This indicator is based on the original version of the Better Volume Indicator from https://www.emini-watch.com/. It identifies the following events relative to the selected lookback period:
Breakout or climax bars: A breakout or climax bar is a wide range high volume bar for which the the product "volume times range" is higher than for all preceeding bars of the lookback period.
Churn bars: A churn bar is a narrow range high volume bar for which the ratio "volume per range" is higher than for all preceeding bars of the lookback period.
Climax churn bars: A climax churn bar is a high volume bar that qualifies both as a climax bar and as a churn bar.
Low volume bars: A low volume bar is a bar which has a lower volume than for all preceeding bars of the lookback period.
The indicator uses two lookback periods. The larger lookback period identifies stronger climax and churn bars, the smaller lookback period points to weaker climax and churn bars and is used to identify low volume bars.
A breakout or climax bar may occur at different locations. It may start a trend as a breakout bar, it may indicate that an existing trend continues after price has consolidated or it may occur at the end of a trend and indicate that the trend is near exhaustion. This bar type is similar to classic types of gaps that may be found on daily charts. There are runaway gaps, continuation gaps and exhaustion gaps. Breakout or climax bars may be used as a subsitute for those gaps when trading smaller timeframes.
Relative Volume: When you use the BetterVolume indicator with intraday data, it is pretty much distorted at the beginning of the regular session. When compared to pre-session bars, all the bars in the beginning of the regular session look like high volume bars, which in turn leads to false signals. This behavior is corrected when the Better Volume indicator is applied to "relative volume" instead of "absolute volume". This version of the indicator allows for performing the Better Volume calculations on both absolute volume and relative volume.
Sound Alerts: The indicator comes with sound alerts.
Market Analyzer Column: I have included a market analyzer column with the install file. The market analyzer column will return bar codes for each type of signal: strong climax churn bar = 0, strong climax bar = 1, strong churn bar = 2, weak climax churn bar = 3, weak climax bar = 4, weak churn bar = 5, low volume bar = 6, upclose no signal bar = 7, downclose no signal bar = 8, doji no signal bar = 9. Based on these values you may define cell conditions and show the signals as text with background color on the market analyzer.
Update version 1.1: Bug removed. Sound alerts did not fire, because the path for the sound files had not been initialized.
Update version 1.3:: Holiday calendar updated for Relative Volume indicator, sound alerts now working on inactive charts.
Nota: The forum software has renamed the downloadable zip file to the false version number 1.0. Please disregard the version number of the zip file. The zip file contains the indicator version as specified above.
This is a simple version of the Better Volume Indicator from https://www.emini-watch.com/. It is not based on the later versions but the original version and identifies the following events
Breakout or Climax Bars: A breakout or climax bar is a bar with the highest value for the product of volume and range within the lookback period.
Churn Bars: A churn bar is a bar with the highest value for the volume per range within the lookback period.
Climax Churn Bars: A climax churn bar is a high volume bar that qualifies as both climax and churn bar.
Low Volume Bars: A low volume bar is a bar that has the lowest volume within the lookback period.
The indicator uses two lookback periods. The larger lookback period identifies stronger climax and churn bars, the smaller lookback period points to weaker climax and churn bars and is used to identify low volume bars.
Sound Files: The sound files are user selectable. You first need to copy your sound files to the directory C:\Program Files\Ninjatrader 7 \sounds. You can then select these files via the indicator dialogue box. Make sure that your sound files are compatible with NinjaTrader. NinjaTrader 7 does not support wav\MPEG, you need to convert it to wav\PCM first with an audio recorder.
Version 1.1, April 22, 2011: Bug fixed, low volume bars were not shown correctly.
Version 1.2, January 22, 2012: Paint bar option added. Overlay version showing paint bars only is included. Values for different bar types are exposed as IntSeries
Version 1.3, September 27, 2012: Code efficiency improved, following suggestions by @Zondor.
Version 1.4. December 28, 2012: Bug removed, sound alert for low volume alert was triggered for all bars with setting COBC = false.
Version 1.5. February 10, 2015: Bug removed, paintbar opacity was not applied for low volume upclose bars with setting COBC = false.
I have a request to share my set-up (4-Range for entry and 8-Range for confirmation). Sincerely hope that the enclosed zip will work. For the templates, please check the Template Download section.

