Looking for Useful Indicators

  • #1
  • First Post: Apr 8, 2012 6:37am Apr 8, 2012 6:37am
My trading based on levels and Price Action [PA]. I don't use many indicators other than info providers such as candle timer, semafor etc.

Here is one info indicator i like to have and couldn't find. I wonder if any capable coder would build and share it?

- Display daily opens for 5 trading days [trading week] and open day/price displayed at the right hand-side of the chart until the end of friday trading. [please see image above]
- Display yesterday's High and Low
- Display 3 pivots [daily, weekly and monthly]
- Option to display days with large labels on chart background similar to the image above.

If additional information needed please pm me.

I used "Useful Indicators" as the title of this thread so that others can post here when they develop or come across an indicator that may be useful. Please, no trading signals type of indicators.

GREAT Work bandung.. it's almost there..

- perhaps adding labels to daily open lines using a boxes may be easier.. having daily open labels in this style will help a lot.. lets have labels aligned right with minimum left shift possible.. see updated image below

- moved yday hi-lo labels to the left so it doesn't occupy space on the right

- aligned pivot labels to the center and shifted weekly - monthly to the left as these pivots can come close to eachother very close

- lets put color settings under "Colors" tab on indi settings window and add show / hide options for:

------------Daily Open Lines
show daily open lines....
show daily open line labels...
------------Pivots
show pivots
show pivot labels
------------Yesterday's High - Low
show ydays hi-lo lines
show ydays hi-lo line labels

not necessery but if u feeling up to it you can even add sound alerts for ydays hi-lo and pivots..

BIG THANK YOU for the indi..........................

now lets pump up the volume............

Lol, I thought the vid is Creed..

well i cant make that box.. 'cause rect object is scaled when you zoom in/out the chart, while text object doesnt.
so i choose "Terminal Û" trick which is similar to "Webdings g" trick. dont worry if you're not familiar with it .

and no alert too

so far this is what I can do.

Nice work bandung.

Is it possible to add to the indicator settings day boxes and labels on/off.

I have tried to add Clr_None but I keep getting a black shadow over the candles on the boxed day labels.

Bandung,
Thank you very much for posting this indicator. Been looking for it all day. I was wondering if it's possible for you or a coder to add the option of being able to change the colors of the bands below and above the VWAP? Currently there is only two options(The vwap and above/below together). Any way to split the under/over bands of vwap would be greatly appreciated.
