I'm using this on a 5 minute chart. I am not sure of its usefulness on anything smaller.
You'll need a semi-wide right margin to see the text, or you can edit the indicator itself if you want to adjust that. v-d1..v-d5 just represents how many days back the line represents, I have it set to do a 5-day rolling action now.
All the lines are drawn ahead of time and do not change intraday.
The premise behind this indicator is to capture the overbought and oversold conditions of CCI, and then draw trend lines on the chart representative of the turning points.
It is designed for Range or Renko charts only.
The lines are drawn in realtime and do not change. They are drawn as soon as a bar closes where the CCI has pivoted to/from an overbought/oversold area, so you get instant feedback.
The idea is the top (resistance / blue) represents the top of the normal trading range. Price will normally bounce off this resistance area and move lower. The bottom (support / red) represents the bottom of the normal trading range. Price will normally bounce off this support area and move higher.
When price does break through either S/R area, it tends to make new highs and lows (ie: breakout).
This is my own interpretation of the popular SuperTrend indicator.
It is a function and an indicator, so you can also easily use it to generate signals.
To get the desired Indicator effect and control over plot colors that I wanted, I made Plot1 and Plot2 a real plot so you could precisely control the RGB color. You need to mark these plots as invisible once you setup the indicator! I will provide a screen shot below as an example.
Plot3 is the real plot, and it will be colored based on if trend is up or down.
This indicator helps the new traders to tune-in to the price bar formations
as the market unfolds.
It reads the Price Action at the micro level,
then prints the formation names on the screen.
Formations:
ib = Inside Bar
FTP = Flat Top Pennant
fbp = flat bottom pennant
ccc = congestion, convergence, centering
This indicator is in beta;
comments and suggestions are welcome.
You are invited to post your renditions as well.
The code should run in MultiCharts and TradeStation,
but I am not sure about OEC.
I have uploaded a PLA file for MultiCharts.
TradeStation users: if you don't know how to import the code into your software,
please spend 5 mins on your users manual to find out how.
