This is the popular Woodies CCI indicator, which was made popular by ken wood (25+ years trading experience) founder of the Woodie CCI club which is a large community of traders. There's actually a full system behind this indicator which I have personal never tried but a Google search will present a lot of information on the topic.
This indicator is just a modified version of the original CCI indicator. The CCI itself is a momentum indicator. Such indicators all work in the same basic fashion - plot the difference between a "fast" measure of price and a "slow" measure. In the case of the CCI, the "fast" measure is the price itself, and the "slow" measure is a moving average. Thus when we look at the CCI, what we are actually seeing is a measurement of the deviation of price from its moving average, normalised to fit on a scale of roughly -200 to +200.
Typically, traders of Woodies system trade very short timescales - 3 or 5 minute charts being common. I do NOT trade the Woodies system so I personal can't comment on it.
The Vortex Indicator consists of two oscillators that capture positive and negative trend movement.
A bullish signal triggers when the positive trend indicator crosses above the negative trend indicator or a key level.
A bearish signal triggers when the negative trend indicator crosses above the positive trend indicator or a key level. The Vortex Indicator is either above or below these levels, which means it always has a clear bullish or bearish bias.
Calculation of the Vortex Indicator can be divided into three parts. First, calculate the positive and negative trend movements based on the highs and lows of the last two periods. Positive trend movement is the distance from the current high to the prior low. The further the current high is from the prior low, the more positive the trend movement. Negative trend movement is the distance from the current low to the prior high. The further the current low is from the prior high, the more negative the trend movement. These periodic values are then summed based on the indicator setting, which is the usually 14 periods.
The second part involves the True Range, which was created by Welles Wilder. This indicator uses the current high, current low and prior close to measure volatility
The third part normalizes the positive and negative trend movements by dividing them by the True Range. In effect, the Vortex Indicator shows volatility-adjusted positive trend movement and volatility-adjusted negative trend movement. The end result creates to indicators that oscillate above/below 1.
Please Keep in mind that the Vortex Indicator is not designed as a standalone indicator.

This Indicator is the Raff Regression Channel or RRC. Some credit needs to be given to FatTails as I used his regression channel that painted bars as a starting point. You can find his code here:
- Option to select between the original Heikin-Ashi bars created by Dan Valcu and the modified Heikin-Ashi bars suggested by Sylvain Vervoort.
- The Heikin-Ashi candles can be smoothed with median, mode and 27 different moving averages. Please select between the 2 types of Heikin-Ashi bars, smoothed Dan_Valcu candles and smoothed Sylvain_Vervoort candles.
- Indicator can be used on price panel or other panels.
- Candle color and candle outline color can each be selected.
- A paintbar indicator is included that allows to color bars according to the Heikin Ashi trend. The paintbar indicator allows to access the trend via a BoolSeries, which can be used by automated strategies or other indicators.
Update January 13, 2011: Indicator can be used on secondary panels.
Update July 3, 2012: Formula used by Sylvain Vervoort added. Second paintbar indicator added that can be used as a trendfilter.
Update August 16, 2012: Smoothing methods added. Plot modified. Indicators can now be displaced.
Update August 31, 2012: Ehlers Filter updated.
Update August 20, 2013: Tillson T3 added, Heikin-Ashi trend exposed as public BoolSeries, HA Open, High, Low and Close can be selected as input series or accessed by a strategy.
Update April 5, 2014: Small copy & paste bug removed, values were not correctly set to BoolSeries for the HA indicator.
This is a quick implementation of the Klinger Volume Oscillator as published by Stephen J.Klinger in the December 1997 issue of Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities. Here is a short recapitulation of how he trades the oscillator.
"The most powerful use of the KVO comes when the indicator reaches an extreme reading either above or below the center line and reverses direction. This signals an exhaustion of the prevailing trend and warns of an impending reversal in price.
The most reliable signals occur in the direction of the prevailing trend. Trades against the trend tend to be high-risk ventures.
The most important signal occurs when the KVO diverges from price action, especially on price extremes, either in
overbought or oversold territory. When a security makes a new high or low for a cycle and the KVO fails to confirm
this, the indicator is warning that the trend is losing momentum and nearing completion."
Introduction:
Trend Bars Hi Low is a very simple trend indicator in the form of a Paint Bar study.
Bars trending up have higher highs and higher lows, bars trending down have lower lows and lower highs.
Options:
The indie has a couple of options
1. Period - this allows you to increase the lookback period to more than one bar
2. Ignore Inside bars - set this to true if you wish for smaller - less significant - bars that have lower highs and higher lows to be ignored in your trend path
How to use it:
1. Use it on time based bars - won't make sense on anything else.
2. Look to a higher timeframe - is the trend up or down and how advanced is it - too advanced => maybe time for a pulback
3. In your trading timeframe look for signals of pullbacks that suit your trading direction
4. Entries: Following a pullback enter on candles that have your trend color - i.e. enter long when the direction is starting to move up after a period of downtrending candles
5. Exits : Trail your entry and exit when the trend turns against you
