Created by Larry Connors, this indicator is a composite of three separate components. Two of the three components utilize the Relative Strength Index (RSI) calculations developed by Welles Wilder in the 1970’s, and the third component ranks the most recent price change on a scale of 0 to 100.
In effect, the three components combine to form a momentum oscillator. The output value between 0 and 100 then identifies short-term overbought and oversold conditions.
Description:
Plots the cumulative delta (orders lifting offers - orders hitting bids) in a sub graph below the main chart for most chart types in TradeStation.
Usage:
The indicator plots the difference between Upticks and Downticks for each bar in a Hi-Lo bartype fashion. The close of the previous bar is the open of the new bar. It does not draw the wicks, just the open and close. The code maintains the running Upticks-Downticks tally in a bar and plots the difference realtime for the last bar on chart if update intrabar option is checked. It allows the trader to specify pit open/close times and the option to reset (start from 0) the cumulative delta at either the pit open time or the pit close time or both. A zero line can be plotted if required. Also allows the user to specify an Alert limit such that when the delta goes over this limit, that CD bar can be colored with the Alert Color. The Up Color and Down Color can also be specified.
Works on the following chart types:
Time
Tick (using Trade Vol instead of Tick Count for chart volume)
Volume (using Trade Vol instead of Tick Count for chart volume)
Momentum
Range
Input Parameters:
PitOpen - Time in HH24MM format (eg: 0800 for 8 AM and 1600 for 4 PM)
PitClose - Time in HH24MM format (eg: 0800 for 8 AM and 1600 for 4 PM)
ResetAtPitOpen - True/False values only
ResetAtPitClose - True/False values only
PlotZeroLine - True/False values only
AlertBar - Numerical, positive value only. The code uses an absolute value before comparing.
AlertColor - Any TradeStation color like Magenta, Cyan, Yellow, White etc.
UpColor - Any TradeStation color like Magenta, Cyan, Yellow, White etc.
DownColor - Any TradeStation color like Magenta, Cyan, Yellow, White etc.

Hey guys, I've discovered a custom TDI that can be created without coding. All the indicators are available if you have NT8. Instructions are as follows:
Double stochastics 10 period; Scale justification - right
SUM 3 period; Input series - RSI period 13; Scale justification - overlay
SUM 18 period; Input series - RSI period 13; Scale justification - left
Bollinger; Input series - RSI period 13; Scale justification - right; Period 34, Standard deviations - 2 (Set upper and lower band to transparent to hide or you can leave them if you prefer)
* Best trade set ups for longs is when the 2 SUMs are above the middle Bollinger band and double stochastic is oversold. The reverse is true for shorts. You can also trade it when fast SUM crosses slow SUM just like other oscillators. Play around with it and let me know how it works for you!

The candles are representative of the individual delta bars. The dotted line is the cumulative delta since the sign change. So if we start to go positive it sums up all the positive bars.

The Directional Trend Index (DTI) was developed by William Blau and published in his book "Momentum, Direction and Divergence".
To determine the value of the DTI William Blau first calculates a composite momentum from both highs and lows of the last days. In a next step both the composite momentum and the absolute values of the composite momentum are smoothed. The smoothed momentum is then divided by the smoothed absolute momentum and the result is multiplied with 100.
Momentum smoothing: William Blau smoothed both momentum and absolute momentum by applying an EMA several times (double or triple smoothing). This indicator allows to use 16 different moving averages for the smoothing. The same moving average type is used for all three average calculations.
Parameters: The lookback period for the momentum the number of bars from which the momentum is calculated. Blau uses a lookback period, which is different from the standard momentum. To obtain a 1-period momentum (price change from the last to the current bar) the Directional Trend Index requires a setting of 2 for the lookback period (default setting).
Signal line: William Blau did not use a signal line for the double smoothed indicators. I have added the signal line, because the cross of the signal line can be used as a trend indication. Moving average type and period for the signal line can be selected.
Histogram: The indicator has an option to plot a histogram, which shows the difference between DTI and signal line.
Trend definition: The indicator exposes the current trend via an IntSeries. The trend can be determined based on the DTI (rising & not oversold, falling & not overbought, neutral), the signal line (rising & not oversold, falling & not overbought, neutral)) or the DTI / signal line crosses. All trend definitions are not straightforward, but require a higher close to switch to an uptrend, or a lower close to switch to a downtrend. Moreover the DTI / signal line cross will only show an uptrend, when not oversold and a downtrend when not overbought.
Paint bars: The paintbars can be used to plot the trend information. The trend states are uptrend, downtrend and neutral trend as explained above. It is possible to apply the indicator to the price panel and unselect the indicator plots. This allows to use the indicator as a "paintbar only" indicator.
Sound alerts: The indicator comes with sound alerts which are triggered when the trend changes. The sound files are included with the zip file and should be manually copied into the directory Documents -> program files (x86) -> NinajTrader 7 -> sounds.
Update March 17, 2014: Option added to select sound files
Double stochastic is used as a cycle indicator. You can use a long term and short term cycles on your chart and take oversold short term trades in the direction of the long term cycle. This is not holy grail!
