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

A simple indicator that shows the high volume. You can change the volume alert depending the time frame used.
Converted from NT7. I found this indicator useful in this forum some years ago. I use it in time frames of one and five minutes.

Description:
This indicator displays how much the Highest, Lowest, and Current price has moved from an opening value as follows:
1. The value is in ticks
2. The opening price is determined either from opening bar at market open or from the first day.
3. The opening price neutral zone is determined by the user.
4. The price movement is spread across 5 zones Above and Below (as required) with each zone representing 20% of the move.
5. Either the inactive and active zones or only the active zones can be displayed. In the only active zone display option, the hiding and un-hiding is controlled by when two MAs cross the neutral zones.
6. The current bar color represents up and down bars and above or below the opening price.
7. Zone coloring and opacity is controlled by the user
8. Informational messages can be displayed
Notes
1. Opening Price: The way opening price is determined is a user option. It can either be the close price of the first bar at each market open or the close price of only the first bar. Choosing the market open (Daily_MO) will cause a reset at every market open whereas the first bar option (FromFirstBar) is continuous. If the setting “Load data based on” is set to anything other than “Days” FromFirstBar is forced.
2. Opening Price Neutral Zone: This zone is a specified number of ticks above and below the opening price and is the base value for the Above and Below Zones. It acts as a visual buffer for direction change and is used in the hiding and un-hiding of zones.
3. Zone Creation: The zones are created when the price moves 5 (the number of zones) * the zone tick size (default 3) but only after the neutral zone is created for the current direction. All five zones are create at one time. The zones are only expanded and that occurs when the price moves 5 ticks. Until it does the excess ticks (those less than 5) are displayed above the highest zone or below the lowest zone.
4. Zone coloring options: Several templates are provided to assist in creating the zones
4.1. AsSpecified – uses the colors and opacity setting specified for each zone.
4.2. Replicate_A1_and_B1 – sets all of the Above zone colors to the A1 color and all the Below zone colors to the
B1 color. The A1 & A2 opacity values are used to set the other Above Zone opacity on an alternating basis.
The same process is used for the Below zones. The zone display in the screen shot uses this method.
4.3. Replicate_AIA2_and_B1B2 – uses the color and opacity of the A1and A2 Zones and replicates to the other Above zones and likewise for the B1 and B2.
4.4. A_Sets_B – the Above Zone settings are replicated to the Below Zones.
4.5. None: – technically not a template, this option turns off zone coloring.
5. Zone Display Options: This option controls if the both the active and inactive zones (the area of the current bar) is displayed or only the active zone (hiding and un-hiding). The hiding and un-hiding is controlled by the MA lines. While the hiding and un-hiding works well with non-time-based bars it is possible that volatile price movements (when using low value time-based bars) might cause unnecessary hiding and un-hiding. Altering the MA periods or chart settings may help. If not, it can be turned off.
6. Bar Coloring: There are 4 bar coloring options (1) Above Up and Down, and (2) Below Up and Down. The default uses the lightest bar colors for the up direction and the darker ones for the down direction, regardless of bar location.
7. Moving Average coloring: The MAs can be turned off, or independently colored according to locations (Above, Below, In Neutral zone). Only the MA periods can be changed. The Fast Ma is a LinReg and the Slow is an EMA. These MAs are based on the current bar values. Although not the intended use in this indicator it may be possible to use these the same way as the Trigger lines by @FatTails as they are of the same type, however no visual or external signals are provided.
8. Background color: A background color for the indicator region can be independently set. Default colors assume a dark chart background, the indicator’s background color option is not enabled

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.
October 4th, 2017 02:55 PM snowpatrol Nice indicator. A volume feature would make it really amazing. Still, love the vertical bars highlighting the surge in
volume.
