This version functionally replaces the previous version(s) described and available here but does not replace it when this version is installed. The previous version can be removed manually when and if desired.
Enhancements/Changes in Version 2
1. User can select from several MA types for the Moving Average plots, some of which are from Lizard Indicators made available by the GNU license. Credits to Lizard Indicators for both their indicators and the MA selection code.
2. When MA smoothing is selected the type can be an SMA, EMA, or the selected MA type. The smoothing period for each MA (fast, mid, and slow) can be set individually. A MA period of 0 eliminates the smoothing for that MA. Note: The Mid MA can be used as an intermediate period by specifying a value between the fast and slow periods. When the mid MA is requested with zero value for the period (default) will result in the mid period being calculated. If a period is specified and it is not between the fast and the slow the midpoint is calculated and used. No warning message is displayed.
3. The ability to apply volume filters (1-4) against the Net volume thereby limiting the Net volume histogram display a net bar only for the volume specified in the filter(s).
4. More control over how plots are displayed.
5. The divergence marker has been moved from the Total histogram to the Net histogram. This was done because the Total histogram can be turned off. The Net and/or Net filters must be active for the divergence marker to be displayed. If the Filter option is chosen without the Net plots being display the marker will only be display when there is a divergence on a filter value.|
6. The plot for the in-progress bar has its own color and can be user set. This plot is always displayed regardless of the display option selected.
7. This is not a change but a clarification as it also existed in the previous version. The position of the total line (above the line if a buy total and below the line if a sell total) is not based upon the last Close price but on the value (positive or negative) of the Net volume.
Similar to the previous version at times setting the Indicators region Type property to Logarithm is easier to read. The 2 instances of the indicator in the screen shot have the same operation modes set but the bottom one shows some of the ability to control what is displayed. without needing to independently setting each to transparent. If a particular display is turned off the values are still calculated and can be viewed in the Data Box.

As the name implies, this NT-8 indicator looks for Inside Bars and then simply paints an all white bar on your candle stick or OHLC bar chart, (it works on Hollow Candlestick charts also).
If the bar is an Inside Bar and is also a Doji (Open[0] == Close[0]) the indicator will paint a diamond on the close of the bar to highlight the Doji for you.
You might have to change the default color choices if you're using lighter colored chart backgrounds.
Indicator will color the candlestick outlines and the candle bodies, one color regardless of the direction they close in (up or down). The indicator is set to calculate on bar close. (no need for it to be anything else)
Hi Traders,
I find it necessary to make sure to stay out of the markets when they are "slow" vs "fast". However, historically that is challenging as it has been quite subjective. Watching the time and sales order flow gives a sense, but what is fast now vs earlier or another time period is still subjective.
I wrote the following simple indicator which gives some level of quantitative visibility if the mkt is moving fast vs slow. The indicator takes the time difference between the the last tick update of the bar compared to the previous tick update. A slower market will have a longer duration and therefore a larger value. A fast market will have very short durations of updates with values closer to 0.
I trade with tick charts so that is the lens that I am viewing this indicator. I wanted to have the values coincide with visual trend of values that are trending "up" (faster) vs "down" indicating slower mkts. That is why I applied a sign reversal to the values in the code.
When using the indicator, values closer to 0 indicates very fast, vs. values with larger negative values represent a slower market (hence the duration between updates is longer in duration). In the screenshot, I have a green line and red line manually applied which are my thresholds for fast vs slow. Those levels were based on my own analysis and screen time of the market being traded. You will have to gauge levels yourself based on the market and chart used.
Suggestions welcome and glad to contribute.

This indicator allows chart updates on each tick or price change with a user defined refresh time interval.
Settings:
Refresh Time Interval in Milliseconds = Number of milliseconds between chart refreshes.
Under "Set up > Calculate" choose between updates on each tick or each price price change.
Example values for Refresh Time Interval in Milliseconds:
0 = update on every tick or price change.
1 = maximum of 1000 updates per second.
10 = maximum of 100 updates per second.
20 = maximum of 50 updates per second.
100 = maximum of 10 updates per second.
The sane default is 10 milliseconds. But you can set it to 0 without issues.
See a demos here:
Releases:
Version 1 March 25 2019: Initial release

Version 3 March 28 2019: Optimized to prevent lag in fast markets if computer cannot keep up.
