FiveMinuteOdysseySignals_v2 is the indicator I refer to and describe in my thread, https://nexusfi.com/elite-trading-journals/8035-mwinfreys-5-minute-odyssey.html. This indicator encapsulates rules 1, 2, and 4 as described in the quick summary of that thread. There is accommodation for rule 3 stuff in the indicator but isn't implemented other that a simple filter. However, anyone knowing how to program can find that portion of the code and add some filters if you like.
The indicator can be used for backtesting and accounts for intrabar wiggle. I won't go into detail on how I did that. You can view the code and see for yourself. The main thing is that you understand that what you get in backtesting is what you get forward testing. Of course slippage in live trading exists but not accounted for with this indicator.
You can only use this indicator with COBC = true. Trying to use it set to false does not work. I coded a fail-safe so you can't set it to false.
Parameter Description:
1. You can set up to 4 different trading sessions.
2. Either show PNL or not.
3. Use a trailing stop if you want which triggers with one tick of profit and trails behind profit by the amount you have set for the stoploss.
Indicator colors CAN NOT be customized. Encourage you to use this indicator as-is to prove a concept before you start asking for customizable colors. I really don't intend to spend the time making it any prettier than it is. So, please adjust the colors on your chart so you can see the graphics that I use. Their colors are white, black, red, lime, and blue. However, if you have ideas for rules then please forward them to me and I'll take a look.

Here is a way to see what days have been or are FOMC. This is updated through DEC 2012. I am using a function publicly available at the trade station forums.

Strategy Name in NT: ChangeFontNinjaTrader
Only tested for NT7
This code makes use of a strategy to change the default font within Ninja Trader. Add the strategy to the Strategy tab within the control panel. Choose your font and enable the strategy. The font will stay on whatever you choose until Ninja Trader is restarted. To reset back to the original font choose Default from the strategy and re-enable. Disable the strategy once the font is set.
Couple of notes:
- The code makes use of the active window condition. This means if you keep in enabled then goto a chart or a edit strategy it will change some of the fonts within the menus and options boxes.
- The code is setup to add additional fonts. See the "Font Types" section of the code.
- when adding additional fonts be sure to use a "_" underscore where ever there is a space.
- Add a comma to the end of the font name.
- The name spelling must be exact or it will change the font to the default setting.
Final note:
Although this should not mess anything else up within Ninja Trader, be sure to use caution when using code which changes the default settings of a program. In other words: use at your own risk!!

Updates 7/14/2016:
- complied on NT8b12, may not work in earlier versions
- thanks to Sim22 for some great code modifications to make the chart more stable and kill some bugs
This is a standard footprint chart that shows bid/ask market orders or volume/delta bars. It doesn't have a lot of the bells and whistles that some other (paid) versions have, but I find it sufficient for my needs.
Candlestick bars can be shown to the left of the footprint bars and/or as an outline in the footprint bar. It also allows to indicate the close and high volume bars in the footprint.
If you find any bugs or have any enhancement suggestions, please PM me.
NOTES:
You must turn on Tick Replay otherwise the chart will not show historical bar values. Charts that do not support Tick Replay (Renko for example) will not work. Line charts will also not show the footprint bars.
Charts with a high Days to Load value (15+) will take more time to initially load as there's a lot of values to historically calculate before the chart can be displayed.
I suggest using a fixed width font (Consolas, Lucida, etc.) for the Bar Font as the numbers line up and makes the chart more readable.
There's no easy to way that I found to auto scale the bar width and spacing based on the font size, so these are manual adjustments via Bar Spacing and Bar Width. Bar Spacing controls the spacing between the bars and Bar Width controls how wide the bars are. If you change the font from the default Consolas 12px, you may need to increase or decrease these values to adjust the bars.
The chart will attempt to auto scale to compress the footprint bars so there's little to no spacing between the bars. The scaling is based on the chart window size, so if you size the window small, it may not look great if there's a lot of bars on the chart. If you don't like the auto scaling, you can turn it off in the indicator properties via Visual->Auto scale.
