A friend of mine summarized some thoughts from the Head FX trader of a very large Chinese pension fund (I mean large).
By his own admission he was not a good daytrader, so don't take his comments about daytrading too seriously. On the other hand he was very good in the weekly and monthly time frames. There are several good nuggets, enjoy.

This is a simple indicator that allows to display larger timeframe candles on any chart. For example you can display 30 min or 60 min candles on a 5 min chart.
The larger timeframe candles are plotted behind the standard candles of the chart and are aligned to session times. Colors and opacity of the candles and the candle outline color can be selected.
The indicator has been tested to work on fixed period (minute), tick, range, Kagi, Renko and rangeNoGap charts. Due to its session logic in cannot be used on daily data.
Update December 3, 2010: Improved to work with all data feeds. Some data feeds fill and other do not fill the minute data, when no trade has occurred. The indicator will now select the correct intervals in both cases.
Update May 6, 2011: Bug fixed. On minute charts the first multi period candle after the session start contained one bar less than expected.
Update December 14, 2011: Indicator optimized following suggestion by Richard (Zondor).
NinjaTrader by default disables the Chart Trader when one uses any strategy. This is a limitation which often bogs traders. Chart Trader indicator demonstrates how to send orders via an indicator.
Here in the sample indicator you can send Limit orders, through two additional buttons in the chart trader. The orders can be modified/cancelled from the chart or from the SuperDom.
The indicator is tested in Sim and Interactive Brokers DEMO account. Trade it live entirely at your own risk.
Use the indicator entirely at your own risk. Under no circumstances the author be held responsible for any damages, whatsoever, arising out of the use of this indicator.

Constance Brown's Derivative Oscillator was published in her book "Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional".
The oscillator uses a 14-period RSI. The RSI is then double smoothed with exponential moving averages. The default settings for the smoothing periods are 5 and 3.
In a second step a signal line is generated from the smoothed RSI by calculating a simple moving average with a period of 9.
The Derivative Oscillator is calculated as the difference between the smoothed RSI and the signal line and displayed as histogram.
Expectancy is how much you expect to earn from each trade for every dollar you risk. Opportunity is how often your strategy trades. You want to maximize the product of both. Expectancy = (AW × PW + AL × PL) ⁄ |AL| (expected profit per dollar risked) Expectancy score = Expectancy × Opportunity where AW = average winning trade (excluding maximum win) PW = probability of winning (PW = <wins> ⁄ NST
where <wins> is total wins excluding maximum win) AL = average losing trade (negative, excluding scratch losses) |AL| = absolute value of AL PL = probability of losing (PL = <non-scratch losses> ⁄ NST) Opportunity = NST × 365 ⁄ studydays (opportunities to trade in a year) where
NST = <total trades> − <scratch trades> − 1 In other words, NST = non-scratch trades during the period under test (a scratch trade loses commission+slippage or less) minus 1 (to exclude the maximum win).
studydays = calendar days of history being tested
This code atttempts to duplicate this algebraic information in NT7 eese.

See the discussion here. (Note this thread goes back to an earlier time and the template has evolved slightly... for instance the 540BB is white since I use a black background; but these changes are minor and you can get the idea from them).
There is no version number as this is a comilation of all the custom indicators used in this template. It is what I use as of the date of this submission.
I found (or someone pointed out & I remembered) that this version could plot Green bars below zero (when they should have been Red) or Red bars above zero (when they should have been Green). I found the error in the code & corrected it.
Once imported, it will appear in your indicator list as "d9POV2".

May 9th, 2014 06:03 AM TrendTraderBH This helps somewhat but is it possible for NT to automatically place a limit order 1 or 2 ticks "behind" price (ie. in a
n uptrending market) once a certain defined price level is hit.
For example, when price hits 1880.75, NT automatically places a live buy limit order at 1880.25
EDIT: Also, I had NT test the indicator and they were unable to attach an ATM Strategy to the Entry order and said that
in order to attach and ATM Strategy this would required custom programming. Is there another version available that al
lows ATM Strategies to be used.
October 1st, 2012 10:58 AM asteriskstar is it possible to update the limit price to last bar's high/low automatically ?

June 19th, 2011 03:29 PM coolfutures Thank you very useful.
June 16th, 2011 02:42 AM ValLiant has anyone modified it so that if you have a strategy enabled you can still trade off the charts? would be a great addi
November 8th, 2013 11:28 PM Amsterdam Whale This is quite good and I think, after my first run-through anyway, it will benefit thoughtful market participants of all
kinds. That said, it is not at all dense, makes an easy reference b/c is well and logically laid out and most important
ly, has the potential to make you sound really, really smart at parties. What you do with such power is entirely up to y
ou - you playah you.
