BarTimes indicator 5 *
Exported with NinjaTrader 7.0.1000.31

Latest revision on 7/27/16 - see revision notes for details

This indicator computes the elapsed time between bars on a non-time based chart. There are a number of enhancements to the indicator GHPBarTimer by NJAMC upon which it is based. Upon Installation it will be named fpgBarTimes so as not to conflict with the base indicator.


Additions/modifications/fixes included in the 7/27/2016 version
  1. Added : an option to display an Alert message when the MA for the total time is above, below, or both (an Or condition) of the designated time zones. Setting this option will force the Non-Directional Plot to be included (see #3 below)
  2. Added: an IntSeries file to record the results of number 1 above, as controlled by the switch that allows the recording of various outputs.
  3. Added : option to plot MAs for the bar time in Up bars and Down bars (directional Option). Doji bars have their bar time evenly split across the two so it does not skew the results. The period for these can be set to a different value than the MA total (Non-Directional option) time. Both can be plotted.
  4. Added: an Auto adjust feature which will adjust the various time line values according to the change in chart’s bar type or value. The purpose is to allow the user to change a bar type or value and automatically adjust the zone time lines by a ratio calculated (to the nearest .25) from the bar types values specified in the various Bar Type parameters.

    For example, if the chart bar type is set to Tick with a value of 75 (which matches the parameter value for a tick bar) changing that value to 150 would result in the zone line values being doubled. Note: if the Time Lines Option (#04) is set to “TimeIncrement” then the increment value may or may not be adjusted according to the AutoAdjust Increment setting. The bar types supported is as follows: Tick, Renko, UniRenko, BetterRenko, SveRenko, Range, and Volume. Others can easily be added (see number 4 in the Notes section under this item).

    Hint: When using this option first set the default values (these are found in the Auto Adjust Parameters section) for each bar type that you intend to use and save it as the indicators default profile. Once set, those values will be the base from which all of the calculations will be done when changing either the bar type or the bar type’s value. Once the final bar type/value is determined the appropriate parameter(s) should be set and the auto adjust option turned off as it is intended to be an aid for determining the appropriate zone line and time settings for the bar type and/or value.

    Notes:
    4.1. Only a few of the possible combinations or bar type changes have been tested. However, the logic for processing these changes is the same for all. It is possible that there may still be a bug.
    4.2. Because the calculated value might be hard to determine from the Y-axis there is an option to log the results to the Output window.
    4.3. This enhancement should be used as an aid to determine new zone setting when a bar type or value is changed.
    4.4. If the code is modified to support additional bar types, be sure to keep the type and value in the same relative order as an index is used in the code.

    5 Modified: various colors for better contrast on a chart with a dark background.
    6.]Modified: the default zone line values. [FONT=Calibri]
    7. Fixed: the HFT zone value was not being written to the DataSeries.
    8. Fixed: the Max time percent was not used in the calculation.

    Note:
    There is no version number in the indicator's name therefore it will replace the existing indicator. If a backup copy is deemed necessary export the old version first. Also recommend that the previous version be deleted first.

Original Enhancements are as follows:


1. A minutes or seconds display is user selectable

2. Bar times are organized into user defined time “zones” as follows:
a. Time Zone 1 (TZ-n) is the starting TZ and is defined in decimal minutes, i.e., 0.5 = 30 seconds, etc.
b. A user defined increment, also in decimal minutes, is added to TZ-1 to create TZ-2. The same increment is added to TZ-2 to create TZ-3. TZ-4 is anything above TZ-3. Lines are produce for TZ-1 to 3. The HTF-like “zone” is a sub period of TZ-1 and is identified when the bar time is LT or EQ to a user define number of seconds. If the bar time is below the defined time it could be considered potential HFT activity
c. An optional histogram of TZ1-TZ4 times is produced, with each zone having a user defined color.
3. An optional truncated display for excessive bar times (above Zone 3) which will force a user define percentage (xx.y) be added to the TZ-3 value and used to plot excessive bar times. This is done to keep the indicator panel the same size. Setting a max value does not disturb the MA calculation.

4. Optional visual alerts using background colors can be painted for excessive time (EXT) bars and potential HFT bars, or
both. A consecutive bar count can be set for both to eliminate false alerts for both EXT and HFT-like bar times.

5. A moving average for current bar times can be calculated from 6 MA types.

6. The assigned zone number for the current bar time and its moving average can be sent to 2 IntSeries which can be
used in Bloodhound or user written strategy. The values are 0 = potential HFT-like activity (only the current bar time
zone), 1-3 the zone number for the current bar time and its MA, and 4 = excessive bar time (EXT zone) also for the
current bar time and the MA.

7. Using this indicator on a time based chart will produce a message in the lower right
corner and disable further calculations.

