Stocks either go up or down. The degree (measured as standard deviation) at which the trend occurs varies by period.
Closing price and not price change is typically used to calculate standard deviation (or dispersion from mean). However, using the standard deviation of closing price does not illustrate price movement from mean. Therefore, a price change percentage of 0% is your staring point.
The equation below will provide a "number" indicating how strong a trend is. The number is the price change per standard deviation for the given period. It works well on a list of stocks that is sortable.
A stock with a strong upward trend will have a higher value and vice versa in a down trend.
This is a modified z-value calculation using zero as a starting point.

There was something wrong with the export I did 6 January 2011. If you downloaded before 8 January 2011 the version you downloaded probably will not import. Sorry for any inconvenience.
The original version colors the background depending on the user set threshold but does not change the lines on the Histograph. This version sets the lines according to the threshold as well as changes the background color.
Spearman indicator is to be featured in February 2011 Stocks and Commodities, downloaded from NT. Not having seen the article yet, I have no idea how this indicator is used but it looks like another momentum indicator.

This colors 3 different time zones. It allows for timezones that cross date boundaries and shows overlapping timezones by merging the 2 time zone colors. It also display the name of the timezone or names of overlapping time zones. It is an update of the ColoredTimeRegions indicator.
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.
