This is a great example of large contract orders driving the ES today.

The firebrick colour shows 1000+ contract trades. The chart times are UK times.

Is there a way to use the values of bin1-4 from this indicator in a strategy?

Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "Bin1"));
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Green), PlotStyle.Line, "Bin2"));
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.DarkViolet), PlotStyle.Line, "Bin3"));
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Firebrick), PlotStyle.Line, "Bin4"));

it works only in real time. The next step is built a data collector for it much like the GomCD indicator so that it can display history data.

Sharky, I had the same experience yesterday. (I added it after the market had closed & there was no activity). When I ran a market replay,however, it started drawing the lines. I don't understand why it only displays in real time & why when you hit F5 or modify any indicator setting & hit "apply", it reverts back so a solid orange line. Wish it kept its history & wasn't only a real-time indicator.
