    Totally agree with you Kiwi.

     

    But I would also like to add that non-brokers should also be not allowed to pimp their wares.

     

    I see that some people have recommended MultiCharts.

     

    I have tried a demo of MultiCharts and would never recommend it.

     

    Did not want to get entangled in a pissing contest - so kept quiet previously.

    This is the code for the 3 Bricks Reversal:

     

    [LegacyColorValue = true]; 

{*********************************************************  
3_LineBrk_V4  Modified 2/12/04 WAV

added input to show/hide paintbars (true/false)
added input to show/hide brk line (true/false)
added input for BrkLine length
alert once per bar only

 use: how to hide regular price bars
  ( format symbol, style, BarType to Line on Close or dot,
   color to chart background or similar )
**********************************************************

"3 Brick Reversal" Modified and Renamed 06/21/06 PatientTrader
(Lonnie VanZandt)

added TrendLine drawing to draw the tops and bottoms of
the "bricks"

cleaned up the Alert reporting

added a vertical Trendline as the last PaintBar of a box
prior to a new box, to close the box cleanly.

The end result is visually identical to John Carter and
Hubert's "TTM Bricks" indicator. I compared the transitions
to those in "Mastering the Trade" and they appear to match.
(Note that Figure 11.8 (@YM Daily) in that book does not
match the 2006 data for @YM for Fourth Quarter 2006. Odd...

    This is the code for the Squeeze aka BB Squeeze:

     

    [LegacyColorValue = true]; 

{@@14439@@}
{04/05/2006}
//Updated by TradingDude, fixed "division by zero error"

{02/16/2005}

Well, I have been working in this indicator. I have made a couple of changes: 
(1) that if the momentum changes direction, it changes color. 
(2) I have taken out the plotting of the alertline 
(3) have the dots plotted along the axis 
(4) Have changed the name of the indicator to BBSqueeze (cuts down on confusion).

I think that you will find that it resembles what is on the TTM indicator.}

{------------------------------------------------------------------}
{mmillar, 05/12/2005
For anyone interested I made a small change to the indicator(s) above.
I found that the indicator displayed fine for ES, YM etc but screwed up for FX - 
this is due to the number of decimal places used by the symbol. 
I just added a multiplier so the indicator is normalised across all symbols.

Add the following lines...
Vars: LHMult(0);
if ( barnumber=1 ) then Begin
LHMult=pricescale/minmove;
end;

And modify the following line so that it includes the LHMult variable...

Plot3(value2*LHMult, "NickmNxtMove", color);

}

{ Bolinger Band Squeeze (BBS) Indicator }

{ A variation of an idea by nickm001 (Originally coded by eKam) that when Bollinger Bands (BB) fit inside
the Keltner Channel (KC), a breakout is about to occur. It works on longer term charts, such as
15 minute to daily charts.

This code creates an indicator that plots the ratio of BB width to KC width. When BB and KC widths are
the same, the ratio (BBS_Ind)is equal to one (1). When the BB width is less than the KC Width (i.e. BB
fit inside KC), the BBS_Ind is less than one and a breakout is indicated.

An Alert Line is provided to indicate the level at which the trader considers that the "sqeeze is on" and 
a breakout is eminant.

Coded by Kahuna 9/10/2003

Added by eKam: 9/10/2003
The average of where price has been relative to the Donchian mid line and Exponential average of the
same length is also plotted as an attempt to predict the direction of the breakout.

Added 2/1/2005 For decreasing Delta bar....darker colors to highlight the change.}

Inputs: {------------------------------------------------}
Price(Close),
Length(20), { Length for Average True Range (ATR) & Std. Deviation (SD) Calcs }

If BBS_Ind < Alertline then
SetPlotColor(1, NormalColor)

    This is the code for the TTM Trend:

     

    { ModHA PaintBarStudy  1/20/04

modified Heikin-Ashi technique

compares current bar open to close range
with prior bars...if current is within
prior then color remains the same

Taken from
https://www.tradestation.com/Discussions/Topic.aspx?Topic_ID=22399

Modified by mm to make it more like TTM Trend - appears to match
www.tradethemarkets.com

}
inputs:	CompBars(6), UpColor(Blue), DnColor(Red), BarWidth(1);

vars:	haClose(0), haOpen(0), color(0);

if BarNumber = 1 then
begin
haOpen = open;
haClose = (O+H+L+C)/4;
end;

if BarNumber > 1 then
begin
haClose = (O+H+L+C)/4; 
haOpen = (haOpen [1] + haClose [1])/2 ;

{ ................................................................................ }

if haClose > haOpen then color = UpColor
else color = DnColor;

for value1 = 1 to CompBars
begin
	if haOpen <= MaxList(haOpen[value1],haClose[value1]) and
 		haOpen >= MinList(haOpen[value1],haClose[value1]) and
		haClose <= MaxList(haOpen[value1],haClose[value1]) and
		haClose >= MinList(haOpen[value1],haClose[value1]) then
			color = color[value1];		
end;

{ ................................................................................ }


//	plotPB(haOpen,haClose,"heikin-ashi",color);
plotPB(High,Low,"heikin-ashi",color);

SetPlotColor(1,color);

    wsam29,

     

    If you are sure that it is not an indicator that you paid for, do this:

     

    1. Open TradeStation

    2. Select the File | Import/Export EasyLanguage ... menu

    3. Select Export EasyLanguage Documents file (ELD). Click Next.

    4. In the Export Wizard Select All Techniques

    5. Then select the TTM Tick Volume Indicator. Click on the > button.

    6. Click Next.

    7. Type in C:\TTM-Bid-Ask-Bars as the File Name

    8. Click Finish

     

    You will now have the TTM-Bid-Ask-Bars.eld file in C:\
