum high or minimum low of a forming Range Bar. The plots disappear as soon as a new bar forms or the current bar has filled its required range.
Nov 5th: have fixed coding problem so that it will no longer function when you change to other chart formats. Right now is good for Range Bar and RangeAlt. If someone tells me the coding for the RangeNoGap I can add that in.
June 30th, 2011 01:44 AM Southsea Thanks for the great indicator! I am having a problem, though. I can't get the price markers to work. I set price mar
kers on "true" and they do not appear. Thoughts? I would be REALLY helpful to have price markers. Thanks again for t
he fabulous indicator! SS

April 28th, 2015 08:20 PM Twar Is it possible to modify this so i only can get close rate last bar / candle?
I dont need anythiong else, this would have been perfect to See previous close strike much easier.
January 6th, 2015 10:19 PM dboy I was actually searching for this type of script. Had a small issue with some of the code plots but will work them out.
