Core Indicator

Add the LookBackCandles indicator to your chart to see at a glance how the current trading price relates to various lookback periods of trading: today, this week, this month, last few weeks, etc. Up to 8 lookback periods are shown in one compact display giving the trader both short and long term perspective on price action over various period of the recent past.  LookBackCandles (LBC) can display daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly candles; it can depict price action for any lookback period (such as 1 year back, 2 months back).  LBC has an option to utilize its own scale to maximize the vertical space. Or it may share the same scale as the underlying data/instrument plotted in the chart.  Up to 8 periods may be plotted with each instance of LBC and each may be given it's own colors and style or all lookback periods may share the same common colors and style.  Each period may be labeled in order to make it clear what timeframe each bar/candle represents.  A Current Price Line option makes it clear where the current price is in relation to each period, and a Paint Quadrants option allows the background of each of the quadrants of each bar to be drawn in a user-specified color.  All prices computed by LBC may be store into a series of User Variables (V#) that are automatically labeled.  LBC may be aligned to the left or right of the window pane, or dragged into the SideBar by simply dragging onto the scale at the right.

The Boundaries RTX extension is designed to allow user to manually identify and mark boundaries (bars or date/times) that can then be used effectively by indicators such as the Profile and Price Statistics Indicator. Visually, the Boundary extension is a horizontal strip at a user-specified height upon which user can click to mark or unmark any bars as the start and/or ending boundary.

The Zones Indicator is designed to automate the identification of zones between a range of prices over a series of bars/time. The primary motivation for the creation of this indicator is to identfy consolidation zones where price remains in a given range over a minimum period bars or time. An Extend Naked option extends the zones until the zone is filled by future price movement. As an example, Zones can identify when price remained in a 10 tick range over a series of 20 bars or more, and once breaking that range, it can extend the naked band until price moves back across the zone.
