Not a hope, sorry. Custom indicators leave me baffled and bewildered, usually unable to extract any useful information from them.

This one, having loaded it onto a chart, I hate on sight.

hello everyone. hello steve.
just combined between those 2 indicators. the stoch uses here just to measure the scale of the bb movement.
i think one can see that when the bb lines are constricted beneath 25 stoch level, the market is ranging. above that, perhaps the market is trending. 50 level seems to determine most of the normal moves, means above that signifies a strong move. and last- watch what usually happens when the bb lines reach to 90 stoch level.


i think the indicator was coded by hanover. thank you for that. and special thanks...

hello everyone. hello steve.
i wish to introduce you the follow indicator - ma_angle, coded by dim dimytch, which presents the clear value for the angle of the movement, and by that can imply when the market is flat and when it is trending. play with it. i can think of some usages for it my self, and im sure you will find interest in it.
i will mostly appreciate if you could write down which would be the line in icustom function of which will retrieve its value.
thank you.
