CongestionBoxLite 5 *
Hello Traders, attached is the CongestionBox indie that has been put on a diet. The indie finds congestive candle patterns and then paints the box when there is a breakout (2 candles to confirm). The box has a line that represents the VPOC of the box. I find that this indie, in concert with an MA of your choice works very well to find and keep you in a trend.

A few years ago, I downloaded the CongestionBox indie as submitted by creator jabeztrading. The indie had memory building and slow response issues. The bandaids that I applied at the time were a help so I re-released it. I have learned a few things along the way, and made some dramatic improvements wrt memory and responsiveness. On my system, a refresh of the old indie took 13seconds. This one is about 1 second.

Note to users... I have started cutting down the system resource requirements on many of my indicators that do not need a lot of historical data. On these indies, they calculate only what is on the screen. If you want to scroll back, just hit f5 to re-populate the indicator. It's not a huge savings, but every tick counts

Trade Well...

CongestionBoxBC 5 *
Hello Traders. This indicator looks for a congestion of candles and then a break out. Once the breakout is confirmed, it paints the box up or down and indicates the POC of that congestion box. The indicator is working in real time, but does not paint the box until the breakout is confirmed (2bars). You can change the Box Color if you want to see all of the boxes forming. I find that distracting.

I downloaded the CongestionBox4RNT8 a few months ago and I like the indicator, but there were a few annoying problems. This version fixes the problems that I found in my use.

Fixes:
1. The colors did not stick from startup to startup in the original version...
2. The original consumed a lot of resources, so I set a timer so that it only calculated the boxes during times that matter to the user. This cuts down on the calculations and memory use. You can set the start/stop time to what you want.

R1: Trader Contrax was having problems with autoscaling in his setup. He found what needed to be changed (Thx). Most people will not notice a difference so I edited the indie, left the name the same and just updated the file.

Several traders are having 'freezing' problems. This indie is a resource hog. You want to run as little history as possible with Congestion Box. One trick that I use is to have a transparent chart on the same panel as my main chart. Let's say you have a 5min chart. Add a second 5min chart to the same panel, transparent candles, wicks, etc, with 1 day history. The Congestion Box uses the 1 day chart as its input. You can have several instances of charts on the same panel.. A great NT attribute.

R2: Member jabeztrading, the original developer of the indicator, fixed the issue with the button recurring. This fix also fixed the resource problem. Excellent work!!!

Please let me know if you find any other issues.
Thanks
Bob

Here is the original description...Converted from the NT7 version. Originally design for range bars to box in those congestion areas produced by up and down bars that resulted from the market not going anywhere (it's not perfect).
But some folks had success using the indicator on minute charts.
The box is delayed and the red and green colors are even more delay but this was not meant to be a real time indicator.

ADXVMAColorBands 5 *
Hello Traders, I thought that I uploaded this a few years ago...

I have added color and Volatility Channels (Keltner-ish) to the popular ADXVMA. You can select your colors for an Up trend, Down trend or Neutral. The Volatility Bands can be colored and set to the multipliers that you prefer. In the picture, the ADXVMA is set to 5 periods and the bands are set to 1.618 for the inner band and 3.14 for the outer band.

When the center line is yellow, the trend is not defined. I have found that a touch of the band with a yellow center will reject. I hope that this helps you with the chop.

Trade Well...

TimeSlot 5 *
Hello Traders, there are several reasons to mark certain times. Perhaps you like to mark the 30 and 60 minute time slots, the open of the market, the volatility slots or news releases. This indicator will paint from your start time to your end time.
You can have several instances with different times and different colors and opacity.

I have used this indicator through several instances of NT 8 and several bar types with no issues. This was compiled on NT8 V 14.2

Let me know how you are using it.

Trade Well...
Bob

ATRback 5 *
Hello Traders, there are certain time slots during the day where the volatility increases. This could be due to news releases at certain times or institutional adjustments after the 'morning meetings'. This indicator is a modification of the ATR indicator that makes the average of the ATR 1 (range of one candle) and allows you to set how many candles back to evaluate. For simplicity the candles in the pic are set to 60minutes and the 4 instances of ATRback are set to look back 23, 46, 69, and 92 candles ( 1,2,3,4 trade days back) so you can spot the time slots where the range of the 1 hour candles tend to increase. Another application might be to set the lookback in intervals of a week, so you would be looking at that day of the week 1,2,3,4,weeks back.

