This indie looks at yesterdays High and Low and todays High and Low. It paints yesterdays High and Low on todays chart, as well as the mid and RMS values of yesterdays High and Low. The RMS values are estimated as 70.7% and 29.3% for a sine wave. It also paints todays High and Low. These values can be interesting turning points. All levels are labeled in the right side margin (I recommend a margin of 100). I posted a similar indie in NT7 called Pivots Plus that was very popular . This one does not have the pivots included, you can add that to the chart. This one does have a button to hide the indie if you want to declutter your chart.
Here is the wiki definition of RMS...
In mathematics and its applications, the root mean square (RMS or rms) is defined as the square root of the mean square (the arithmetic mean of the squares of a set of numbers).[1] The RMS is also known as the quadratic mean[2][3] and is a particular case of the generalized mean with exponent 2. RMS can also be defined for a continuously varying function in terms of an integral of the squares of the instantaneous values during a cycle.
The Hourly Pivots indicator applies the calculation used for daily floor pivots to intraday time frames. The indicator displays pivots for any selectable period of N minutes. All pivots are calculated from the high, low and close of the prior N-minute period. The pivots can be displayed as floor pivots, wide pivots or Fibonacci pivots. The indicator further plots the pivot range, which is a value area derived from the prior N-minute period.
The default setting of the indicator is 60 minutes. With default settings the indicator will display hourly pivots including the Main Pivot PP, Central Pivot CP, Directional Pivot DP, Pivot Range, R1, R2, R3, R4 S1, S2, S3 and S4. The first period always starts with the daily session break. Depending on the period selected, the last period of the session may terminate before completion. It will not carry over to the first period of the next session.
Pivot range: The pivot range is the range between CP and DP. It is a symmetrical range around the main pivot PP.
Prior high, low and close: The indicator also displays the high, low and close for the prior N-minute period. These levels often act as support or resistance for the consecutive N-minute period.
Pivot formulas:
All options: H = prior day high, L = prior day low, C = prior day close, X = H - L
Main Pivot: P = (H+L+C)/3
Central Pivot: CP = (H+L)/2
Directional Pivot: DP = 2*P - CP
Floor Pivots: P = (H+L+C)/3, R1 = 2*P - L, S1 = 2*P - H, R2 = P + X, S2 = P - X, R3 = R1 + X, S3 = S1 - X, R4 = R3 + (P-L), S4 = S3 - (H-P)
Wide Pivots: P = (H+L+C)/3, R1 = 2*P - L, S1 = 2*P - H, R2 = P + X, S2 = P - X, R3 = R2 + X, S3 = S2 - X, R4 = R3 + X, S4 = S3 - X
Fibonacci Pivots: R1 = P + 0.382*X, S1 = P - 0.382*X, R2 = P + 0.618*X, S2 = P - 0.618*X, R3 = P + X, S3 = P - X, R4 = P + 1.382*X, S4 = P - 1.382*X
Indicators will only run on NT 7.0.1000.5 or later.
This is a family of 3 indicators to display fibonacci retracements and expansions calculated from the high and the low of the prior day, the prior week and the prior month. High and low can be taken from daily data or from intraday data. When taken from daily data, the order of the retracements may be inverted, when high and low were made on the same day.
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 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.
ETH: If you set the indicator to ETH, the retracements will be calculated from the high and the low of the full trading day. To avoid inverted levels best calculate all fibonacci lines from intraday data.
RTH: Please use a multi-session template. The retracements will be calculated from the selected RTH session. If the daily data supplied by your data supplier is regular session data, no multi-session template is required and you can display retracements and expansions calculated from the regular high and low by setting the indicator to "DailyBars".
Auto setting for the 3 indicators: The Auto setting will preselect ETH for FOREX and all CME currency futures, but preselect RTH for all other instruments.
Fibonacci Levels: The numerical values for the Fibonacci levels can be individually selected. If you need more than five retracement and expansion levels, you can add the indicator to your chart several times. If you do not wish to display some lines, please set the value for the Fibonacci ratio for these lines to zero, and the lines will not be plotted.
Display Options: Prior day's close, fibonacci retracements and fibonacci expansions can be switched on and off separately. The indicator further allows to display all plots for the prior days with or without labels. The label font size can be selected.
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 use double day sessions for these days for all GLOBEX and NYMEX traded instruments.
Update December 15, 2013: Weekly and monthly indicators added. Daily indicator entirely recoded. Plots can now be displayed for several days. Holiday calendar added for 2014.
Update January 19, 2014: The ratios for the fib levels are now user selectable.
Update December 29, 2014: Holiday calendar added for 2015. Price markers improved for US interest rate futures.
This is a simple indicator, which detects new highs and lows. The highs and lows can be shown both as paintbars or as diamonds.
The definition of a new high can be either based on the bar high or the bar close. A new high based on the bar high is the highest high over the lookback period. A new high based on the bar close is the highest close over the lookback period. The same logic is applied to new lows, which can also be calculated from the bar lows or the bar closes.
With default settings the bar detects new 89-bar highs and lows.
The indicator works on both candlesticks and OHLC bars.
Update August 10, 2013: New highs and lows can be either based on high/low or on the close of the current bar. Highs and lows can be either shown as paintbars or as diamonds. Efficiency of algorithm improved.
This Indicator is been made after i have seen the BrooksBars Indicator from Photog53. - (lot of Thanks to him !!!) It counts the Highs and Lows and i´ve got a shadow inclued. I have wrote a description in German so that a professional programmer made the job for me. After much interests in a Threat here in the Forum, i decieded to share it to Elite Members. The most of you speak englisch, so i´ve tried to translate the description, hope you can understand...it was not so easy.... so i ask for a little lenient. :-)
unfortunately the indicator count or paint only after you have start it in the chart, it don´t look back. Maybe some guys could modify this. the shadow-color and the count text (H1/L1) is also not changeable.
i am pleased if it is a help for anyone. i´ve got many benefits here by big mike so its fine if i could give something back to you.
please don´t ask me about the code, but if someone have question about the idea/definition or about the use of the indicator, i am pleased to get message. I use it very helpful in my private trading
This study will show pivot points on a chart using the standard tradestation pivot logic. It will show when there has been a Higher Low or Lower High. A filter can also be applied to print only the pivots that form in the direction of the surrent trend.
This is a simple modification of NT's Swing indicator. This ind. does Not fill in the bars between the bar of the High/Low point and the bar on which it was detected (as specified by the Strength input). The purpose is so you can quickly see which bar the Hi/Lo point was detected on(signal was given).
I could not find, does anyone have this indicator for NT8?
Thanks.

I am Nicki. This is the indicator I have been looking forever...... ^^
Is there possible to get Ninja Trader 8 version?
Thank you in advance!
Nicki,
February 11th, 2018 08:08 AM reach4thelasers This indicator is absolutely useless. This is not how Al Brooks counts highs and lows. Not even close to it.
January 29th, 2015 10:06 AM Hood Is this indicator for Ninjatrader? I can't see any mention of what platform this is for.
