Simply totals the seconds required to draw a bar. Designed to be used with non-time based bars. Includes 2 horizontal reference lines, for example can have the 1st line represent 60 seconds (1 minute) and 2nd line set to 180 seconds (3 minute). Bars change to red if the number of seconds exceeds your desired Maxsec threshold, for example turns bars red if 120 seconds (2 minutes) is exceeded. Includes ability to draw a SMA of the time as well that defaults to a 5 period.
Really simple indicator that highlights the specified time window on the chart. Useful for differentiating RTH sessions from ETH sessions. Just add the indicator to your chart, set the time window (in your local time) and highlight color.
I know I have seen an indicator like this before on BMT, but I was asked to create this by someone recently so I figured I would post it for the rest of BMT. This indicator is meant for not time based bar types such as Renko or Range. It will report the average time of the bars over the last period in Sec. It will also present the time of the current bar for comparison. If the Sec are less than the alarm limit, it will paint that bar Green and a gray strip into the primary chart.
Summary:
Red Trace: Average time in Bars/Sec over period
Light Blue: Time of current bar in seconds
Green/Gray Strip: Alarm limit reached
This colors 3 different time zones. It allows for timezones that cross date boundaries and shows overlapping timezones by merging the 2 time zone colors. It also display the name of the timezone or names of overlapping time zones. It is an update of the ColoredTimeRegions indicator.
Time Series Forecast. Returns the same values as the NT supplied version, but does not iterate on intrabar updates. Also has cleaner startup values when the bars available are fewer than the specified period. Displays a trend colored plot.
Version 1.1: Allows negative 'Forecast' parameters, corrects a coloring issue with intrabar updates.
I converted the minute data cunparis uploaded to the Pacific time zone using this attached tool. If you want the data converted to another time zone you can use this tool yourself. This is a Visual Studio C# project. If you don't want to deal with Visual Studio you can just run the .EXE file in the /bin/Debug folder. Once it converts your data it saves it in the same folder as your source file with the same name with the extension ".converted" appended to it.

October 3rd, 2010 08:24 PM zacharydw00 dadof3and3 fixed this similar program, that is on NT's forum, for me. He fix a couple if issues with it. The original
version didn't convert all 24 hrs of data. It stopped at 4:15 and skipped to the next day. Also, it crashed on files l
arger than 300MB. In addition to the fixes, he increased the number of time zones to add or subtract. To answer BM;s q
uestion, I've used it to convert 600MB tick files. I'm not sure where he posted the fixed version, or if he did post i
t. Check NT's forum.
June 13th, 2010 07:35 PM Big Mike Thanks for this, a lot of people needing this. But will it work for tick data as well?

September 7th, 2016 10:56 PM waverider I REALLY appreciate when people put free indicators up, I do, but this one fails in the same was as the other one I foun
d (although I get it does the one thing right).
I want to highlight the ETH and LEAVE the RTH (because my chart is already black I'd prefer to grey out the ETF).
But this handles 10:00 TO 16:00 but NOT 16:00 to 10:00. It seems to get confused.
Also, (and possibly to account for this) it would be awesome if it could do more than one time zone.
