This is a great visual for chop and congestion. But I can barely make out the colors of the boxes. Can you make the opacity a variable? Thanks!

It is now updated with opacity and color options. Thank you for compliments.

Thanks for this useful indicator.
I placed it on a 10 Range chart this Saturday and it seems to follow the market swings with color changes very accurately. I will follow up during the week.
The problem I have is that on Ninja re-start, the color changes to grey for the three plots on the chart. The color selectors in the indicator window go empty and I have to select them again for Congestion Box, Demand Box and the Supply Box. Once done it is OK for the trading session.
Is it only me?? I am using NT 7.0.1000.5

Thanks - great indicator - especially if you are a follower of Joe Ross trading techniques. This can identify the Ross measuring bar. Combine the "Congestion Box" with the other thread elsewhere (when they finish) "1-2-3 (ABC) Ninja Trader Ross Hook Wave Pattern" located here > https://nexusfi.com/ninjatrader/7274-1-2-3-abc-ninjatrader-ross-hook-wave-pattern.html - this maybe Elite area, add Fat Tail's Narrow Range 7 indicator (https://nexusfi.com/free_downloads/ninjatrader-7/indicators/870-download.html?view) and you have all the tools needed to trade Joe Ross / Trader Tick Entry methods.


I have 4 suggestions / requests
> add a parameter that allows user to input "How many bars before it's a Measuring Bar?" (start of the box) i think you have this coded to 3 - but i am not familiar enough with programing to find that in your code. i looked at it in an editor but??? so a parameter would be the best so you could have multiple indicators to show more or fewer boxes.

> add a parameter that allows user to input "+/- ticks used for H/L or C outside of box?" i think you have this coded to 4 but think i like it at 3. so parameter input would be great!

> add a parameter that allows user to input "Maximum Bars to count"

> add a parameter that allows user to input "sound an alarm when the Measuring Bar has been identified" on/off

Again thanks for all the hard work. i just wish i knew enough to do the mods and post them!

I am wondering if you can say why you delay the drawing of the box for two bars, it seems very effective, would it not be better drawing it after a single bar?

Thank you very much!

Excellent indicator for range bars. Accurate. Thank you for sharing it in BMT.

I have one problem, that at ninja Trader boot up, the colors for the three boxes do not re-appear like any other indicator and I have to assign then again in the indicator window. The rest of the session is alright. Only at boot up. I've had this problem since 2011 when I first downloaded it. I just did download again to see if it worked but still does the same.

I had no problems downloading or importing it into NT. I use NT 7 (current v.)

Anyone experiencing this anomaly?

This indicator has made a world of difference in my trading!! So glad I found it...THANK YOU
