Any suggestions about a momentum and volume indicator?

  The indicator on this screenshot approaches the effect where I am looking for the best.

  Instead of the colored zones It would make the indicator more clear when the zones are replaced for historgrams.

  Ok so to be clear, you want the middle of the Bollinger band (which is a simple MA) to be the the zero line?

  @Marcel

  This is the code of the indicator you described. Are you using it in a mean reversion theory? Or sign of exhaustion of the price in a trend following strategy? I may put this one into the library for the benefit of everyone.

  period=20 c=Chandle[period](close) avg=average[period](c) osc=c-avg middle=average[period](osc) dev=std[period](osc) up=middle+dev*2 dn=middle-dev*2 return osc coloured(200,0,0) style(histogram),up style(dottedline),dn style(dottedline), middle style(line)

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

  period=20   c=Chandle[period](close) avg=average[period](c)   osc=c-avg middle=average[period](osc) dev=std[period](osc) up=middle+dev*2 dn=middle-dev*2   return osc coloured(200,0,0) style(histogram),up style(dottedline),dn style(dottedline), middle style(line)

  Thanks a lot.

  But unfortunately in your picture the histogram is not build from the (dynamic) BB midline like the colored zone on my picture.

  I use this indicator as a sign of exhaustion of the price in a trend following strategy.

  By the way I named the indicator ‘Pressure Gage’

  To get the middle of your bollinger band at the zero level, you only need to substract an SMA20 to CMO, and that’s what the indicator did. But I made wrong bollinger up and down in my first code sorry, so this is the correct code:

  period=20 c=Chandle[period](close) avg=average[period](c) dev=std[period](c) upper=avg+dev*2 lower=avg-dev*2 osc=c-avg up=upper-avg dn=lower-avg return osc coloured(200,0,0) style(histogram),up style(dottedline),dn style(dottedline)

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

  period=20   c=Chandle[period](close) avg=average[period](c) dev=std[period](c) upper=avg+dev*2 lower=avg-dev*2   osc=c-avg up=upper-avg dn=lower-avg       return osc coloured(200,0,0) style(histogram),up style(dottedline),dn style(dottedline)

  Please find attached comparison of the 2 indicators.

  I get attached, is this correct for the code in #37654 ??

  Hi Grahal,

  My excuses for my late reaction, I was on a holliday in the sun for a while.

  I have tweaked the pressure Gage indicator a little . I encluded the code of the indicator as I am using it now.

  Pressure Gage indicator

  period=20 c=Chandle[period](close) avg=average[period](c) dev=std[period](c) upper=avg+dev*2 lower=avg-dev*2 osc=c-avg up=upper-avg dn=lower-avg if osc>0 then r=0 g=0 b=102 endif if osc<0 then r=255 g=102 b=102 endif return osc coloured(r,g,b) style(histogram),up style(dottedline),dn style(dottedline)

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

  period=20 c=Chandle[period](close) avg=average[period](c) dev=std[period](c) upper=avg+dev*2 lower=avg-dev*2 osc=c-avg up=upper-avg dn=lower-avg   if osc>0 then r=0 g=0 b=102 endif   if osc<0 then r=255 g=102 b=102 endif   return osc coloured(r,g,b) style(histogram),up style(dottedline),dn style(dottedline)