A multicharts .NET C# version of the bid / ask / last price lines I used on Ninja. Haven't tested it on all timeframes or instruments, but looks good on futures.
Coded with much inspiration from the Market_Depth_on_Chart_2 indicator included with MC.
Updates on a 0.2 sec timer rather than ticks, so the bid/ask can be drawn when they change without trades.
This is Version 1, posted 6/18/2015.
UPDATE:
Version 2, posted 12/23/2015.
Fixes problems with not allowing changes to colors & widths.
Cheap hack to work around a bug introduced into MultiCharts .NET builds > 12000. Their "ChartPoint2Point()" is broken now for volume and range charts. Now the price line simply draws 15 bars to the right of the last bar.

Big Candle v1.0
Identify unusually large price movements. If the range for the bar is outside of the standard deviation then the bar gets highlighted. There are also options to draw arrows on your main chart, and trigger alerts.
Really good at warning you of large movements triggered by news.
Lines on the indicator show you the average range, and how much range deviates from that average. Basically if that bar is above the top line it will be highlighted. Try different values for the periods and deviation factor to get the movements that you want highlighted.
I recommend using the plots on the indicator to help get the settings that you want, and then resizing the panel to hide the plot. Then just rely on the arrows and alerts.

Hide/Show coding from MindSet's EmaHide.cs script.
Please do not share the script outside the Elite Circle!
Superimpose Range, Renko or Minute Bars to a smaller bar size chart. I use it to look at larger bar sizes without distorting the equidistant bar spacing, and to confirm longer term trends. You can mix and match using BigBars on Range charts, minute charts, etc. The results will vary in live operation depending on COBC = true or false. The Show/Hide Button is activated by pressing the Shift key; after that the button will toggle between Show and Hide the BigBars' plots and boxes. The Show/Hide button makes the OHLC plots Visible/Transparent, and the High-Low,Open-Close boxes get shifted up by the HideOffset value. The default setting for HideOffset=200 Ticks would move the boxes outside the visible chart, but you can choose a smaller HideOffset to merely shift them slightly from the price bars. The "***" markers at the Current Bar location show where would the BigBar close Up or Down based on current price range, if applicable. You may override the first price of the session to some other value; specially useful to better align the BigBarsRenko Bricks with the significant price action/price levels. If StartingValue is left at zero the indicator will use its default Close[FirstBarOfSession].
Enjoy!

BigConstantLines v1.1
Some traders use a lot of static levels that are sometimes far from current price.
Other want to always be reminded of Big Round Numbers, or quarters, halfs, etc.
Some want a mix of both.
BigConstantLines will use a starting price value (CenterLineValue) and automatically create lines 16 levels above, and 16 levels below using the AddPointsValue increments. OR, just enter each level manually leaving the CenterLineValue and AddPointsValue properties blank/zero.
One can also autopopulate and then override any level with a manually entered price. This may be a S/R level, Pivot, All Time High/Low, whatever. The indi can be added more than once in case there are some numbers from say daily/weekly/month charts that are significantly out of the current trading range, but that you want on the chart if you get there, or if you just want more than 33 levels.
Some instruments tend to move in pretty reliable patterns, say 25 handles. Pick a starting price
for CenterLineValue and enter 25 in the AddPointsValue, voila.
Note: Line17 is the CenterLine, and cannot be manually overridden when using the autopopulate mode.
(This is hack of the standard Constant Lines indicator. It's prolly gonna make your machine explode, create a new COVID variant, cause constipation, and remove all hope for whirled peas. Use at your own risk.)

September 4th, 2015 03:25 PM Japhro Works nicely, but it looks like the last price line colour or width doesn't change when you change it in style settings.