Please PM me if you encounter any problems rather than write them in the review.

Revision Descriptions:

1. 6/11/16 The revision includes the Zone code = 0 for HTF-like time bars in the IntSeries.
2. 7/27/16 Revision description is above

Note:
If you have the previous version, unless the IntSeries is used in either a strategy or in BloodHound and the indication of when there is a HTF-like bar is desired, it is not necessary to install the latest version.


Change Log:
6/7/16 Initial release
6/11/16 Emit Zone code to IntSeries for HFT-like bar time
7/27/16 Various, described above

Better Volume (amaBetterVolume) 5 *
Version 1.1 September 12, 2018

This indicator is based on the original version of the Better Volume Indicator from https://www.emini-watch.com/. It identifies the following events relative to the selected lookback period:

Breakout or climax bars: A breakout or climax bar is a wide range high volume bar for which the the product "volume times range" is higher than for all preceeding bars of the lookback period.

Churn bars: A churn bar is a narrow range high volume bar for which the ratio "volume per range" is higher than for all preceeding bars of the lookback period.

Climax churn bars: A climax churn bar is a high volume bar that qualifies both as a climax bar and as a churn bar.

Low volume bars: A low volume bar is a bar which has a lower volume than for all preceeding bars of the lookback period.

The indicator uses two lookback periods. The larger lookback period identifies stronger climax and churn bars, the smaller lookback period points to weaker climax and churn bars and is used to identify low volume bars.

A breakout or climax bar may occur at different locations. It may start a trend as a breakout bar, it may indicate that an existing trend continues after price has consolidated or it may occur at the end of a trend and indicate that the trend is near exhaustion. This bar type is similar to classic types of gaps that may be found on daily charts. There are runaway gaps, continuation gaps and exhaustion gaps. Breakout or climax bars may be used as a subsitute for those gaps when trading smaller timeframes.

Relative Volume: When you use the BetterVolume indicator with intraday data, it is pretty much distorted at the beginning of the regular session. When compared to pre-session bars, all the bars in the beginning of the regular session look like high volume bars, which in turn leads to false signals. This behavior is corrected when the Better Volume indicator is applied to "relative volume" instead of "absolute volume". This version of the indicator allows for performing the Better Volume calculations on both absolute volume and relative volume.

Sound Alerts: The indicator comes with sound alerts.

Market Analyzer Column: I have included a market analyzer column with the install file. The market analyzer column will return bar codes for each type of signal: strong climax churn bar = 0, strong climax bar = 1, strong churn bar = 2, weak climax churn bar = 3, weak climax bar = 4, weak churn bar = 5, low volume bar = 6, upclose no signal bar = 7, downclose no signal bar = 8, doji no signal bar = 9. Based on these values you may define cell conditions and show the signals as text with background color on the market analyzer.

Update version 1.1: Bug removed. Sound alerts did not fire, because the path for the sound files had not been initialized.

Update version 1.3:: Holiday calendar updated for Relative Volume indicator, sound alerts now working on inactive charts.

Nota: The forum software has renamed the downloadable zip file to the false version number 1.0. Please disregard the version number of the zip file. The zip file contains the indicator version as specified above.

Better Volume with Sound Alerts 5 *
Exported using NT Version 7.0.1000.26

This is a simple version of the Better Volume Indicator from https://www.emini-watch.com/. It is not based on the later versions but the original version and identifies the following events

Breakout or Climax Bars: A breakout or climax bar is a bar with the highest value for the product of volume and range within the lookback period.

Churn Bars: A churn bar is a bar with the highest value for the volume per range within the lookback period.

Climax Churn Bars: A climax churn bar is a high volume bar that qualifies as both climax and churn bar.

Low Volume Bars: A low volume bar is a bar that has the lowest volume within the lookback period.

The indicator uses two lookback periods. The larger lookback period identifies stronger climax and churn bars, the smaller lookback period points to weaker climax and churn bars and is used to identify low volume bars.

Sound Files: The sound files are user selectable. You first need to copy your sound files to the directory C:\Program Files\Ninjatrader 7 \sounds. You can then select these files via the indicator dialogue box. Make sure that your sound files are compatible with NinjaTrader. NinjaTrader 7 does not support wav\MPEG, you need to convert it to wav\PCM first with an audio recorder.

Some further ideas and the sound files that I use can be found here:
https://nexusfi.com/traders-hideout/9042-better-volume-indicator-sound-alerts.html

Version 1.1, April 22, 2011: Bug fixed, low volume bars were not shown correctly.
Version 1.2, January 22, 2012: Paint bar option added. Overlay version showing paint bars only is included. Values for different bar types are exposed as IntSeries
Version 1.3, September 27, 2012: Code efficiency improved, following suggestions by @Zondor.
Version 1.4. December 28, 2012: Bug removed, sound alert for low volume alert was triggered for all bars with setting COBC = false.
Version 1.5. February 10, 2015: Bug removed, paintbar opacity was not applied for low volume upclose bars with setting COBC = false.

