This indicator can only be used for Range Charts with MultiCharts.
It indicates the possible location of the close of the current bar, and the open of the next. Either in case of up move or down move. So it draws 4 lines all together.
Let's take the example of a 8-range chart (8-point in MultiCharts' terminology).
Let L and H be the currentLow and the currentHigh of the bar under formation.
If the price moves up and reaches L + 9 ticks, the current bar will be closed at L + 8 ticks, and the next bar will open at L + 9 ticks.
If the price moves down and reaches H - 9 ticks, the current bar will be closed at H - 8 ticks, and the next bar will open at H - 9 ticks.
So, when a bar is under formation, the indicator draws 2 little dotted lines above the bar, at L+8 and L+9, as well as 2 little dotted lines below the bar, at H-8 and H-9. They correspond to the possible levels of the close of the current bar, and the open of the next, either in the case of an up move, or in the case of a down move.
It has to be underlined that, by definition of a range chart, these positions are not final. If the current H or the current L of the bar under formation moves, the dotted lines will move also.
However, as soon as current H-L of the current bar equals 8 ticks, we know for sure the position of the 4 above-mentioned open and close, and the line becomes solid.

NOTE: Updated 3/11/2010 -- There were a few issues with currencies that have been corrected. Also additional text info has been added. See my blog for details and for NT7 version as well. The NT65 version has been updated here.
Another range bar range thingy (great minds work alike )...
This indicator is for range charts only (seems to work on any flavor or range bars too). It will draw a box around the current candle that indicates how much further a bar would have to move before the range is exhausted and new bar begins to paint.
This box is dynamic in that it adjusts in height based on the current size of the candle. In this way it is always indicating the maximum extent possible for the current candle.
It will also highlight this box using colors depending on how close the candle size is the maximum. Optionally, this indicator can also print the high and low price of the box's range just above and below the box itself.
I'll admit this may be more eye candy than anything else but I thought I'd offer it up anyway.

Only to be used with minute or daily charts.
The relative ranges indicator measures the range of a fixed period bar against the average range over the same period during the preceding n days. The version which can be downloaded here allows for two different comparisons:
All_Days: Today's ranges are compared to the average ranges of the N preceding business days. The default value is N = 40. With the setting "All_Days" the indicator requires the use of proper session templates which match the trading day of the instrument traded. Session templates that cut the week into arbitrary sessions - such as the session template 24/7 - cannot be handled by the indicator and will trigger an error message.
Day_Of_Week: Today's ranges are compared to the average ranges calculated for the same day of the week over the N preceeding weeks. The default value is N = 8. With the setting "Day_Of_Week", all session templates can be handled.
Holidays: Holidays as selected via the indicator dialogue box are excluded from all calculations.
Daylight savings schedules: The indicator automatically adjusts to different daylight savings zones.
The histogram shows the relative ranges for the selected period of the day. For example on the chart today's highest relative range occured at 5:30 AM EST in the morning, just when the low of from Dec. 24 was taken out. Compared to the last 40 business days, the cumulated average of the relative ranges runs at 88%, whereas it runs at 87% when compared to a normal Monday. The low volatility is expected between Christmas and New Year's Eve.
Average range bars - between 80% and 120% of normal ranges - are shown as white bars. If the relative range exceeds 120% the histogram color is green, below 80% it is red. The colors can be selected by the user.
* Includes option to start at a fixed date. Option to start from high or low of this date.
Known limitations:
* Will only work on time-based or EOD bars.
* Intra-day session times may differ between symbols so please take this into account.
* Will not currently use fixed date intra-day.
* Smoothed function is not available on fixed date.
(These may be available at a later date).
* I have opted not to multiply the Dorsey formula by 100. He states the results are easier to read but I do not think they reflect the true ratio.
I have tried to test all scenarios but let me know if you find a bug.
This bar type creates a new bar when price reverses by a pre-defined amount of ticks from the high/low of the bar. As soon as a new bar is created and price moves at least the amount of pre-defined ticks in one direction, the bar again, closes after a reversal of pre-defined ticks.
I personally prefer to have the High and Low prices printed on the chart upon completion of a Yellow Inside bar. The price labels will help my placing a pair of breakout trades.
NEW! Updated on March 1 because of run time errors in NT7B10. Cleaned up the code in the OnMarketDepth method, and removed list row creation from Plot method.
The Histogram Width Factor gives you full control of that width, and is a double, not an integer. For the ES you might want to go as low as 0.15. Also note that the bar opacity is on a scale of 0 to 255.
The histogram will auto scale according to the width of the chart, to always leave some space to the left of the longest histogram bar regardless of your Histogram Width Factor setting.
You can also select the number of rows to display with MaxRows, under Level II Settings. For most instruments, you can get a maximum of ten levels of bid and ask.
Thanks to John Thom for the original version and to RJay for the updated version. All I did was make it run in NT7. I am a strong advocate of migrating to NT7 ASAP.

This is an indicator that plots pivots for a n-day rolling period. It has similar features as the Daily Pivots indicator from the Session Pivots family. The default setting for the lookback period is 3 days. The midline is identical with the 50% Balance Point Indicator.
Options: Floor pivots, pivot range, midpivots, floor pivots wide, Jackson Zones, Fibonacci pivots, Camarilla pivots, VWAP of the rolling period .
Chart settings: Please set the right side margin under chart properties to 200 to allow for correct display of the labels. The colors are 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 retracements and expansions can be only calculated from the full session high and low. If you want to calculate retracements and expansions from the regular session, it is recommended 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 rolling pivot indicator is designed to load daily data, if the option for "Calculate from session" 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: 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 rolling period 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 indicators are 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 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 December 17, 2011: Levels R5, S5 and pivot range added. Label size is now adjustable. Globex Holiday Calendar for 2012 added.
Update July 7, 2012: Shading for Jackson Zones added.
Update December 15, 2013: Indicator entirely redesigned. Holiday calendar added for 2014.
Update December 28, 2014: Holiday calendar added for 2015. Price markers improved for US interest rate futures.
