TradeStation ShowMe and PaintBar studies for identifying and quantifying divergences between pairs of data series.
I wrote these studies with the intention of applying them to the S&P500 and the VIX, however they may be applied to any pair of data series.
To use, load a minute chart window with the SPY as data1 and the VIXY as data2. Make sure both series have the same bar settings ( ie, 5 minute and 5 minute ).
The paint bar study has a slightly weakened algorithm in order to give the viewer a “heads up” that the show me indicator may signal.
The example chart is 5 minute from 9/8/2015
Interpretation
A green dot under a bar is a long signal. It means the VIX is falling at a relatively greater quantity than the S&P is rising.
A red dot above bar is a short signal. It means the VIX is rising at a relatively greater quantity than the S&P is falling.
The studies work as follows:
The data series for data2 ( the VIX in our example ) is inverted by calculating the reciprocal of the close ( 1/close). This effectively flips the chart upside down.
The natural logarithmic returns for data1 and data2 are calculated and stored in a pair of data series for each.
The difference between the returns series are run through a pair of RSI oscillators in order to discover progressive divergences between them.

This is an Average True Range Extension study with two inputs, one for a short length and another for a longer length based on the daily ATR values. It plots the extensions from the midpoint of they day price and can be overlapped on the day or only plotted on the right extension area of the chart.
*Rev 1: Fixed the ATR[#] label so it changes with the parameter change for the length.

This is a fork from Lizard's amaATR's 1.1 version and when installed will also be put into the Lizard folder as "atrTick". Essentially, I created this because ATR is such an important concept and the way the current indicators are built is to give a value based on points. This makes "at a glance" analysis hard because you need to do some arithmetic.
This indicator will display the ATR in either ticks or dollars and will make your chart or Market Analyzer cleaner as comparisons between different instruments makes more sense. In the 15M screenshot provided, it looks like /YM moves the most on the default ATR, but because of it's point value it actually moves less than the /ES and /NQ in terms of dollar value. Another great example is /ZB. It doesn't move many ticks, but it's dollar amount is comparable to the /ES
V 1.1
Fixed the archive and a rounding error for the dollar value, so you should get the exact dollar amount relative to ticks.

This strategy automatically creates a stop based on the ATR (Average True Range) indicator. The input in the strategy allows you to select the ATR period and the (numatrs) number of ATRs the stop is placed from the open price.
Hello Traders, there are certain time slots during the day where the volatility increases. This could be due to news releases at certain times or institutional adjustments after the 'morning meetings'. This indicator is a modification of the ATR indicator that makes the average of the ATR 1 (range of one candle) and allows you to set how many candles back to evaluate. For simplicity the candles in the pic are set to 60minutes and the 4 instances of ATRback are set to look back 23, 46, 69, and 92 candles ( 1,2,3,4 trade days back) so you can spot the time slots where the range of the 1 hour candles tend to increase. Another application might be to set the lookback in intervals of a week, so you would be looking at that day of the week 1,2,3,4,weeks back.
This indicator has worked on several instances of NT 8 and several bar types. It was exported using NT8 v14.2

I tripped over this indicator and it's from Ninja Trader Support Forum. For me, it's a great learning tool before I can draw trend lines myself .. smile ..

July 17th, 2015 06:05 PM ShaunG Thanks for the indicator! I have been looking for something to help me set my stop parameters based on the ATR reading.
Looks like this might be exactly what I am looking for. Thanks for your “indi”, will let you know how it works out. Kind
regards.
