The indicator shows the Double Smoothed Momentum - see Stocks & Commodities, May 1991.
Blau Double Smoothed Momentum (DSM-B): The raw Stochastics is calculated as the percentage value for the close within the range created from the highest close and the lowest close over the lookback period. The term "Double Smoothed Momentum" is somewhat misleading. The DSM-B is obtained by separately double-smoothing both numerator and denominator of the raw Stochastics. The double-smoothed value for the numerator is then divided by the double-smoothed value for the denominator.
Stochastics Smoothing: William Blau twice applied an EMA to both numerator and denominator of the raw Stochastics. This indicator allows to use 30 different moving averages for the smoothing. The same moving average type is used for the first and the second average calculation.
Parameters: The lookback period for the raw Stochastics indicates the number of bars for which the highest close and lowest close is determined. The lookback period is comparable to all other Stochastics indicators. The default value is 14 bars. The double smoothing of numerator and denominator is done with two moving averages. The first smoothing is typically done with a faster moving average, the second with a slower moving average.
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 DSM and signal line.
Trend definition: The indicator exposes the current trend via an IntSeries. The trend can be determined based on the DSM (rising & not oversold, falling & not overbought, neutral), the signal line (rising & not oversold, falling & not overbought, neutral)) or the DSM / 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 DSM / 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.
The indicator allows to display the Double Smoothed Stochastics - see Stocks & Commodities, January 1991. The Double Smoothed Stochastics as introduced by William Blau should not be confused with the better known Double Smoothed Stochastics (DSS) indicator by Walter Bressert.
Blau Double Smoothed Stochastics (DSS-B): The raw Stochastics is calculated as the percentage value for the close within the range created from the highest high and the lowest low over the lookback period. The DSS-B is obtained by separately double-smoothing both numerator and denominator of the raw Stochastics. The double-smoothed value for the numerator is then divided by the double-smoothed value for the denominator.

Update March 13, 2014: Trend filter modified. Histogram added.
These are simple modifications of the Weighted Moving Average and Volume Weighted Moving Average for NT7 ONLY.
The Ninjatrader versions of these two indicators plot in one color. These versions plot different colors for rising, falling and neutral (NON-repainting).,
The Ninjatrader versions run through iterative loops on every tick. In these versions the loop processing is only done once per bar. So, these can be run with CalculateOnBarClose=false without bringing your computer to a standstill.

Colored WMA based on slope. version 1.001 Simple but useful.
For example -
To recreate the wave in this picture use a 330WMAColored, 160WMAColored, and 30WMAColored. Then build the wave with standard WMAs from 1wma to 160wma spaced every 6.
For my trading i make use of two different fib retracement templates.
One template with the 50% and 61.8% retracements, and a 2nd template with the wolf range to determine the market geometry. Although ninja supports templates for the fibonacci levels, this requires me to select the correct fib. level template every time i want to draw one of them.
To make live easier i made a copy of the fib. retracement drawing tool, modified it so it uses the the wolff range settings by default. That way i don't have to switch templates anymore and i can just select the normal fib tool for my 50%/61.8% retracements and the wolf range drawing tool for drawing a wolf range
Offcourse you also adjust it and use other retracement templates as you like.

Version. 1.0
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.
I don't care about the colors or shape of the indicator or if it's above 80 or under 20
Only the UP and DOWN values
Stay long until there's value above Zero in DOWN
Stay short until there's value above Zero in UP
September 27th, 2010 01:11 PM fxprobie I have been using this on both 6.5 and NT7 and it works well on both. Only bug bear which is minor and of my own making
is that I sometimes like to have it updated live. ie not on bar close and this can give a couple of wiggley bits. Start
s one colour going down and then changes and goes up leaving spikes. Moral: wonderful indicator not to be used on live u