This indicator has worked on several instances of NT 8 and several bar types. It was exported using NT8 v14.2

Let me know how it works for you...

Trade Well...
Bob

HMA Color MTF 5 *
Hello Traders, the is an NT8 indicator(exported from 8.0.7.0) that is a colored HMA. The HMA can be calculated from any chart type and period (Multi Time Frame). In the picture is a 15M CL chart. It has two instances of this indie. One is an HMA21 calculated from a 10 min chart and the second is a HMA21 calculated from a 10Range. The indie title displayed on the chart shows the type and period info, as does the title in the user configuration panel. The HMA is completely configurable for color, drawing type HMA Period, Chart Type and Chart Period. There is a label in the right margin of the chart that identifies the indicator. Depending on the timeframes of the chart vs the HMA, you may need to enable Tick Replay in the Data Series. Let me know what you think!

Thanks to Ninja Jim D for his suggestions.

Trade Well

ADXVMA_Color_Bands 5 *
R7: 2/28/2022: I normalized Bands to accommodate fractional TickSize.
R6a: 6/23/2021 - Fixed the background not shading properly and the column number setting.
R5: 1/27/2021 - Added the calculation and display of the range from High to Low inside bands.
R4: 4/10/2020 - NT made some changes that caused errors with some indies. I took care of the error with this rev. When the button hides the indie, you need to hit f5 to hide the background color. If someone knows how to fix this... let me know.
R3:12/20/2018 - I added a switch to show or hide the indicator. I renamed it to ADXVMAButtonBand.
R2: 9/23/2018- I noticed a small error when displaying the Period in the title block.
R1: 2/22/2018- I found an error in how larger user inputs were being handled for the volatility band multipliers. If you were using < 4 multiplier, then you will not see a difference.

Hello Traders, I have added color and Volatility (Keltner-esk) Channels to the popular ADXVMA. You can select your colors for an Up trend, Down trend or Neutral. The Keltner Bands can be colored and set to the multipliers that you prefer. In the picture, the ADXVMA is set to 5 periods and the bands are set to 1.5 for the inner band and 2.5 for the outer band. The background can also be shaded to same colors as the lines.

Many Thanks to Zondor for the original NT8 coding of the ADXVMA.

Hello Traders, Rev 3... Astute trader NgoLimit suggested an enhancement. I have added the ability to change the drawing style.

Rev 2...An astute trader found a slight oversight in the code. The line size went to a fixed width if history was not enabled. I have fixed this. Thanks Aregon!

Rev 1...I have enhanced the capabilities a little. Now you can name the event. In the example, I have the CL Pit Open, the Equities Open and the CL Pit Close. I hope that this is useful for you...

Bob

Hello Traders, Here is an NT8 indicator that marks the pit open, or any other time based event such as a news event or inventory report or the like. It paints a horizontal line from the event and extends for x hours. Since the time can be set, you could use several instances of the indicator for the Open, News Event or whatever you like. You have the Option of turning the text on or off and the option of printing historical events. Since the indicator uses a synthesized 1Minute time base, you can put it on virtually any chart type and the time-price mark will always be correct. I use it for the CL Pit Open and important news events.

This is Rev 1. I added Line Width control

Trade Well

Wide Range Body and Hidden Gaps 5 *
Hello Traders, a few months ago, a trader that I met through BigMikes turned me on to The Strategy Lab.[URL="http://www.thestrategylab.com"] There is a lot of free material there to study. The more that I read, the more that I liked the concept, so I built an indi to show the Wide Range Body (WRB) and WRB Hidden Gap. The concept is to show increasing volatility and areas of support and resistance. I encourage you to read the free material.

This NT7 indicator will work on every chart type although it does not make any sense on some range restricted charts. It colors the candle of the WRB and paints a rectangle for the WRB Hidden Gap. It also draws a vertical line for a WRB in the event that you use it on a PnF chart since there is no candle to color. You can choose the colors and audio indications for the WRB and the WRB Hidden Gap and the line width for the WRB line.

If you are interested in the WRB Zones, I have heard that there is an indi on the Strategy Lab site called Mr Zones that works fine with this indi.

Trade Well
Bob