Bid/Ask/Last Price Line (for MC .NET) 5 *
A multicharts .NET C# version of the bid / ask / last price lines I used on Ninja. Haven't tested it on all timeframes or instruments, but looks good on futures.

Coded with much inspiration from the Market_Depth_on_Chart_2 indicator included with MC.

Updates on a 0.2 sec timer rather than ticks, so the bid/ask can be drawn when they change without trades.

This is Version 1, posted 6/18/2015.

UPDATE:
Version 2, posted 12/23/2015.
  • Fixes problems with not allowing changes to colors & widths.
  • Cheap hack to work around a bug introduced into MultiCharts .NET builds > 12000. Their "ChartPoint2Point()" is broken now for volume and range charts. Now the price line simply draws 15 bars to the right of the last bar.

Big Candle v1.0 5 *
Big Candle v1.0

Identify unusually large price movements. If the range for the bar is outside of the standard deviation then the bar gets highlighted. There are also options to draw arrows on your main chart, and trigger alerts.

Really good at warning you of large movements triggered by news.

Lines on the indicator show you the average range, and how much range deviates from that average. Basically if that bar is above the top line it will be highlighted. Try different values for the periods and deviation factor to get the movements that you want highlighted.

I recommend using the plots on the indicator to help get the settings that you want, and then resizing the panel to hide the plot. Then just rely on the arrows and alerts.

Big Mike's CL (crude oil) journal V1 4 *
From https://nexusfi.com/journals-daily-charts-tape-reading/627-big-mikes-cl-crude-oil-futures-contract-crude-oil-journal.html

Here is a video blog about trading CL. I also share my usual opinions on multiple time frames and indicators/simplicity, money management, etc.

Play the VLC media player if you have any issues after unzipping, just like all my videos in the Downloads section.

I'll try to keep this journal updated with CL thoughts and trades.

Small chart: 89 volume
Medium chart: 6 range
Large chart: 12 range

I've attached a screen shot (not shown here click link to see) but the main point of this post is in the video not the screen shot.

BigBars3 4 *
Written by Dr Ben, ben_dot_szapiro_at_gmail_dot_com
Hide/Show coding from MindSet's EmaHide.cs script.

Please do not share the script outside the Elite Circle!

Superimpose Range, Renko or Minute Bars to a smaller bar size chart. I use it to look at larger bar sizes without distorting the equidistant bar spacing, and to confirm longer term trends. You can mix and match using BigBars on Range charts, minute charts, etc. The results will vary in live operation depending on COBC = true or false. The Show/Hide Button is activated by pressing the Shift key; after that the button will toggle between Show and Hide the BigBars' plots and boxes. The Show/Hide button makes the OHLC plots Visible/Transparent, and the High-Low,Open-Close boxes get shifted up by the HideOffset value. The default setting for HideOffset=200 Ticks would move the boxes outside the visible chart, but you can choose a smaller HideOffset to merely shift them slightly from the price bars. The "***" markers at the Current Bar location show where would the BigBar close Up or Down based on current price range, if applicable. You may override the first price of the session to some other value; specially useful to better align the BigBarsRenko Bricks with the significant price action/price levels. If StartingValue is left at zero the indicator will use its default Close[FirstBarOfSession].
Enjoy!

BigConstantLines v1.1 5 *
BigConstantLines v1.1

Some traders use a lot of static levels that are sometimes far from current price.
Other want to always be reminded of Big Round Numbers, or quarters, halfs, etc.
Some want a mix of both.

BigConstantLines will use a starting price value (CenterLineValue) and automatically create lines 16 levels above, and 16 levels below using the AddPointsValue increments. OR, just enter each level manually leaving the CenterLineValue and AddPointsValue properties blank/zero.

One can also autopopulate and then override any level with a manually entered price. This may be a S/R level, Pivot, All Time High/Low, whatever. The indi can be added more than once in case there are some numbers from say daily/weekly/month charts that are significantly out of the current trading range, but that you want on the chart if you get there, or if you just want more than 33 levels.

Some instruments tend to move in pretty reliable patterns, say 25 handles. Pick a starting price
for CenterLineValue and enter 25 in the AddPointsValue, voila.

Note: Line17 is the CenterLine, and cannot be manually overridden when using the autopopulate mode.

(This is hack of the standard Constant Lines indicator. It's prolly gonna make your machine explode, create a new COVID variant, cause constipation, and remove all hope for whirled peas. Use at your own risk.)
