I used to use Excel to calculate and average the end-of-day readings of three different Rate Of Change indicators to see if I could graph the differences in Directional Bias across a number of different Futures contracts (Equities, Treasuries, Currencies, Metals, Energy, Grains) in an effort to decide where to focus my trading efforts and capital.
The exercise was time consuming and not that helpful over the long term which lead me to abandon the project, until recently when I revisited the idea using NT-8.
The different period settings I used for the original project (on a Daily chart) were 10, 25 and 35 (Days),
and (on a Weekly chart) were 2, 5 and 7 (Weeks).
The irROCVolatility indicator displays the average of three different (10, 25, 35) ROC (Rate-of-Change) indicators to assist in highlighting directional bias while indicating increases and decreases in Volatility.
I was surprised by the way the indicator works on the smaller Intraday time frames that many of us use as day traders.
I find it helps when I can't understand what Delta is trying to tell me. Hopefully you'll find it useful too.

Indicator updated to Version 2 2019-09-07
Managed to get this sorted out today (finally) for NT-8, with the help of a friend.
As the name implies this is a Delta Momentum indicator (similar to one of the Gomi tools we all used on NT-7).
One thing to note however is that this indicator uses the Order Flow Cumulative Delta that was built into the lifetime license version of NinjaTrader 8 so this will not work with some of the basic versions of the platform.
***Note***
I added some functionality that was missing in the original version (due to my lack of coding skills), this version gives the user the ability to choose the Delta Calculation Type, BidAsk or UpDownTick.
***Note-2***
I'm not sure why, but the file that will download has the original file name even though the indicator included is the corrected version-2.
I've been a fan of Better Renko bars for several years now and was looking for a way to identify when a Wick or a Tail on a Better Renko bar was larger than the setting I had chosen.
Eg., Using a 4 Better Renko bar setting on the ES and looking for Wicks or Tails that were 5 ticks or greater.
This little indicator will do that for you. It simply draws an Arrow symbol above or below the corresponding Wick or Tail.
When I trade the NQ I prefer a 3 Better Renko bar, I use the irWicksandTails indicator to highlight 4 tick Wicks or Tails.
I don't use them for trade entries, I just note when they start to show up and rely on their presence to help me discern a "short term" trend bias.
This indicator is for NT-8, and was compiled with Version 8.0.17.2 64 Bit
