ToR 1.02 - Trending or Ranging

OK, the latest version of ToR now adds CCI on three timeframes, 1 min, 5 min and 15min

with both Entry and Trend user adjustable. The calculation is done price typical so it

will match up with woodie’s CCI numbers.

OK, 1.11 was broken, if anyone has it delete it and use 1.12 instead or the new 1.20.

This indicator I originally wrote to simple tell between trending and ranging markets.

But now it’s almost a little trading system in itself.

The next version will give plain text buy and sell signals in addition to what is shown in

1.20.

Other functionality remains the same.

This indicator shows you whether a pair is trending or ranging.

For trending markets use moving averages and for ranging

market use oscillators.

It shows ADX values for multiple timeframes to help you

decide which trading technique to use.

Sometimes you’ll see short-term trends against the H4

and D1 trend.

Green is up, Red is down, Blue is ranging. There are two arrows

for both up and down depending on the strength of the trend.

There is a 45 degree arrow up and down for beginning trend and

a 90 degree arrow up and down for strong trends. The squiggly

lines represent ranging.

Also, it seems to me that in ranging markets you’ll get conflicting

info from ADX on different timeframes.

Version: 1.20

1.20 - added CCI with two periods in 1, 5 and 15 min

1.12 - fixed some bugs in 1.11

1.11 - changed to “stronger” and “weaker”, added 4 Hour

1.10 - added ADX increasing and decreasing notice

1.03 - adjusted spacing, fonts, unreleased

1.02 - added arrows, ranging icon, no zero space state

for icons/arrows, spacing got messed up, now

fixed

1.01 - unreleased, reduced number of colors, functional

1.0 - unreleased, too many colors for ADX values
